Upgrade Notes:

It is recommended (but usually not necessary) to uninstall the older version before installing the new one.
If you would like to take advantage of improved default settings and new engines (recommended) you can delete your old configuration files before installing a new version. For Windows users they are in ProgramData/UMS/.


Thanks:

The PMS developers.
glebb for building the OS X version.

I just donated $50.00 to you using the link on your blog (www dot spirton dot com). The donation is intended for you, and you alone. I will donate to the other developers at a later time. $ is really tight right now, but I wanted to at least show my thanks to you for all of your hard work.

Sorry, your blog is www dot spirton dot com. I couldn't find a way to edit my post.

This is off topic a bit, but is it possible to edit your posts? Also, how do you upload attachments?
