UPDATE: Roon 1506 contained a bug that has been addressed under 1507 ( notes)
Hey Everyone,
This update brings improved usability and key stability fixes to Roon and ARC. On Roon, we’ve improved scrolling on mobile, restored missing Focus options, and resolved playback issues with KEF speakers and internet radio streams. ARC now shows album added dates, improves battery and GPU efficiency, and delivers better connectivity and stability. Overall, we’ve squashed various bugs, fixed crashes, and improved the experience across Roon & ARC.
With this release, we’re also introducing a refined versioning system for better tracking and organization. Roon 2.0.47 is now Roon 2.47.1506, and ARC 1.0.63 is now ARC 1.63.340. The last set of numbers in each version represents the specific build of the release, ensuring greater clarity and consistency for future updates.
iOS Roon and ARC builds will come later.
Please keep the feedback coming and let us know how you’re getting along.
The Team at Roon Labs
