Today, I’m writing you to **thank you for being part of the Mp3tag community!** I've loved every minute of working on Mp3tag over the past year and I hope you’ve enjoyed working with it too 🙂
Highlights this year were adding a [portable installation mode](https://docs.mp3tag.de/getting-started/release-notes/#mp3tag-v281), extending Mp3tag’s core to [work with chapters](https://docs.mp3tag.de/getting-started/release-notes/#mp3tag-v284) and adding [support for Matroska](https://docs.mp3tag.de/getting-started/release-notes/#mp3tag-v285). I’ve also fixed many issues and added other tweaks via the 5 releases during the year. **It’s my hope that in the process Mp3tag got better for you too.**
Mp3tag also has a new server since November (octa-core 💥), which now handles all the traffic on the main site, our forums here and the Discogs image cache. It’s super-fast!
I’m also **very grateful for all of you who supported me and my project with a [donation](http://www.mp3tag.de/en/donations.html?utm_source=forums&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=holidays2017)** (or even multiple donations!). It's awesome that you’re caring and it feels very good to be backed by a crowd! Thank you whole-heartedly. 💛
If you’re still on the edge (or simply want to go for it again) now it’s a good time. Any amount is welcome
– [Your support matters](http://www.mp3tag.de/en/donations.html?utm_source=forums&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=holidays2017).
I’m already working on the next release of Mp3tag. It comes with a new Library feature, which speeds up reading tags for huge libraries and is more memory-efficient. If you feel adventurous over the holidays, you can get the latest beta version from [http://developer.mp3tag.de](http://developer.mp3tag.de)
Most importantly, I’m wishing you a **Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a healthy and inspiring New Year 2018**.
See you soon! Until then, **enjoy and take care**
– Florian
