Erland,

thanks a lot for yet another great posting!

I'll try to add my notes to some of the changes:

   - Re-implement Podcast plugin to support all players. Allow resuming
     a podcast you partially listened to before.

Unfortunately not all podcasts come with length information. Thus the resume feature doesn't work with all of them.

   - Modify Internet Radio integration to work independently from
     mysb.com if needed.

That's a bit difficult to test. It's probably easiest to (temporarily) add an entry to your hosts file which points mysb.com to digital nirvana. Even better if you have a router with some advanced firmware which allows you to override some DNS entries. While this will break many other features, it'll allow you to verify the radio menu is still working withou mysb.com.

   - A new generic image resizing proxy is now built in to LMS. It can
     be used instead of the
                image proxy hosted on mysqueezebox.com, or independently by
     plugins to eg. resize artwork
                local to your network (and therefore not reachable by the remote
     proxy).

This actually isn't easy to test in an "artificial" test. But I think those users running my Music & Artist Information plugin already give that feature a pretty good test ride ;-). Plus the new Radio menu is already using the local image proxy by default. Enabling debugging for artwork.imageproxy could give you more information in case you were in doubt about its working.

   - '#8180' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8180) -
     Squeezecenter prevents user logout after restart
   - '#17729' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17729) - On
     Linux SBS 7.4.1 and above: service cannot be stopped or restarted
     after an 'internal' restart

This is another odd-ball. While one of these changes seems to have "fixed" this issue for some users, it's now broken for some others. This seems to heavily depend on the Linux distribution, perl version, whatever.

   - Don't submit disc number with album names when scrobbling to
     last.fm

You'll need to disable "group multiple discs albums" to see this defect.

I'm not sure if community developers prefer that we report bugs in
http://bugs.slimdevices.com or if we should just report them in the
"beta" section of the forum.

I would definitely prefer using bugzilla. It allows for better sorting & filtering etc. Please use the "Logitech Media Server" product. We can then target issues we want to fix in 7.8 with this target.

Maybe we should rename this thread to remove the question mark :-). I'll be happy to help wherever I can.
