After some misfortune with a previous upgrade (I forget which one, perhaps to 7.4.0?) I was wary of upgrading, and sat at 7.4.1 because I couldn't see anything in the 7.4.2 change log that interested me. I wasn't sure about 7.5.0 either, but wondered whether some of the "various performance improvements and bugfixes" might make things better.
Before upgrading, I used the Control Panel to clean out the cache (which took a while). After that, my usual "scan for new/changed" took over an hour, instead of its usual 8 minutes or so; and I was left with some odd effects (most noticeably, my Receiver disappeared from all but the Info webpage and the Controller); though all seemed well after I'd hibernated the server and turned off the network overnight. After all that, the upgrade to 7.5.0 was trivial, taking all of 5 minutes; and everything seems to be working fine. (One minor problem was that the Controller balked at the installation of its firmware update, but got through it OK once I'd turned it off and on again.) I seem to see a big improvement in the responsiveness of the webiface (though this might be imagined, or could have been due to the cache-wipe, for all I know). I'm pretty certain that the scrolling behaviour of the Controller is now much better - I'm far less likely to overshoot by more than a few artists, for example. All in all, a pleasant surprise. So far! Many thanks to the Logitech team for continuing to support this great stuff. -- Brian Version: 7.5.0 - r30464 @ Thu Apr 1 05:51:56 PDT 2010 Operating system: Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Platform Architecture: 586 Perl Version: 5.10.0 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt Players: Transporter, Receiver, Boom [SB3 in mothballs] -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77054 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
