As indicated in the '7.8 official release plans' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?100759-7-8-official-release-plans&p=769678&viewfull=1#post769678) thread there seems to be some interest for an official community release of LMS 7.8.0. To be able to achieve this, we all need to spend some time testing the latest 7.8.0 beta version.
The latest 7.8.0 beta can as always be found here: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.8 For people who aren't sure which areas to focus testing on, here is the changes between 7.7.x and 7.8.0 beta version: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/blob/public/7.8/Changelog7.html And a description on what they mean are available in the following post: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?100759-7-8-official-release-plans&p=769683&viewfull=1#post769683 To get a feeling if people really run tests on the LMS 7.8 beta version, I would suggest that people try to post their test results in this thread. Basically if someone has run some tests post some brief information about which areas you have tested and if it worked or if you found some critical bugs. If you find some critical bug register it at http://bugs.slimdevices.com and post a link to the registered bug in this thread so the rest of us know that it has already been registered and can confirm if we also see the same problem or not. We know there are are a lot of minor bugs in the system, so let's focus the effort on finding critical ones which you feel have to be fixed to be able to release 7.8.0 as an official community release. When you register a new bug make sure to select: - Product: Logitech Media Server - Version: 7.8.0 This way it's easy for the community developers to find it. All registered open bugs on Logitech Media Server product during 2014 can be found using the following query: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/buglist.cgi?f1=creation_ts&order=Bug%20Number&list_id=52689&columnlist=bug_severity%2Cpriority%2Cop_sys%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_status%2Cresolution%2Ctarget_milestone%2Cshort_desc&o1=greaterthan&query_format=advanced&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&v1=2013-12-31&product=Logitech%20Media%20Server If you try to re-produce a specific bug someone else have found and can't reproduce it, it's probably a good idea to add a comment in the bug report saying that you weren't able to reproduce it. If you are able to reproduce an existing bug, click the "vote" link on the bug report and it will be an indication to the community developers that it's something multiple people can confirm. The complete list of bugs which have currently been reported for version 7.8.0 is the following: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/buglist.cgi?order=Bug%20Number&columnlist=bug_severity%2Cpriority%2Cop_sys%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_status%2Cresolution%2Ctarget_milestone%2Cshort_desc&query_format=advanced&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&version=7.8.0&product=Logitech%20Media%20Server The list of open bugs in 7.7.x is the following: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&order=Bug%20Number&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&version=7.7.0&version=7.7.1&version=7.7.2&version=7.7.3&version=7.7.4&columnlist=bug_severity%2Cpriority%2Cop_sys%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_status%2Cresolution%2Ctarget_milestone%2Cshort_desc&product=Logitech%20Media%20Server For people not reading the other thread, please keep in mind that this is a community effort and not an official Logitech effort, so let's try to keep a positive climate and avoid complaining on people who are willing to contribute either as testers or developers.
