What's new?

I've been hard at work for the last 11 months working on Swing Music without a release. I've decided to make this beta release before the year ends to show the world what I've been staying up all night to work on.

Important

This is not a polished released, so please expect a few broken things here and there.

The Docker container for this release is available here:

https://github.com/orgs/swingmx/packages/container/swingmusic/329450410?tag=v2.0.0.beta10
