Hello Everyone,
Our latest update represents a major step forward in performance, with changes designed to ensure a smoother, more responsive experience across both Roon and ARC.
For Roon, we’ve implemented major system-wide performance upgrades aimed at boosting startup speed, import efficiency, and overall responsiveness to ensure a seamless experience as you browse and play your music.
This release also includes a number of bug fixes for Roon, including fixes for issues related to sorting on the artist page and Roon’s ability to properly link recommended content back to your library. Elsewhere, we’ve resolved issues related to media source synchronization and the use of secondary displays.
Turning our attention to ARC, this update also brings a series of performance improvements designed to ensure smooth operation even across connectivity changes. This release also includes a number of other bug fixes and improvements to ensure a more stable, efficient, and enjoyable experience on the go!
Thank you for your continued support,
The Team at Roon Labs
