March 27 2025 – AbracaDABra 3.1.0

Petr Kopecký has just released AbracaDABra 3.1.0 with quite a few new features.
You can download AbracaDABra 3.1.0 from Petr’s Github release page.
Petr welcomes your feedback and bug reports on his Github issues page.

AbracaDABra 3.1.0 is not backward compatible from 2.9.2: you will lose the service list and audio recording schedule! It is therefore recommended to backup your current application settings.
Check out C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\AbracaDABra.
No worries if you upgrade from 3.0.0.
