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 - projects made using these features may not necessarily load in later versions of LMMS.

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.

Changelog

This release contains over 5 years of work completed since the previous alpha.1 release, including 932 commits and 3457 files changed by 65 contributors. It brings 8 new native plugins, ARM64 builds, many new features and quality-of-life improvements, hundreds of bug fixes, and many performance improvements.

Note for macOS users: if you're using macOS 10.14(Mojave) or newer, please use the according version. The macOS 10.13 build is buggy on 10.14 or newer.

This is a release from the development branch, like nightly builds(but not exactly). Binaries in this release page may be updated without any prior notifications, but backups will be provided once we update them, in case of serious regressions.

Note that this isn't a beta or release candidate, so there are no stability or compatibility guarantees. In other words crashes may happen, and in the worst case scenario your project files may break.
Also, some features may be added or removed before betas or stable releases.

Git commit for each binary releases are as follows:
