Bugzilla – Bug 6492
Missing SBC firmware release notes
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:23:53 UTC
It is easy to find hw comparison, but not sw firmware release notes. Would be nice after a "silent" fw update
see checkins, changelog, etc. not a bug. chris, probably not valid (ie another example of wasting dev time doing support stuff), but maybe you want to do something with this. so, I'll leave it open.
First, Sorry for my brief and not unambiguous style. Hi I found slimserver changelog: http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html However I did not find squeezebox changelog. I expected to be here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?Squeezebox3rdGeneration For example is latest sw fix the box power down bug, when connection lost to slimserver? I had to remove the cable today as well to make it happen. Radio played further instead of standby or squeezebox restarted, but I just want to pause, in fact power down the device. If there is no stop for stream, but only pause is possible (which would be nice to recover even when slimserver is lost before the next play) remove the power button from the remote. At least display some feedback on the box that user action is in progress. Sorry, but my time is more valuable than wasting after each download for checking the bugs for correction. I could read bugzilla and release note though. Also version number of box firmware is available to compare. I have only few days before I return the device and I plan to write an internal review already today. Thanks for comment, but please use exact links if you suggest that the complain I did is not valid or feature is exist and available. Otherwise it hard to take your comments seriously. (V)
SqueezeCenter (SlimServer) release notes can seen here: http://www.slimdevices.com/su_changelog.html (release products) While beta release notes can been seen here: http://svn.slimdevices.com/*checkout*/trunk/server/Changelog7.html However, as the reporter points out, there is no Easily Accessible Web Link to the Firmware Change log. Dean, is th is something we should look at adding?
The Squeezebox (2/3/Receiver) firmware release notes should be included with the SqueezeCenter release notes, as those two go out together. The Squeezebox Controller release notes should be available elsewhere and updated when we push out a new release of that firmware. Are we up-to-date now, guys?
I'm not sure that I'm the right assignee for this bug... should this be a change to the 'Status' page in SC so that when it lists someones firmware version, it links them to a document somewhere that describes the firmwares changes?
Who takes care of the rest of our release notes? Marketing now?
The notes are still in SC, and engineering is still responsible for maintaining them. Felix: Can you verify that the IP3K release notes are correct for 7.0.1? Richard: Can you do the same for SBC?
I do think that the release notes should probably move to the wiki eventually, but let's get them updated in the current location first.
IP3K release notes are correct for 7.0.1.
Richard: are the release notes current for SBC fw?
Ben are you the right person to update the SBC fw release notes for 7.1?
I've never been tasked with it, but it certainly makes sense that I should be. Personally, I'd like to immediately quit mucking with documentation in obscure locales and move it to the wiki now. Objections?
Also, I should note that I have no idea where the SBC firmware release notes are, or even if they exist. Can someone supply a pointer to them?
I don't think there are any.
svn log
I have no objection to placing the notes in the wiki
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlay7.1ReleaseNotes
This bug has now been fixed in the 7.1 release version of SqueezeCenter! Please download the new version from http://www.slimdevices.com if you haven't already. If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
