Yep they did , it's a bit different dumbed down variant they tried to
launch under the UE brand ( that they have acquired to ).
More geared towards Internet only listeners .
Luckily you can convert an UE radio to a Squeezebox Radio :) they only
recently killed that one so some of them may still be in retail , that's
the last squeezebox you can buy .

But you should be able to resurect your old squeezeboxes and use them
with the newest server . And logitech still runs their mysqueezebox.com
aka squeezenetwork ? 
Maybe the SB1 would start showing its age it would not be good for
online services .dont support that many file formats and has smaller
buffer etc

Transporter and duet and SB3 can even be used for spotify with Triodes
excellent spotify plugin ( not the official app provided by logitech ,
that one only works on radio or Touch ) these players still rocks if the
hardware is ok .

The most versitality player is the Touch if you got one .I've got spares
tucked away so I could replace my Touches if they brake .

Many of the new third party options are based on a very versitality
software player called squeezelite that triode wrote its headless ( no
GUI ) runs on almost every platform and plays almost every file format a
hardware squeezebox can play and actually some more formats ! Much more
usefull than softsqueeze or Squeezeslave you may be familiar with .
