RE: LMS 7.9 Large library scanning improvement?

I'm running 7.9 - nigthly builds - pretty much since it came up long time (a year??) ago.

It's IMO dead stable.

On Debian/Ubuntu Systems just get the Debian package file (.deb) and install it.

On several ARM Systems go for Squeeze On Arch (SOA)

On SOA the LMS (most parts of it) will be compiled from sources on your ARM machine!! It can take a while (couple of hours) to get it installed. However. From a performance perspective it's always better to get your apps compiled on your particular HW, on your particular OS and your compiler (matches Gentoo philosophy).
I'm running SOA with LMS 7.9 on a Cubitruck (Sata/2GB Ram/GB Ethernet/Dual Core/@100$ €) and I'm more than happy.


The changelog has been posted already.

My favorites:
* Database handling and overall performance got improved.
* Community patches got introduced (Triode - DSD for squeezelite clients)


Cheers
