avneron just posted a blog post (http://blog.boxee.tv/2008/12/16/fixing-bugs/) regarding the version update, primarily a bugfix for 0.9.5.4497 (http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=2532), and finally a release for us penguin lova'z.
a couple more fixes not featured in the blog post:
new configuration options to set file size limit for video recognition via Setting > Video
full screen option on 2nd display now works without jumping back to 1st display
davilla and crew at atvusb-creator (http://code.google.com/p/atvusb-creator/) also released MultiLauncher (http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=3075), which fixed the issue with boxee not always starting up (actually showing up) when running on atv. this is not yet a full launcher update, but the guys are doing tremendous work to make you happy. kudos scott and stephen!
