This may be age old info for most forum members (don't read further). The n.n.*x* beta as in for example 7.6.1 is usually the safe bugfix beta, or has been historically (this seems to crumble a bit lately).
The n.x.(x) beta is very experimental and may not work at all in periods (here be dragons ) as is in 7.7 at the moment . This is how it used to work, hopefully they try to keep this distinction. as it usually makes .1 release a better choice than the .0 release the .0 is historically the worst . As soon as 7.6.1 is release, their will be 7.6.2 beta for further safe bugfixes and possibly 7.6.3 or more versions until a decision to release something from 7.7 comes around. They usually want to surprise us with a new service or function with each new .0 release and they have deadlines so a bunch of very late additions goes to the .0 release with little time to test ? So this desire for a positive new feature can backfire. The messy part is the mysqueezebox.com interaction which i try to avoid by using my own server, they simply don't have resources to support several different version on mysb.com. I think it would be technically possible to let mysb.com run different versions depending on player fw at least for example from 7.5.0 and forward, but it would require more people to maintain . I have an uneasy feeling that the servers are maintained by the same 2 devs we see here on the forum ? They may rent the actual hardware and connection to the internet from data-centers ,but still the software must be maintained. Just as they are running the build servers for the software too ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
