AlienBBC for Squeezebox Server v.7.4.1

Logitech have recently significantly updated their Windows Squeezebox server software to version 7.4.1 and changed its name from SqueezeCenter to 'Squeezebox Server'.
It seems to be a substantial improvement but I am missing AlienBBC which worked fine with the previous SqueezeCenter v.7.3.
Does anybody know if there is a version of AlienBBC which works with 7.4.1?

What you want now is the BBC iPlayer plugin which has pretty much replaced alien now.

iPlayer is one of the 'registered' plugins, once you've installed 7.4.x, open the web interface and go to Settings->Plugins and select those to install and restart the Squeezebox Server
