Songs-DB 1.4 beta build 503 is ready for testing!

Post by rusty »

If you're interested in trying out the latest and greatest, the second beta of Songs-DB 1.4 is available for download.

As with the original beta, keep in mind that it contains a number of bugs, some of which have not yet been discovered. The beta is being provided for feedback and testing purposes, and is recommended for use only by advanced users who regularly test pre-release software. If you plan on testing the beta, take precautions to backup your data to protect against any data loss during installation or usage.
