Maintenance Report: Serato DJ

Stability was a focus for the Serato DJ 1.7.2 Public Beta. We know it's what you need to rely on when you're in the club, on the radio, at your mates party or even in your bedroom.

We've squashed a lot of bugs in this release. Thank you to everyone who has participated so far in the Serato DJ beta. You're helping us make this a solid release and we love you for it! We're constantly working through beta feedback as well so if your issue is not resolved currently, it's important to report in the area so we can catch it before the beta period ends :)

If you're not already aware, Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) is going to be supported in this release. We're asking all users who have already updated to try out this update and give us your feedback.

Here's a full list of changes and bug fixes in this update so far.
