LiveStation just put out a new release (v 1.0.62) with many subtle and hidden changes, and one big change – the move to Silverlight RC 1.

As you may be aware, Microsoft have stopped Silverlight Beta from working, so all users must upgrade to Silverlight RC 1.0. The new LiveStation release works with this new version of Silverlight. Some users may have to restart LiveStation.

There are two ways to get the new version, via the auto update, or manual installation.

Auto update: There is an update rolling out that should update your version to the latest v 1.0.62. When you first watch LiveStation after the update, you will be prompted to download and install Silverlight RC 1.0, and restart LiveStation.

Manual installation: Viewers that have problems with the update should go to: http://beta.livestation.com/user/main and download the v 1.0.62 installer. This process will install Silverlight RC 1.0.

The key changes in this release include:

• The change to use Silverlight RC 1.0. This is a breaking change as v 1.0.61 and v 1.0.62 will not work with Silverlight Beta.
• Quality and monitoring changes to the back end, enabling us to better understand the network.
• Over 30 bug fixes for various networking and video problems.
• Subtle UI changes (including border and rendering changes).
• The LiveStation window is now centred when you zoom.
• Improved behaviour around network restart / change.
• Better handling of the sleep/hibernate/restore cycle.
• Different intro video.
• Support & feedback options added to the right click menu.
