+
+We're getting closer and closer to a release. Today we're excited to bring you our release candidate of OpenLP 2.4. If
+there are no major issues with version 2.3.3, we will release version 2.4 in a week or two.
+
+OpenLP 2.4 is a short release with the main goal being upgrading OpenLP to use Qt 5. Up until now, we've been using
+version 4 of the GUI toolkit called Qt ("cute"). The GUI toolkit is how we display our interface.
+
+Bugs we've fixed in this release
+--------------------------------
+
+* `#1531319`_: Update the presentation display as it isn't updated on Windows when verses change
+* `#1404669`_: KDE Plasma 5 is breaking the look of OpenLP for the Media Library
+* `#1532169`_: Expanding or Collapsing a Song in ServiceManager raises an Exception
+* `#1532938`_: Presenting with PowerPoint or Impress triggers traceback
+* `#1533081`_: Importing Song DB fails
+* `#1534306`_: Empty song-titles causes tracebacks on update from 2.0 to 2.2
+* `#1535332`_: Startup display on second monitor hides items send live
+* `#1536411`_: Verse order textbox jumps to end
+* `#1533280`_: Songs with linked audio cause traceback
+* `#1537212`_: Song book number input box - not clearing and unexpected 'Enter' action

+
+Known issues
+------------
+
+* On Windows when using transparent themes, the display will not update correctly.
+
+Translations
+------------
+
+The latest translations have been included so these are close to being the final version for 2.4. More help is always
+needed to improve the scope of our translations.
