0.7.0-beta.1

What's New

• Experimental Dynamic Rate Matching (off by default) for use with optical USB adapters that deliver audio at the source rate (e.g. 44.1kHz for CDs) despite accepting being opened at 48kHz.
• Selectable input types (Turntable, CD, Line) replace the Turntable switch, with a Sensitivity slider and live level readout.
• Improved playback detection - Clicks, pops and knocks no longer wake the speakers so easily.
• --low-power installer switch for embedded boards where power consumption needs to be limited.
• Various stability improvements

This release is bound to owntone-mini 1.5.0 which has various improvements for AirPlay 2 stereo pairs.

Dial

This is the first production-ready release of the autostream dial, which provides a physical interface to control all autostream appliances on the network. dial can be used with HDMI touchscreens ('HD dial'), smaller DSI touchscreens, or with just a rotary encoder to act as a volume control.

Before you update

• Update appliances and dials together: a 0.7 dial is not supported with a 0.6 appliance.
• The update process includes an OS update and can take a long time on low-power micro-SD equipped boards.
• The autostream update also rebuilds owntone-mini and vibra-mini from source.
• Leave the appliances powered on; they will reboot themselves once done.
