1.3.0-alpha.2

This is a release from the development branch, like nightly builds (but not exactly).

The degree of stability provided by this release is greater than that of nightly builds but less than that of stable releases. Crashes may happen, and in the worst case scenario your project files may break. Project files saved in this release cannot be reopened in previous versions of LMMS, making it a one-way upgrade. New features added in an alpha release may be modified or even removed prior to the next stable release - do not expect forward compatibility.

That said, we recommend this release to most users over the nightly builds.

System requirements

The system requirements for LMMS have changed since the last release. Notably, 32-bit builds have been dropped.
