Note 1 - User manual coming soon
The users manual update to reflect this software is under development, and will release soon.
Note 2 - please power cycle!
This upgrade contains a firmware setting change for your hard drive. This setting can improve lifetime of the hard drive, and for it to take effect a power cycle is required. Shut down your B3 after the upgrade, and pull power. Wait 5 seconds and then power up B3 again.
Note 3 - Logitech Media Server update requires manual start
Go to admin -> services to start the server, it does not automatically do this after update.
Note 4 - Spanish translation incomplete
The Spanish language is not complete, will be updated in 2.5. Untranslated strings are shown in English.
Note 5 - Updater feedback may lag
If the updater seems to stop for a few minutes don't worry. It is still working and will show progress in a few minutes.

* WiFi not working at 5 GHz
* Some translations went missing in German
* UI bug when creating a backup job with custom choosen content making this selection difficult
