+# Welcome to xSTUDIO - v1.1.0
 
 xSTUDIO is a media playback and review application designed for professionals working in the film and TV post production industries, particularly the Visual Effects and Feature Animation sectors. xSTUDIO is focused on providing an intuitive, easy to use interface with a high performance playback engine at its core and C++ and Python APIs for pipeline integration and customisation for total flexibility.
 
+This codebase will build version 1.0.0 (alpha) of xstudio. There are some known issues that are currently being worked on:
+
+* Moderate audio distortion on playback (Windows only)
+* Ueser Documentation and API Documentation is badly out-of-date.
+* Saved sessions might not restore media correctly (Windows only)
+
 ## Building xSTUDIO

 ### Documentation Note
 
-Note that the xSTUDIO user guide is built with Sphinx using the Read-The-Docs theme and API documentation is auto-generated using the Breathe plugin for Sphinx. The package dependencies for building the docs can be challenging to build/obtain/install so we instead include the fully built docs as part of xSTUDIO's repo, as well as the source for building the docs. Our build set-up by default disables the building of the docs to make life easy!

 Run the first cmake command to set-up for building. Note that this cmake command ***may take several hours to complete***. This is because xSTUDIO's dependencies (particularly ffmpeg) take a long time to download and build from the source code, which is what VCPKG is doing.
