+## Version 3.3.0 - 'Beam'
+28th Jan, 2021
+[(view commits)](https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/commits/v3.3.0):
+
+Ten months of development, over 700 individual commits, loving
+contributions from many many people have gone into this new version of
+Sonic Pi. This release is also the result of a 3 month long community
+beta process which took place over on
+[Patreon](https://patreon.com/samaaron) where supporters got access
+to early releases and really helped polish and shape development. Huge
+thanks to everyone that has supported continued development. We're
+really excited and proud to share this new release with you all.
+
+In terms of significant changes, there have been many internal
+improvements, including a full rewrite of our MIDI subsystem. This
+shouldn't result in much change as a user (although some MIDI cue names
+might have changed slightly) but it really sets us up for some exciting
+developments in the future. We're essentially moving much more of the
+core input/output functionality of Sonic Pi into a special system called
+the BEAM and a language called [Erlang](https://www.erlang.org). This is
+a system that has a strong emphasis on low latency, low jitter and high
+concurrency which is exactly what the IO of a music system requires!
+We're so excited to see what we'll be able to achieve with this new
+approach that the BEAM features as the codename of this release.
+
+Another area that has seen a lot of love and attention is our strong
+focus on accessibility. We now have a much improved menu bar which
+essentially duplicates much of the functionality found in the
+preferences but in a format that's extremely easy to work with via a
+screen reader. We've also added a new context pane that displays the
+current line and character position as a direct result of a
+collaboration with Leiden University's accessibility group. There have
+already been numerous studies that are reporting success for blind and
+low-vision users of Sonic Pi - so we're confident we're on the right
+track with respect to accessibility. We're also not stopping here and are
+always looking for ways to lower the many barriers to entry for creative
+experiences with code for everyone.
+
+This is also the first release where we officially welcome Chris Maughan
+as the latest member of the Sonic Pi core team. Chris has made
+significant contributions over the last year including improvements to
+the scope and a complete reworking of our build process. I hope you join
+us in welcoming Chris to the team.
+
+Finally, we have official support for macOS Big Sur, some lovely new
+synths and FX, improved translations, support for advanced configuration
+(audio and colour theming), new Turkish scales and many, many bug fixes
+and improvements.
+
+We really hope you love this version of Sonic Pi as much as we do.
+
+Happy Live Coding!
 
 
 ### Breaking Changes
 * MIDI port description names may be slightly different from previous versions. Precise matches on MIDI ports via `sync` and `get` will have to be updated accordingly.
+* Incoming MIDI cues now no longer include clock tick events. Optionally re-enabling these and new ways of working with incoming timing systems will feature in a future release.
