This discussion was created from the release v0.7.0.

Thanks to the many, many contributors and @photovoltex for coordinating most of the work!

We do realize that this release is long overdue. The v0.6.0 release before this was in October last year! @photovoltex, @kingosticks and I are discussing how we can better automate releases, hoping that we can also push releases out more often.

Also a heartfelt thank you to those who already sponsored one or more our maintainers or contributors. This is and remains a volunteer effort, and your support is much appreciated.

❤️

[photovoltex]

And also a huge thanks to you for managing and preparing the release <3

[plummer66]

sorry newbie here. What is the best way for us to apply this update on a headless system? Thx.

[photovoltex]

Probably depends primarily on how you installed it. If you used cargo, running the install command again should install the new version and replace the old one.

[plummer66]

Sorry should have mentioned. On a old rasp pi with raspotify.

[kingosticks]

That's a question for the raspotify repo.

[photovoltex]

@roderickvd Quick question about the changes you made for the 0.7 release. You changed in the crates how the librespot crates are included (d53458a). Was that due to a restriction by cargo publish or could it have worked without the change? Asking in relation to the release automation.

[roderickvd]

No, cargo publish needed it.

[photovoltex]

Thanks, then I just have to adjust the version bumping to that.
