On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to
announce the availability of the first public beta release of the next
major version of Rivendell, v4.0.0beta1. Rivendell is a full-featured radio
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast
environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License
version 2.

From the 'NEWS' file:

   Second beta release of Rivendell v4.x. Be sure to read the INSTALL
   document, as major changes in software dependencies have occurred.

Major Changes Between v3.x and v4.x:
   Qt Toolkit. Rivendell v4.x uses and is fully compatibile with major
   version 5 of Qt (Qt5). See the INSTALL documents for specifics.

   MySQL Compatibility. Rivendell v4.x aims for full compatibility with
   MySQL 8.0 and earlier versions in their default installation
   configurations.

   automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
