Late last week, Apple released version 2.0.1 of its Apple TV software. The first update since the device's "Take 2" software was released, the update generally contains relatively non-specific bug fixes and improvements.

Update: Per Macworld, the 2.0.1 update provides the following specific changes:
-Users will now find a new "Genres" entry in the Apple TV's "My Movies" screen.

-Users can sync podcasts directly from the iTunes Store to the APple TV. When the Apple TV is next synced with iTunes, downloaded podcasts will be synced to the unit where they'll appear in the iTunes Podcasts area.

-A new "Skip When Shuffling" option allows certain tracks in a playlist to be skipped altogether.

-A new "Plus for Progress" option allows users to see just how far along they are in a movie, TV show or podcast by pressing the Apple Remote's plus button to make a blue progress bar appear.

Users can update their Apple TV through the device's system settings, whereupon the unit downloads and installs the patch.

If you've tried version 2.0.1 of the software on your Apple TV and noticed any major changes, please let us know in the comments or forums.
