A quick note that those of you in the beta program (it’s free if you purchased the app!) should start seeing the first build of Orange Squeeze 2.5 available for update. Be gentle, it’s a very early build. Expect frequent updates over the next few weeks as the bugs get ironed out! The Orange Bike Labs twitter feed will be where most of our day-to-day activity will be made, so follow it if you’re interested.
Here are the release notes:
2.5.0 Preview/Alpha (2014-05-09)
Known Limitations/Bugs
- The now playing screen is missing some key information, such as album, ratings, year, etc.
- There is some lag in visual responsiveness after changing track, etc.
- Multi-source support is early, moving players between source isn’t well-supported.
- There is no list-based playlist view.
- There are no shuffle/repeat buttons on phone-sized devices.
- There is no built-in way to view the full-size, uncropped artwork.
