Hi everyone!

With Roon 1.3 largely stable for the vast majority of users, we are looking ahead as we continue to investigate some of the more elusive issues we’ve been hearing about.

A number of recent reports have been reproduced in house, and fixes are rolling out in today’s release. The full list of changes is below.

That should do it for today’s maintenance release. Thanks everyone!
