-    scheduled for March 21st, 2012.

-
+    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.
+
+    New Features:
+
+      * DVD playback support

+
+      * More flexible browsing of your media
+
+            You can now display the genres and years in the browser, in
+            addition to the artists and the albums, and use them to filter your
+            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.
+
+      * UPnP support
