AppleTV OS 3.0
Released October 29, 2009
Changes
From Apple: "The new software for Apple TV features a simpler and faster interface that gives you instant access to your favorite content," said Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of Internet Services. "HD movies and HD TV shows from iTunes have been a huge hit with Apple TV customers, and with Apple TV 3.0 they get great new features including iTunes Extras, Genius Mixes and Internet radio."
From MacRumors:
- Redesigned main menu
- iTunes LPs and iTunes Extras are available in full-screen, enhancing the viewer experience for audio and video titles

Developer Notes
- - (id)controllerForIdentifier:(id)identifier -> - (id)controllerForIdentifier:(id)identifier args:(id) identifier2
- className needs to return a different string. "MOVAppliance" works.
- BRRenderScene is gone
- BRCenteredMenuController is gone (fraps using SapphireCompatClasses don't need any changes for this item)
- layoutManager is gone, it's been replaced by a call to the control's - (void)layoutSubcontrols
Important Notes
USB and watchdog patch offsets are unchanged from 2.4.
