The release notes include the firmware changes, and what they fix / change, for example:-
Version 7.4.0 - 2009-09-28 Firmware updates: Boom - Version 50 Squeezebox 2/3 - Version 130 Transporter - Version 80 Receiver - Version 65 #4834 - (Transporter) After switching to digital input device will not play music without a complete reset (3rd time's the charm?) #11078 - Wired-only Classics can flood the network with broadcast packets Allow players in a sync group to move between servers while remaining in the same sync group. Scanner: The file format scanning modules have been completely rewritten in C as a standalone module with comprehensive unit tests. This reduces memory usage, improves scanning speed, and fixes many bugs. Seeking in WMA files is now supported. Seeking in VBR MP3 files is now more accurate. System integration: New Control Panel for Windows, Console for Windows Home Server and Preference Pane for OSX as a shortcut to common activities Preset Changes: Boom/IR presets are no longer associated with Favorites, and each player now has a separate preset list. When upgrading, any presets set within Favorites will be migrated to every player. Presets are now synced with mysqueezebox.com (Favorites are still not synced). Presets can no longer be set via the 'favorites add' command. For more information, please see bug #13248.
