Roon 2.0.19 and ARC 1.0.40 are live!

Hello Everyone,

With this release, the Roon team is proud to share some exhilarating news:

Roon now supports KKBOX, the most influential social-audio brand in Asia, to introduce a new world of music possibilities - with over 40 million lossless tracks in various languages including Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, and English. etc. Roon listeners now have access to an immense library across genres such as K-Pop, J-Rock, and Japanese Nu-Jazz. KKBOX integration demonstrates Roon’s dedication to providing its customers with access to the largest and most diverse selection of lossless music and delivers an enhanced music discovery and streaming experience to music lovers in Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

This release is focused on KKBOX integration, but there are additional hotfixes and stability improvements for several issues reported by the Community listed in the changelog below.
