When we gonna have a final release of Poweramp leaving beta behind?

Probably a question hard to answer.

New Stable releases tend to be set about four times a year, with interim new Beta updates to add new features or fix discovered issues coming out in the meantime.

Build 976 is the most recent to be promoted to 'Stable' status (about a month ago) while 981 is the latest beta update, which can't be too far off being ready to be moved to Stable.

But there will never be a 'Final' release - as in "that's your lot, nothing more to add". Well, not until Android stops morphing itself into new variants, and users stop asking for new features.

@eddie_the_man app stores, including Play do not allow final versions, we can't issue v1.00, then v2.00, etc. as this is considered a "spam" and app (and often whole developer account) gets banned. So it's always a single app being developed constantly, with closed/alpha/beta versions being available as well.

Also, it's not possible to set any dates for even an intermediate stable version as number of features, options, and overall work required to make it is unknown.
