It is a bug. That's it, according to Sonos!

So when the Sonos rep replies with nothing more than a cut and paste of the release notes from the app store what then?

I expect a release note just as https://www.sonos.com/en/software/release/8-2 or https://www.sonos.com/en/software/release/6-4-7. Apparently even the minor updates have release notes, so why not this one?

You’ll notice on that page it says current software version 8.2. Perhaps they simply haven’t gotten around to updating the release notes yet? I recall reading about a quick bug fix for what, Pandora or Spotify? Fix first, document later? Makes sense for a critical must-fix patch.

You could be right. Maybe a Sonos rep can confirm.

Can confirm, it was a quick fix for controllers. We found a bug in the most recent release and thought it was important enough for a quick fix and wanted to make sure it got out to everyone.

We try to put out release notes for versions when there's something to say in them that's meaningful. There isn't a detailed release note page for 8.2.1 because it really would just say the same message as in the app store: "This update fixes a bug we found in our most recent software release."

The example, 6.4.7, you linked was about adding in-app messaging, but you won't find a release note page on the main website for 7.4.1 which fixed an issue with PLAYBAR audio.
