Hi everyone!
We’ve spent the last week looking into some of the more elusive issues that have cropped up since Roon 1.3 went live, and Build 203 is now rolling out to all platforms with those changes.
This build contains a fix for a tricky hang we identified in our new search index, which was causing some installations to crash or hang during startup.
We also did some performance tuning on MacOS and Linux, which may help with audio dropouts and responsiveness, particularly for people with large libraries or slower machines.
A few other fixes were also completed this week, and they are listed below. Thanks everyone!
Note: a regression related to linked playback in Build 203 has now been fixed in Build 204.
Build 204 has not been released for mobile platforms, which remain on 203 for now pending App Store approval.
