Question: My server (MacBook Pro) has LMS v7.7.3 which I think is latest official version from Logitech.
Correct.
My MacBook Air has v7.8. Is this a beta? Or did one of the former Squeezebox programmers do this?
I'm still a Logitech employee :-).
Are the servers diverging in functionality, quality, etc.
7.8 has some improvements which are not in 7.7.x (yet). 7.7.x mostly gets bug fixes and changes to keep up with new platforms (eg. OSX 10.9).
Some of the changes in 7.8 have slightly experimental character (eg. in-built image proxy, new podcast implementation etc. - to make LMS less dependent on mysb.com), as well as improvements which are not strictly bugs in 7.7 (some performance tweaks). Some of these changes later make it to the official 7.7 branch.
What are pro's and con's of these two versions?
7.7.3 - stable, little changes (7.7.2 was there as the latest and greatest for more than a year). Official support (if this can be considered a pro is questionable, but some like it).
7.8.0 - is the latest and greatest, with some nice additions, but at the risk of being broken every now and then. It's pretty stable in general. And it's in eternal beta mode (for those who care).
What's the story?
