Some final message and then not to disturb this thread anymore.
Sorry but I also don't know where to else post an answer now.
Didn't want to hijack this thread.

No it doesn't. But if you don't send "Accept-Encoding:gzip" in your
HTTP-headers you won't get compressed data anyway.

No not needed. I'll submit the update today or tomorrow and anyone
using betas will need to accept that a workaround is needed.

That is the gotcha with Betas - they can break any day and that's why I
will never recommend them to anyone. Myself will also rather suggest
using 7.5.2 if people don't like 7.5.3.

One more suggestion to handle your "we need the community to test"
problem:
If a week before a release you'd announce a release-candidate build or
something similar I might get back into installing such a ersion.
For me (regardless of whether I have the 'user' or 'developer' hat on)
this would be a great advantage:
- I don't have to cope with nightly builds and their possible negative
impact of your nightly commits that only have gone through your own
personal QA.
- I can focus on possible problems in a dedicated timeframe, not every
day.
- I would have more trust in such a version as a release candidate
typically means that the developer QA and maybe even official QA has
been done. Also typically this comes with a feature freeze - and any
new change needs to be peer reviewed.
- Along with the people that will still run nightlies I guess even more
people (like me) would be willing to install a release candidate than a
nightly. So you get even better QA from the community before the
version goes out to any user out there in the Squeezbox universe.
