Hi All,
We have a new release going live today full of improvements to search, backup, localization, and more, along with a number of stability improvements and performance enhancements.
We’ve seen how much effort Roon users have put into Art Director, and as the pool of available artist images improve, work continues to ensure they look their best in Roon. We have a number of performance improvements and changes included in this release, and more on the way.
We’ve also done extensive investigation into some recent playback issues with TIDAL content. While the issue appears to be related to Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) outside of Roon’s infrastructure, we believe our strategy for mitigating this issue should make playback significantly more stable for affected customers.
With a number of projects in the pipeline, both big and small, we’re looking forward to 2022 being the best year yet for Roon!
Thanks all!
The Team At Roon Labs
