Airport Express & Extreme Firmware Updates

Well, Apple and their engineers do seem to have been reading the endless posts on their support forums about dropping Airport Express audio streams and other issues. Tonight, they've released two firmware updates--one for the Express (v6.3) and one for the Extreme (v5.7)--that claim to address this and other issues.

I've updated the base stations in my WDS network and the only issue I was having--dropped streaming audio--hasn't recurred, so tentatively, I'll say it's been a successful update.

Good thing too, since if I can't even stream audio properly, I don't know how I'd ever be able to stream video (HD?) to an Airport device, as may be possible in a little less than a week.
