Is There a New version of Logitech Media Server?


I noticed a messsage on my music server yesterday indicating a new version of Logitech Media Server was available. Have not had a chance to investigate further yet.

That surprised me in that Logitech no longer produces Squeezebox clients for the server and I had not noticed any updates available for quite a while.

So is this a legit update? Who is supporting the server these days and doing updates? Logitech still?

If anyone knows anything about this, please chime in.

Thanks.

I have 3 SB's and yesterday they pushed an updated version to my server when I arrived home from travel.

I am unable to tell you if any functionality changed or not, since I haven't fooled with it yet. Don't know if this helps you or not.
