I agree - I ended up backing off a couple of releases (to 6.2.2) which works for me (hooray - but not the point of the email). I use a low powered laptop server (quiet) and a NSLU2 to store the music to drive a slimp3. I have a large (~30-40 k tracks) music library and just cannot tolerate the time to rescan on a NAS. Hence broken releases are a huge pain. I have given up attempting to upgrade, which I did pretty religiously since about v3 (mostly for stability and some functionality).
I would also like to see a more partitioned server, where the user can choose to install a lower footprint functionality. There is only a tiny amount of the functionality that I personally use (basically just playing MP3s and using AlienBBC when that works). It does seem to me like slimserver is getting very bloated and resource hungry. Given the comments from many users, it appears that I am not the only one who wants to run it on a low wattage system rather than a state of the art server. I have tried to make this rant free - there are many on the forum who will instantly claim any criticism (constructive or otherwise) is a rant/troll etc. It isn't. I am merely trying to point out that there is strong support in the user base for a lighter weight slimserver that is fully tested and stable prior to release.
