+As the song says "Come now is the time to - test a new version of OpenLP!"
+
+Apart from some select as-yet implemented features, this beta contains all the features that will be in the
+final release of OpenLP 3.0. This beta release should be stable enough for people to try it out and report back
+any bugs they encounter. Please make sure you know how to generate a `debug log file`_ and submit a log file when
+something goes wrong.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Installing this version of OpenLP will override any other installation of OpenLP you already have. Please
+   `make a backup`_ of your data!
+
+Of course there are a ton of bug fixes across the board, including fixes in some of the song importers, fixes in
+handling videos, presentations as well as fixes to the web Bibles.
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+* Keynote and PowerPoint support for macOS
+* New web remote version (upgrade by visiting Settings -> Remotes)
+* Fixed SongSelect importer -- it now opens an internal web browser
+* A better dark mode on Windows 10
+* Native dark mode on macOS
+
+.. note::
+
+   All bugs (not feature requests) from previous releases will be closed, and only bugs from this
+   release moving forward will be tracked.
+
+Known issues
+------------
+
+* Using a video / streaming background theme prevents playback of audio linked to to songs
