Just a further update regarding 3.0.5 as I know a number of you follow this thread for updates -- this is a critical update and we encourage everyone to update immediately, before the end of daylight savings time next week.

One of the changes in this update prevents a problem in which playlist times may 'shift' by one hour when daylight savings time (aka "summer time" or "winter time") begins or ends.  As we are quickly approaching the end of daylight savings for many regions, we recommend updating immediately to avoid this problem.

It was brought to our attention that many clients subscribe to this build announcements thread and only update Centova Cast when this thread is updated.  Accordingly they may not have noticed the announcement of a resolution for the now-infamous Heartbleed bug in OpenSSL which was posted prominently on the front page of our web site.

This is just a late reminder to everyone that we released an update for the Heartbleed bug back on April 8th (within 24hr of the public disclosure of Heartbleed), and that any clients utilizing Centova Cast's SSL support should upgrade immediately if they have not already done so.  Centova Cast does use OpenSSL and thus Centova Cast's web server is vulnerable to Heartbleed on servers where SSL is being used to access Centova Cast.  (In a nutshell, if the URL you use for Centova Cast starts with "https://", you are vulnerable and need to update.)

Those who are using self-signed SSL certificates and are concerned that their private key may have been compromised can regenerate them using the instructions in this thread.
