Hey Everyone,

This release follows the iOS-only release we did earlier this week. After noticing battery drain with CarPlay, our dev team revisited the Android Auto integration. The result was a couple of performance improvements which can reduce memory usage when using Android Auto.

Thank you for being part of our testing community!

_The Team at Roon Labs_
