# Changes

Below are the major changes of the released versions and links to more detailed release notes.

## Alpha

This is the first alpha release of the **0.4.9.x** series. There are a lot of changes which are mostly bug fixes that were also mostly backported to the latest 0.4.8.13 stable release.

Several minor features are in this release for which you can find the list in the notes below.

We believe the stabilizing process of this series won’t take too long considering that no new big subsystem or major features were added. And so, expect the first stable to come out in around 2-3 months period (famous last words! ;).
