+
+The OpenLP developers are pleased to announce the second release candidate of OpenLP 3.1. This release candidate
+contains a multitude of bug fixes, a number of enhancements, and even a new feature or two. There are also a number of
+changes under the hood which puts OpenLP in a good position for the future.
+
+**Wait, what happened to the first release candidate?!**
+
+We had some issues with the packaging of RC1, and we caught a couple regressions (bugs that cause a feature not to work
+like it previously did), and so we had to build a new release.
+
+   Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, "Rejoice!" Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at
+   hand. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be
+   made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your
+   thoughts in Christ Jesus.
+
+   Philippians 4:4-7
+
+.. note:: **Windows 7 is no longer supported!** (Microsoft does not support it either.)
+
+   In order to make use of newer technologies, features and optimizations in the libraries that OpenLP uses, we have
+   had to drop support for Windows 7. Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 in January 2020, and Python stopped
+   supporting Windows 7 with the release of Python 3.9 in October 2020.
+
+.. warning:: **Download on macOS is damaged**
+
+   macOS reports OpenLP as damaged, due to the OpenLP app not being signed. If you encounter this
+   problem, you can try the following solution:
+
+   1. From Applications / Utilities run Terminal
+   2. In Terminal, type in the following command::
+           
+       xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenLP.app
+           
+   3. In some cases, you may need to append ``sudo`` to the above command
+   4. This should allow you to start OpenLP normally
+
+.. warning:: **Video/media playback on macOS**
+
+   OpenLP uses VLC for video and media playback. At this stage VLC is not bundled with OpenLP, so you will need to
+   download and install it yourself.
+
+   You can download VLC from the `VLC website`_.
+
+.. warning:: **Ubuntu 22.04, Linux Mint**
+
+   The main view in the web remote does not update automatically on Ubuntu 22.04 due to
+   Ubuntu/Mint shipping an old version of python3-websockets. This can be fixed by
+   downloading and installing an updated version of the package from `the official
+   Ubuntu archive`_.
+
+.. warning:: **Wayland on Linux**
+
+   OpenLP at present does not behave well under Wayland so the recommendation is to run
+   under X11. If you can't run in X11 (or prefer to run it in XWayland), you should
+   start it with ``QT_QPA_PLATFORM`` environment variable set to ``xcb``, although the
+   Main View from the Web Remote will not work.
+
+.. warning:: **Video backgrounds**
+
+   Video / streaming backgrounds and background audio in songs currently do not work
+   together. You may experience either the video not working but the audio works, or
+   the audio doesn't work while the video does.
+

+
+.. note:: **Debian/Ubuntu builds will be coming soon**
+
+   We will update this blog post once the Debian/Ubuntu package has been built
