One thing that currently isn't mentioned in the change log is that 7.0 is required if you like to use the newly announced SqueezeBox Duet/Receiver/Controller hardware. Different users will focus on different things in the changelog, so it is hard to tell exactly which ones that will make a difference to you. Some highlights: - Improved integration with SqueezeNetwork - Direct support for several music services such as MP3Tunes, Pandora and Rhapsody - New default skin for web interface (this makes a big difference if you use the web interface) - Support for new hardware SqueezeBox Duet/Receiver/Controller - Improved stability/robustness juniper;258901 Wrote: > > b) When is the formal release now likely to be available to ordinary > non techie users like my goodself? It's required for the new hardware which I think should be available in the stores during January. So I would guess it will be officially released within the next 2 weeks. But this is just a guess, I have no other indication of the release date. juniper;258901 Wrote: > > c) If still some time off - is there any point in downloading 7.0 beta > - following on from a) and b). > It's currently pretty stable, so if you don't have any problem to upgrade again when the final version is released, I would recommend you to try it. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42272 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
