Footnotes

1. Known Issues
   • Versions prior to v1.6.3 have a known issue of struggling to update on corporate networks. This is resolved in later versions, but in these cases, the only options are to continue re-attempting until it works, or using the latest updater as outlined in B.
   • Versions between 1.7.0 and 1.7.2 are susceptible to a bug where the updater could fail once it downloads changelog information. The resolution is to update with the latest updater as shown in B.
