We would appreciate <strong>detailed<\/strong> reports of any issues one manages to track down.<\/p>\n<p>This version will not overwrite your existing database, but rather create a new one and import your existing data into it.  However, this new database will be used in all future versions, so if you decide to go back to 6.5, you will need to delete <code>Library\/Application Support\/Sapphire\/metaData.sapphireDataV2<\/code> before going back to 7.  Data from the old database is only imported if the new database file does not exist, so any changes made in 6.5 after trying 7 will be lost when you upgrade to the final version.<\/p>\n<p>Download <a href=\"http:\/\/appletv.nanopi.net\/getFile.php?Sapphire_1.0b7.CD.P6.zip\">Sapphire 1.0b7.zip Preview 6<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/appletv.nanopi.net\/getFile.php?Sapphire_1.0b7.CD.P6.sh\">Sapphire 1.0b7.sh Preview 6 <\/a><\/p>\n<p>This version has the following changes since Beta 7 Preview 5:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Disabled the pruning step in the import in favor of auto-pruning<\/li>\n<li>Present an error when attempting to playback a DVD on the ATV rather than crashing.
