Software Update on Pi-Star

Hoping i can impose on you fine folks for an issue that identifies itself now when logging into my Zumspot. I get the following message:

"Alert: You are running an outdated version of Pi-Star, please upgrade. New versions are available from the here: http://www.pistar.uk/downloads/"

I have the Zumspot with the Nextion display nd am running version 3.4.17. I went to the website and downloaded the latest version for the Raspberry Pi 3B (I have the 3B+) and have imaged a new card in preparation.

My fear is that I am opening Pandora's proverbial box. For example, is that Nextion screen supported in the new version? What are the benefits of the new software? I haven't been able to find a listing of enhancements etc.

In view of mine working fine, I am a little apprehensive to update it.

Appreciate all comments. Thank you!

    Update was painless. Can't honestly say that I notice any difference, but I am now current on software. Thanks for the help.
