+
+Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, it's finally here! Yes, OpenLP 3.0 has been released!
+
+
+    And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the
+    Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
+
+    Colossians 3:23-24 WEB
+
+
+One of our original goals with OpenLP was to move to faster releases, and while that didn't seem to
+happen for version 3.0, moving foward we are aiming to roll out releases much faster. With that in
+mind, we decided that the worst bugs have been fixed, and most people should be pretty happy with
+the 3.0 release.
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+Before we dive into the new features, here are some known issues which may apply to you:
+
+.. warning:: **Ubuntu 22.04**
+
+   The main view in the web remote does not update automatically on Ubuntu 22.04 due to Ubuntu
+   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.
+
+.. warning:: **macOS**
+
+   macOS may report OpenLP as damaged. 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. This should allow you to start OpenLP normally
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+One of the biggest changes in version 3.0 is that we completely rewrote the renderer, meaning that
+we were able to bring in efficient transitions between slides for text items (i.e. songs, Bible
+verses, custom slides). Transitions are available as part of themes.
+
+Another major change in version 3.0 is the remote. Maintaining separate remotes for browsers,
+Android and iOS was painful and slow. In version 3.0 we rewrote the remote API, and have
+consolidated our work into the web remote. The web remote is also no longer bundled with OpenLP,
+allowing us to roll out updates to the remote separately from OpenLP itself. The old API's will be
+removed in a future release breaking the Android and IOS applications. Please migrate to the new
+Web Interface.
+
+In addition to the two above, OpenLP now supports presentations on macOS, using LibreOffice,
+Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac and Keynote. Support of Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer has been removed.
+
+Other New Features
+------------------
+
+- VLC is now bundled with OpenLP on macOS and Windows, and there is no need to select a media
+  players
+- Guide marks to show position within a clip and the ability to repeat the playing video
+- Motion (video) backgrounds in themes
+- Better screen detection and configuration
+- Performance improvements reducing start up times
+- The settings page has been updated, so a number of options have moved
+- All icons have been migrated from images to scalable monochromatic fonts to allow for the
+  support of larger desktop displays and dark themes
+- OpenLP now ships with a dark interface/UI theme. On Windows and macOS, it can be enabled by
+  enabling the dark theme on system. You can always force the dark theme by changing the Interface
+  Theme in Settings
+- Media and Presentations now support being grouped by folders
+- Slide numbers in footer can be enabled in Settings
+- Songs can be searched by number
+- Chord support in songs (can be enabled in Song settings). The chords are shown in the "Chords
+  View" section of Web Remote, which supports chord transposition and mobile devices
+- More song formats can be imported: 
+  - Singing The Faith
+  - LivePresenter
+  - ProPresenter 5 and 6
+  - EasyWorship 6
+  - ChordPro (for chords)
+- More bible formats can be imported:
+  - SWORD
+  - WordProject
+- Support for importing services from PlanningCenter
+
+Updates and Bug Fixes
+---------------------
+
+A lot more has been fixed, updated or improved, far too much to include here. If you're really
+curious, you can do a `comparison between 2.4.6 and 3.0.0`_ on GitLab.
