If a chat session gets interrupted, for example by a phone call, when you come back, you'll find a screen telling you that the session was interrupted and giving you the option to re-enter the chat room. Of course, you can also go back.
By default, when the app enters the background, whether because you switched apps or because you locked the screen, your mic will be muted, until the app comes back into the foreground. This is a configurable setting on the Settings tab in chat. Also, the first time the app enters the background while you're in a chat room, you'll get a notification explaining this behavior.
The screen no longer automatically locks while you're in a chat room.
This update fixes a few crashiing bugs.

Sero is the latest evolution of the app formerly known as iBlink Radio, incorporating features from the service formerly known as SAMNet.
Search is now much improved throughout the app. When searching Sero content, search results will now be displayed as you enter your query.
You can now download content in the background. Sero will notify you when the download is finished.
When playing a piece of content that you have previously listened to, whether on this device or another one, Sero will now ask you if you want to continue where you left off or start over.
New features for users with an active Sero account:
You can now participate in our voice chat rooms on your iOS device.
When posting to a Sero community forum, you can now choose to post a voice message. When using an iPhone, simply lift the phone to your ear to record your message.
For some Sero content, you can now play through multiple episodes continuously, and download them all at once.
For logged-in users, the Sero app now has just one home screen, as opposed to an iBlink Radio home screen and a separate SAMNet home screen a level down.
There are also many more minor improvements and bug fixes in this overhaul of the app.
