The LTS releases are still a big deal, so expect to see lots of orange in our May 2020 issue. Since those long-term releases are shaped by these interstitial ones, they should definitely not be ignored. With that in mind, we’ve extended our DVD pages slightly to give you a glimpse into what’s new and what the ‘Disco Dingo’ can do for you.
