Yes, and I think 1.8 should solve roughly half of them (I'm unable to reproduce most of them in 1.8). Given our limited resources, I have no current plans to spend time on fixing bugs in the 1.6.x series (others are free of course to work on this). > Has the UI changed since 1.6.1? I would suspect so. UI has not really seen many changes. Changes would be things like: * Amazon MP3 Store Service * Miro podcast guide * iPhone support These changes should not impact a user in any significant way (they just show up as additional sources on the left side). One one potentially confusing change is that the preferences dialog was re-arraigned. Since all preferences are transparently migrated and the majority of users only set preferences once, this impact should be minimal.
