At long last, we are proud to announce the first alpha release of OpenLP 3.0!
The biggest new feature in version 3.0 is the new renderer. Still based in HTML, but using the new Chrome-based
QtWebEngine component, it should deliver much better performance, and it also enables us to offer something people have
been requesting for a long time: transitions!
But the wheat and the spelt were not ruined, for they ripen late.
Exodus 9:32
.. warning::
This is a preview of the next version of OpenLP. It is unstable, there are bugs, it will crash. DO NOT use it on any
system you need to depend on. We cannot be held responsible for your data loss. Once you have installed OpenLP 3.0,
your data will be upgraded, and you will be unable to return to OpenLP 2.4.6. Do not upgrade unless you are sure you
don't need version 2.4.6 any more. This version of OpenLP will overwrite your current installation.
