Updates occur regularly, but rarely on a daily basis. The change log for 7.9 is quite lengthy should you read it.
I'd rather say, they keep the server alive. I'd call it maintenance mode...The server runs rock-stable since years.
That has been my experience for the past seven years. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
On these devices a pretty outdated LMS might not be the bleeding edge package.
As an IT developer who understands the challenges, I prefer the stability and refinement of slightly "trailing edge" products. Works seamlessly with the microRendu player which took my system performance up a couple of notches. :)
And make that PC a server.
Agreed. In that regard, I'm kinda old school. I've maintained a desktop computer for over twenty years for both business and pleasure. While I have a business laptop, I prefer the lower cost, expandability and ease of using multiple monitor setups with desktops. Actually, mine lives inside the desk and runs 24/7.
I do, however, have a company laptop that I take upstairs to record vinyl rips using Audacity and an HRT Line Streamer.

One more.
What I meant with bleeding edge is the latest LMS 7.9.0 build.
Many commercial devices run much older LMS versions.
And that certainly leads to a lack of features like e.g. DoP support.
I read it.
7.9.0 exists for years !!!
Am I surprised to see a bunch of updates/new functions??
Of course not. I follow all the stuff pretty closely.
The point is that the OP should understand the background of nightly builds.
Two dozen features / enhancements were added along with a slightly greater number of bugs fixed.
Continuity and refinement is a good thing. :)
