Today Apple release software update 2.4. I was wondering, and surprised I am the first to ask, if it is safe to upgrade to 2.4?
I figure I will need to re install everything after the update, but I want to make sure XBMC is going to work before I do anything.

I had the same experience as roffles. Fortunately the library information is still intact.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but did any of the beta testers extract the boot.efi file from the new Apple TV DMG file and update their patchstick with it ?

So my AppleTV upgraded itself overnight to 2.4.
I grabbed the patchstick that I initially used and was able to re-installed the launcher.
I re-downloaded XBMC, and it started up without any significant issues. It remembered all my settings and mappings.
However, the XBMC screen was much smaller than it should be (I'm guessing it's about 800x600). I futzed around with the settings, and was able to get it much larger. A couple reboots improved the situation.
For a while I had a white title bar (that says 'XBMC Media Centre') across the top of the screen. After exiting & restarting XBMC a few times, I was able to get rid of it.
So far, it looks like everything is working.
