I've been playing with it the last few weeks, great software and really fun to use. Fantastic timing. Thanks for all the hard work that went into the release.

I'm particularly happy to see keyboard shortcut preferences in the release notes, that's been a real pain point.

Thanking you kindly, sir.

I love the new Link Audio which lets you stream and receive audio on the local network with any other Link Audio capable software such as Ableton Live.

I also like the new QuickStart Cards as a way to get started that doesn’t require reading the built-in tutorial.

I tried it. but the Flatpak seems to be missing some of the documentation.

Apologies but I’m not the maintainer of the Sonic Pi Flatpak.

Instead v5 officially supports AppImage builds.

if you want to attract more userbase that's probably the least meaningful copy-text someone can provide. Not only doesn't even in one sentence what sonic pi v5 is but also doesn't explain whats difference between v4 and v5 - I mean what it means more friendly/accessible/fun really?

Not sure if it’s possible to explain this in one sentence - I was just explaining the goals.

As a summary - friendly as in better autocomplete, better error messages. There are vast accessibility improvements for those with low vision and those that use screen readers. It’s more fun for many reasons but stand out ones are support for game controller input, interactive docs and low-friction QuickStart cards.
