 This README file tells you how to run the native Windows implmentation of
 seq66, an executable named qpseq66.exe.  It provides some notes on Seq66 and
 Windows.  We mostly use Windows 10; some features might differ in Windows 7 or
 Windows 2012+ Server.
 
+Release 0.99.7 fixes known issues and greatly enhances playlist support, and
+includes a Windows-specific sample play-list file in "data/win"..
+
 There will eventually be a portable ZIP package for qpseq66; an NSIS-based
 installer is available (replace "0.99" with the latest version number):
