Editing FastTracker 2 (section)

=== Discontinuation ===
The last stable release of FastTracker 2 was version 2.08, released in August 1997. A newer version 2.09 was under test as [[closed beta]] and became [[Internet leak|available]] to the public by [[Andreas Viklund]]'s website in 1999.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19991009225417/http://www.energymusic.com/andreas/software.html software] on [[Andreas Viklund]]'s website (on internet archive)</ref> This version had a few new usability additions, such as the possibility to exit previously "stuck" windows by only using the mouse, but broke support for the Gravis Ultrasound card. While not an official release it was made later available also from Starbreeze's website.<ref name=leak/>

On May 23, 1999, Starbreeze productions announced on their website that ''"FT2 [[End-of-life (product)|has been put on hold indefinitely]]. [...] If this was an ideal world, where there was infinite time and no need to make a living, there would definitely be a [[Cross platform|multiplatform]] Fasttracker3. Unfortunately this world is nothing like that,"'' signed by Vogue.<ref name=ft3>{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010628033251/http://www.metamacro.com/fast3/home.html |url=http://www.metamacro.com/fast3/home.html |title=FastTracker 3 homepage |archive-date=2001-06-28 |access-date=2012-01-31 |author=BakTery |url-status=dead }}</ref>
