Due to a problem with our storage system yesterday, some users were accidentally served an old pre-release build instead of the 1.2.6 release version. The 1.2.7 release is thus just a re-packaging of yesterday’s update, in order to make sure that everyone got indeed the correct version.
Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Most importantly, Lighthouse 1.2.6 is entirely compatible with Snow Leopard. In fact, the previous version has already been supported by Snow Leopard, but 1.2.6 contains a couple of fixes for Snow Leopard-related issues that could have cropped up in the future.
Additionally, 1.2.6 introduces a bunch of work-arounds for UPnP-routers that do not support the HTTP specification correctly. While previous versions of Lighthouse would report an error with affected routers, 1.2.6 will try a set of different tricks in order to negotiate a way to communicate with the router. This might not always work, but it is a viable way to work with some routers that were previously unsupported.
Finally, a couple of minor bugfixes made it into the release as well, including a nasty crasher related to the German localization.
