SlimDevices is proud to announce a maintenance release of SlimServer 6.0.1

As always, available for download (and Torrent) via http://www.slimdevices.com/download

--------------------

ChangeLog for 6.0.1:

Squeezebox2 Firmware:

* Added support for WEP open system authentication (previously, we only did shared key).

* Fixes for BEFW11S4 v4 and Netgear MR814 v2 access points.

* Fixes for WEP on BEF11S4v2

* Support Ad-hoc wireless.

* Turned off global debugging. Leaving it on (an oversight) could cause
performance problems, including the "crunchy" audio when there was a
large amount of network activity while playing FLAC.

* Fix: blank screen after server disconnect.

* Fix: client-side animations weren't using the correct screen size when we had side visualizers.

Usability:

* Don't include composers during searches unless you've changed the settings to.

* Don't try to shuffle remote streams - as they won't have a distinct Album.

* We weren't adding COMPOSER, CONDUCTOR, etc to the title format, which we used to do in 5.4

iTunes:

* If iTunes is available, turn it on by default.

* If a user moved their iTunes Music Folder, we still had stale information in the database.
Rescan, and pull the correct Music Folder path from the .XML file.

Formats:

* Updated 'sox' on OSX to be statically linked for Ogg usage.

* Monkey's Audio: Use mac.exe v3.99 that properly supports stdout.

SoftSqueeze:

* Fix for Java 1.4 users (OSX mostly) - that prevented SoftSqueeze from being usable.

Skins:

* Fixes for Fishbone & ExBrowse2

Known Issues:

* Large playlists can't be saved: bug #1266

* On some systems (Windows mostly), files with accented characters are not scanned: bug #1226

* Wipe Cache often causes incorrect listsings. Restarting the server should clear it up.
