So what I mean is, What was fixed? Why should I install it? I see the SDK was updated too - do they both need to be installed? How about some more information? I currently am running 6.0, Premier. I got an email telling me that 6.1 is available, featuring "improvements and enhancements over the previous release". Great, how about some detail? Not in the links in the email. I came to this site figuring there would be an announcement or discussion.
While I'm ranting, it occurred to me that I could update the FN Connect SDK by using the Software Manager. No, it doesn't see any updates available. You guys can't deliver the updates with your own updater? Sheesh. D. 😞
It looks like we have an opportunity to refine our communications. I haven't seen the email you mention, but I'll try to get my hands on it. Regarding your desire for more information, new releases typically point to http://www.globes.com/pages/flexnetconnect/current/fncdown.htm. That's where you'll find the release notes, details of what was fixed and changed, etc.
The SDK is recommended due to the changes made which allow a separate agent for a given product rather than an agent as a shared resource. That also happens to be the reason we do not publisher updates to the agent. It would be perhaps a bit rude of us to change the bits that a different software vendor had set onto the machine. There's so much more than that, though.
As always, I encourage you to submit your feedback on what we can improve via the corporate website: http://www.macrovision.com/feedback/web_feedback.shtml. In particular, it sounds as though we didn't meet your expectations with the email announcement, so please let us know how we can improve.
