Since taking over the development of the free Radio Station plugin in June 2019, we've made massive improvements to every aspect of the project. Two years later, we released the Pro version and have continued to update and improve both versions, adding innovative features as we go.
The below table is a simplified overview to help keep track of all the major different features in Free and Pro, both those that we've added already and planned upcoming features. (If you want to contribute ideas or suggestions, please do so by opening a Github Issue.)
If you are interested in testing cutting edge features in development for this next release, read about Installing the Development Version and Pro Beta Version Testing.
For minor release notes, see the Radio Station Changelog (Note: The Radio Station Pro changelog can be found in the plugin's readme.txt)
