Hello Everyone,
This is a rare Friday release in order to provide all of you with the hotfixes that we pushed to production earlier this week. These specifically address ongoing ARC connectivity issues and library content disappearing under certain circumstances.
The delay in pushing these fixes to Early Access has to do with an issue with the .NET6 implementation on Windows breaking automatic updates. While we are working to fix this problem we do not yet have the final work complete and through QA. Rather than hold up everyone we are releasing with the following caveat for those with cores or remotes on Windows:
- Your windows core or remote WILL NOT update automatically from the server nor will you be presented with an update prompt in Roon
- To take this update you will need to download the installer from the links provided below and reinstall on top of your existing intallation
- You do not need to do anything else here – just download the installer from this link and install it manually
We plan to issue another Early Access build on Monday (on our usual schedule) and it is possible that we won’t have this update issue corrected by then. If that’s the case then that update will need to be installed in a similar way and we will provide links and instructions at that time.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Team at Roon Labs
