+
+We're really happy to announce our first beta release of the upcoming OpenLP 2.4.
+
+You might think this is really soon after the last release, and it is true. We are having to accelerate our release to
+move to PyQt5 due to a packaging problem on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and other Linux distributions. As of today, OpenLP is
+no longer in the Debian repository because a package it relies on has been removed.
+
+We're long overdue moving to Qt5 as it is, so this just means we're moving to Qt5 a little sooner than we had
+anticipated.
+
+A number of features have been added, and some bugs fixed, in this release:
+
+* Removed unnecessary ‘?’ help buttons, and fixed the remaining ones
+* Double verses at end of song now show correctly on stageview
+* Ctrl-F selects all text in the search field
+* Verse order can now be either upper or lower case (e.g. "v1 v2 v3" or "V1 V2 V3")
+* Songbooks now support multiple songbook entries
+* Fixed various issues with song importers
+
+While version 2.3.1, the first alpha, was release, we didn't blog about it. The following updates were released in 2.3.1:
+
+* Upgrade to PyQt5 from PyQt4
+* Add proper shortcuts for Mac OS X
+* Don't hide the dock and menu bar on Mac OS X when using only a single screen
+* Allow the display to drop below the main window when using only a single screen on Mac OS X
+* VLC not available after upgrade to 2.2
+* Improve the notificaions of deletion of themes when used by Plugins
+* All the implementation of custom stage.css ouside core code
+* Fix Alert with line break from remote so it does not fail from Remote Interface
+* Amend Search as you type settings as configured to use wrong Settings Tab
+* Unable to distinguish between songs with the same title in Remote Interface
+* Allow Print service change font size by allowing configurable style sheets
+* Fix images disappearing from images list
+* Better Labeling on Menus and Labels.
+* Add support for song import from VideoPsalm
