Mr sinatra there is perhaps a misunderstanding about the role of the nightly releases - 6.5.1 at the moment. It's a place where small, safe fixes are applied beyond the official release - this is what allows slim to be incredibly responsive to bug fixes and minor enhancements. If they put every "important" fix into a separate formal release, they'd spend all their time regression testing and we'd never get the new stuff! So don't be shy, have a go at 6.5.1. Its at http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/6.5/ If you are running 6.5.0 at present, the upgrade is straightforward, just stop slimserver and install over the top. don't forget to let it finish any rescan it does before giving it a hard time. Then let the developers know whether things are any better for you...
