SQLite is freakin' awesome in 7.6, and it seems like the latest nightlies are stable right now. I'm running on some pretty shaky hardware (Squeezeplug), but if you're on Linux or Windows, I don't see any reason not to go to 7.6. Where is that Wiki/link that shows the features 8.0 is supposed to

IMHO 7.6 as it is now (sans bugs) is the biggest step forward since I use the SB so I find it rather important. I mainly care about SQLite and the new artwork handling. Ok and maybe UPnP, not yet sure. I don't believe what's currently targeted for 8.0 will ever come (from Logitech) since it doesn
