* _**NEW in v1.68**: Volume-control improvements, plus improved support for Apple-style one-time "pin" codes introduced in 1.67: a
register of pin-registered clients can now optionally be maintained to check returning clients; a simpler method for generating
a persistent public key (based on the MAC address, which can be set in the UxPlay startup file) is now the default. (The OpenSSL
"pem-file" method introduced in 1.67 is still available with the "-key" option.)_
* _**NEW in v1.69**: minor changes for users: -nofreeze option to NOT leave frozen
video in place when a network failure occurs; internal changes/improvements
