Why were working versions of apps (DLNA and others) for F12/Amahi 5 taken out of our list of available apps? I am really gun shy about this upgrade to F14 and Amahi 6 and for the last year, just as you all have stated and I have relied on, Amahi 5 just works. But now, just as I start to research really leveraging the server for multimedia as an alternative or addition to cable TV, apps start to disappear (DLNA, iPod streaming, some others) or are starred with an asterisk for testing?????
If I am putting this question in the wrong place I apologize, I am not a super user by any stretch, but there was little or no notice of this and I can't find this explained anywhere. I would appreciate any insight or reference to an understanding of what this all means those of us not jumping on the upgrade bandwagon right away.
With the utmost respect and appreciation for what you have provided,

Update: After looking again at the AppStore on Amahi.org, I started to notice a lot fewer apps available - period, with no deference to whether you continued to run Amahi 5 or were upgrading to Amahi 6, and prices associated with some apps. OK, understandable, but still no clear explanation for how legacy users of Amahi 5 are affected. What if I had some of the apps that were free in Amahi 5 and WORKING were installed and being used? Would they have been disabled on the 3rd of March?
In the announcement blog this is misleading:
"Can I upgrade from Amahi 5: yes, with caution and patience. You don’t have to, however. Your Amahi 5 server will continue running for years if you let it run!"
I don't mind supporting the cause after a year of free use, but I have to reiterate what I asked above, Is there some place where all of this is explained for people who set up an Amahi 5 Server some time ago, took for granted the reliability and stability, tinkered with some apps on occasion and now are wondering what is going on?
