Notes

(1) For users of Mac desktops, iPads and Android devices, your devices should update automatically (depending on your store settings) so you should not need to do this.

(2) Windows versions from 1.4.20 onwards will also update automatically.

(3) Windows version 1.4.17 , 1.4.18 and 1.4.19 do not update automatically.

(4) Thortspace versions for Linux currently do not update automatically, so you must always do a manual update to be sure of having the latest version on the Linux platform.

UPDATE — April 2020

There is an error in the Mac version 1.5.4 which causes it to display 1.5.3 in the About dialog from the main central menu. You can, however, confirm you are using Mac Thortspace version 1.5.4 by using the About Thortspace command from the top Mac menu, while the Thortspace App window is active as shown here:

On your Mac computer, select “About Thortspace” from the top menu while the Thortspace App window is active.
