Yep, this was probably the shortest release cycle in a long time. But I
decided to push it a bit to make this Holiday season release 8.1.0. What
has changed since the recent '8.0 release'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113282)? Besides bug
fixes which there's:
- Support for Deezer lossless (FLAC) streaming
- Improvements to the transcoding framework to allow protocol handlers
to enforce transcoding (eg. TIDAL lossless)
- Support for macOS 11 Big Sur and Apple Silicon (M1 CPU - using
Rosetta)
- Optionally allow installation of plugins which were targeted at
Logitech Media Server 7.*
Other important changes are the removal of the ReadyNAS NV/Duo/Pro
devices, and Perl 5.8 in general. We actually broke Perl 5.8
compatibility somewhere around LMS 7.9.3. These platforms haven't been
working correctly since then. Removing them thus doesn't really change
anything. ReadyNAS users please note: this is really only about the old,
legacy, generation 1/2 Raidiator v4 based devices. Any recent ReadyNAS
unit, which was based on Debian, should still continue to work as
before. Good or bad.
The more complete 'Changelog can be found here'
(http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/blob/public/8.1/Changelog8.html).
Thanks again to all the contributors, in particular Philippe_44, who's
tirelessly ironing out streaming & transcoding issues we're facing with
TIDAL and https.
Free the music!
