Hello Everyone,
The primary purpose of this build is to make sure that this group has access to some last-minute changes which were recently released to the production branch. This update mainly focuses on resolving regressions in Android Auto and CarPlay functionalities, ensuring a smoother experience for all users.
In addition, we’ve made a series of improvements to localized metadata functionality and continue to iterate toward release. For Windows users running the .NET6 framework, we’ve addressed the issue with automated updates but you will need to perform one last manual update to get the new code. After that automatic updates should return to their normal state.
Note: The firewall exception issue for the latest Windows builds running .NET6 is still being addressed.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Team at Roon Labs
