I'm happy to announce the second beta release of Nuvola Player 2.1
that brings a few fixes, updated translations and updated template for
translations [1]. The common changelog for Beta 1 and Beta 2 releases
is divided into three parts: user news [2], developer news [3] and bug
fixes [4].

== Crowd-funding ==

I'm trying to crowd-fund my work on Nuvola Player via Gittip [8]. If
you like Nuvola Player and its features [9] and appreciate all the
work that has been done so far, please consider setting up a small
recurrent donation [8] to support further maintenance and development
of Nuvola Player, thank you. If there are enough supporters, I will
start porting Nuvola Player to WebKit2Gtk [10] (this should solve all
issues with Flash plugin forever) and I will set up a website for
voting for new features to be implemented in next development cycle,
so you will have influence on what I will spend funded time on. The
current funding goal is 25 USD/week (100 backers with a minimal tip
0.25 USD).

=== About Nuvola Player ===

Nuvola Player runs a web interface of cloud music services in its own
window and provides integration with a Linux desktop (multimedia keys,
system tray, media player applets, dock menu, notifications and more)
to create more native experience than common web browsers.

Enjoy!
