New ARD 3.6.1 build showing up?

Before I ask our packagers to wrap this baby...does anyone have a clue what this is about?

Eh? Not sure I get it. The kb article you linked to seems pretty self explanatory to me what its about.

I guess I was thrown off by MacUpdate email alerting me that the new version's build number is 471.19, where the version released a short while back is continuing to show 471.16. And no update shows up in App Store (I tried purging/redownloading and got the same version).

Probably nothing, but thought folks here might know something? ARD continues to be buggy, maybe too reliant on DNS, oh well.

UPDATE: I just got an email from a colleague saying the only update is ARD 3.6.1 now updates ARD client on Lion Macs to 3.6.1 (where they were sticking at 3.6). Not sure if that's the only fix (not listed).

Yeah. at this point I really don't ever expect much to come from Apple regarding ARD except for occasional bug fixes, like the one above, just to keep it from completely breaking. Seems it'll be a cold day in hell before Apple will add any new features to it. Its too bad… it could've been so much more if Apple had shown it some love.
