+    Hello again everyone, we're glad to bring to you the 4th beta of the upcoming Carla 2.0 release.<br/>
+    This release was mostly focused on bug-fixing, so there aren't many splashy new features to show compared to previous ones.<br/>
+    Still, here's the highlights.

-    Plugin bridges only work on Linux right now.
-    They used to be working for OSX but now stopped due to a OS limitation.
-    This will be fixed in the next beta.

-    Windows 64bit shows small console windows when discovering plugins.
-    This is not intended, will hopefully be fixed soon.
