What is new in version 1.6:

Version 1.6 includes a completely new, web based, console. It's now much easier to configure your server from wherever you are, and it also scales well on all your screen sizes (tablets, phones, etc). You can access the console either by running the executable (as usual), or by opening the console web page (http://localhost:23423/console). As a part of this change we have also removed the system tray icon.

What is new in version 1.5.2:

This 1.5.2 version mostly focuses on fixing the automatic library updates, especially where the poller is enforced.

What is new in version 1.5.1:

This brings mostly stability fixes to the recently released version 1.5 only.

What is new in version 1.5:

This version is mostly focused on making using Serviio easier and less error-prone for the users. Java now comes bundled with the Windows and OSX versions, so you don't need to install it on your system manually and deal with problems when your Java gets updated. Linux users still have to install Java 8 (which is now the minimum requirement). OSX version is now distributed as an installer and starts the server as a service when your Mac boots up - no more Force close when shutting down your Mac. Only 64-bit Macs are supported now. The library indexing engine has been reworked, so that you get your filesystem changes reflected in the library immediately, without the need of a constant refresh. It should also make the process less CPU intensive. Remote drives are also handled differently without any side effects. Apart from these, there are many smaller improvements and fixes.
