+#### Winter and Summer are coming
+
+Contrasts.
+As the leaves fall and the first snowflakes start drifting down in the North, while the southern skies start warming up
+with summer sun, we are thrilled to finally release Mixxx 2.4.2! Finally because a bit later than planned, we would like
+to apologize for the delay but we can't release a non-prefect version. This release is a major bugfix-release for the
+2.4 series before stepping over to a new number.
+This release covers a lot of issues reported by our users and contains updates for many controller-mappings.
+Don't be scared, development won't hibernate.
+
+#### Testing and translating
+
+A special thank you to everyone who takes the time to test alfa and beta versions, to who report issues and proposes and to those
+who propose features and improvements. Your feedback is invaluable.
+A lot of new users and contributors have joined our community the past months, we'd like to welcome them all, spin it up,
+your energy and fresh ideas have already left a mark.
+Everybody can contribute to Mixxx. Did you remark an error on the website, an incomplete subject in the manual, an error in translation?

+
+#### Contrast
+
+On a serious note, we’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the challenges and hardships faced by people around the world,
+whether due to conflict, natural disasters, violence, diseases, poverty or other tragedies.
+Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by all kinds of events, we hope that music and communities like ours, can provide some solace,
+joy, and unity.
+We cannot ignore the fact that while we are preparing a cozy indoor set or a crowded beachside party,
+for many people music and DJ-ing are a kind of unattainable luxury.
