-    Banshee 2.4 is the culmination of six months' work by 31 developers, 33
-    translators and dozens of bug reporters and testers. It is a stable release,
-    the successor to Banshee 2.2.
+    Banshee 2.5.0 is the first release in the 2.5 development series leading up
+    to 2.6, scheduled for October 2012.

-            music library. The artist filter can be hidden, or it can be set to
-            only display album artists, instead of all artists in your library.
+            Enable Last.fm scrobbling of recent plays from a connected device.
