+_"I gotta have more cowbell!"_ - you asked for more and `v2.10`
+delivers.
+
+The main feature in this release is the completely new sample system for
+working with large folders of samples. You can now easily index into and
+filter over whole folders of samples with a simple yet powerful filter
+system. This system has been in development for over a year now and has
+been tuned and tweaked over many performances and practice sessions. See
+the documentation and examples for `sample` as well as the new tutorial
+section 3.7 for details.
+
+We also have a number of exciting new samples, synths and FX to play
+with including some beautifully sounding chiptune sounds.
+
+Finally, even more boot issues on both OS X and Windows that have been
+fixed making this the most polished and stable release to date.
