Hello Everyone,
We’ve been working hard to address all of the feedback we’ve gotten since the last Early Access release and want to share our progress with you. While most of the changes relate to the downloads functionality in ARC, we do have a number of new bug fixes which address issues that have arisen since the last production release.
You can find a complete list of changes below and, as always, please let us know if you run into any issues.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Team at Roon Labs
