MinimServer & MinimStreamer Update Practice

[tommyrot]

Dear Simon,

After some time away I noticed today from my control point (app) that my music server wasn't showing. So, i launched MinimWatch on my Mac and saw that there was an update available for MinimServer and MinimStreamer. My versions weren't particularly out-of-date – perhaps a few minor versions. Anyway, to see if it made any difference I updated and the music server appeared again in my control app. Hooray.

However, this leaves me wondering a few things. Is it now standard practice to disable older versions of MinimServer from working whenever newer versions are released? If so, I'd be keen to know why that is now the case. I know that having fewer versions simplifies support, so is that the reason? Or was there a critical issue with the previous version?

Thank you.
