Is There a New version of Logitech Media Server?


I noticed a messsage on my music server yesterday indicating a new version of Logitech Media Server was available. Have not had a chance to investigate further yet.

That surprised me in that Logitech no longer produces Squeezebox clients for the server and I had not noticed any updates available for quite a while.

So is this a legit update? Who is supporting the server these days and doing updates? Logitech still?

If anyone knows anything about this, please chime in.

Thanks.

Logitech Media Server 7.7.3 released

Who would have thought?... We just released version 7.7.3 of the Logitech Media Server software. This is a minor update with most important changes for OSX users:

Improved OSX support: new signed installer, 64-bit preference pane, improved power management handling, support for the upcoming OSX 10.9
Support for Linux versions running Perl 5.16
Improved radio station artwork handling
Fixed several issues with caches
Fixed a memory leak
Several minor bug fixes

See the full changelog for more details.

The latest LMS 7.7.3 files can be grabbed from mysqueezebox.com (or downloads.slimdevices.com)
In fairness, I think it should be pointed out that it was a single person who reported problems at AA. Another person there updated without any problems. I don't think there has ever been a software program created that didn't have an issue for someone, somewhere. Note all of the prior versions are still available and it is easy to revert back to an earlier version if you don't get the results you expect.
I have 3 SB's and yesterday they pushed an updated version to my server when I arrived home from travel.

Version 7.7.3 with a build date of Mon, Aug 12, 2013

I am unable to tell you if any functionality changed or not, since I haven't fooled with it yet. Don't know if this helps you or not.
