Roon 1.1 (Build 65) Released!

Hey all!

A new version of Roon has gone live, with a few important bug fixes, along with a couple of new features.

We’ve been hard at work on larger-scale projects like RoonSpeakers, headless Linux builds, improvements to our metadata services, and broadening our audio device streaming support, so this release is mostly focused on resolving bugs and support issues that arose from community feedback. It’s going to be an exciting couple of months ahead as some of these larger projects come to fruition.

For now, we hope everyone is enjoying 1.1, and keeps the feedback coming – as you can see below, many of the major bugs closed for this release were discovered by end users and reported on this forum. If you see something that looks wrong, definitely let us know.

We really appreciate all the kind words, as well as the constructive criticism – even if we don’t respond to every post, we see it all and it drives us to keep making Roon even better!

Thanks everyone!
