So, haven’t checked here in a few days, and i decide to check the backstage site… =)
It seems to be mostly a bugfix release, the README hasn’t been updated.
Wow, thats weird! I’m looking forward to the changelog.
Curious! Why wasn’t there a post about it 
Only bugfixes, nothing new I guess?
aww, I was thoroughly enjoying being the only person who knew about it. hah. I installed windows last week and noticed it. I am surprised it took so long for this thread to pop up 
oh - it’s real? I was expecting some sorta gotcha after logging in. Is there much reason to download this? I’m just probably going to wait it out.
The changelog is this bugfix list:
https://forum.renoise.com/c/help-support-bugs/pending-bug-fixes
the release of 2.8.2 was mostly due to OSX Mavericks causing crashes when using AU plugins, so thank Apple for it 
Fixed a bug where we hadn’t had any good Renoise 3.0 rumors in a while
doh! i expected that “source” link to point to the full source code of renoise 
… oh btw in the linux archive (at least the 32bit) all files are chmod +x …slightly annoying 
hahaha one year of bugfixing release
this is a huge step forward hahahahahahahaha or maybe NO
I am glad they´re in it for making perfect software for those who have not buyed upgrade that last to to 3.0. Cheers! Even though i have.
lil bug: readme.txt has unix style CR/LFs. As such it opens messed up in notepad on Windows.
also, removing the Renoise_Reg.exe after installing takes ± 6 minutes.
You should report this directly at Microsoft Support.
That’s the best idea I heard today. And I’ve been watching TED and THNKR on youtube.
Where was the sarcasm smiley?
