Performance has also been improved in connection with some streaming offers, such as TIDAL and various Internet radio stations.
Optimizations in Valence and search function

The improvements in the search function, which Roon Labs LLC. also lists as improvements in Roon 1.8 Build 903, should also be seen in this context.
