===============================================================================
- 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.

- only display album artists, instead of all artists in your library.
+ Enable Last.fm scrobbling of recent plays from a connected device.
+ Currently only available on devices supported by the AppleDevice
