C: "<p>Grab some hot chocolate and curl up with a nice podcast this winter\n season, it's time for a new Vocal
release! This time around, enjoy\n a ton of stability and performance enhancements, full HiDPI support, \n and
other bug fixes to make your experience as enjoyable as possible.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Added HiDPI support for all images
so everything looks nice and\n\t sharp no matter how fancy your display is.</li>\n <li>Fixed an issue where
Vocal would not show you the time elapsed\n\t or remaining in an episode immediately after relaunching the app.</li>\n
\ <li>Reduced the animation time for switching between different\n\t views so that it feels extra snappy.</li>\n
\ <li>Gave the search results view a shave and a haircut. Two bits.</li>\n <li>Fixed a few issues where Vocal would
be grouchy about\n\t showing certain episode descriptions.</li>\n <li>When importing several podcasts the progress
bar now stays\n\t one size so you can actually judge the progress correctly.</li>\n <li>You can now drag and
drop items in the play queue to rearrange\n\t their order.</li>\n <li>Lots more checking to make sure that things
exist so it won't\n\t crash nearly as much (hopefully never).</li>\n</ul>"
