There is a principle: if it isn't broken, don't fix it.

But there are many reasons to update to Rivendell 2:

- If you have a big library of audios, the users can search a lot faster in
RdAirPLay and RdLibrary, because of the options to limit the results to 100
first audios.
- You can store the audios with compression (MPEG Layer 2), saving storage.
- You can share /var/snd as a read-only folder (more security).
- New capabilities in the Now & Next modules.
- Qt3 is becoming deprecated in many distributions. Rivendell 3 will use
Qt4. So, if you plan to update your operative system in one or two years,
installing Rivendell 1.xx will be harder, maybe requiring to compile Qt3
libraries from the source code.
- Many bugfixes.
- The spanish translation is better ;)
- As far as I know, Rivendell 1.7.2 will not be updated anymore (only if
Fred finds a big problem).
