Roon 1.8 dropped today. I’m enjoying the fresh look and new features so far...
The “changelog” link inside the apps redirects here:is there a changelog somewhere?
I just upgraded and my Android Roon is complaining about "unexpected library error" and "limiting to radio."
At least on iOS, updating and running the controller app triggers the core update. It does seem unusual, though I guess it sort of makes sense in this instance.Android Roon has been broken for me for months. Hopefully it starts to work now.
Apparently, you are supposed to update the apps *before* updating the core. What a weird thing to tell your customers.

I'm enjoying it so far. The new Android interface is great. Slow loading metadata at present, but this is down to high usage of servers and should be rectified shortly, apparently. I must admit that I do use Roon in a rather conservative way - one album, played from beginning to end and occasional use of Roon Radio. If they messed that up, it really would have been "Goodnight Vienna"!
I’ve never actually tried this. You have me curious now. Bummer that it’s not working properly...OK- they have f**cked up the best feature of Roon . Full library shuffle. I have around 5000 albums/ 50000 tracks in my library. In 1.7 and previous hitting Shuffle in the album/ track views would start what appeared to be a pretty good shuffle from all corners of my collection.
Now, it seems to pick the first 5000 tracks from whichever view you have it in (so , for albums -date added- newest, it will pick the first 5000 tracks from the newest added 500 or so albums and shuffle those). This is something of a problem for me. Ditto if you sort by Artist name it will barely get into the "B" before it taps out.
How on earth do they expect this to throw up gems from the oldest parts of my library (or indeed, artists in the "middle" of the alphabet)?

Also, roon radio no longer seems to include tracks from streaming unless they are already in your library.
