I use homebrew as package manager on the mac, and manually installed 2.4.0 RC4 over the app. No drama, rally, a few little hickups here and there, maybe also due to my upgrading basictex.
Homebrew then put 2.3.8 on top of that and I only noticed the difference in the Find command, which now opens a (permanent) window on the bottom). All 2.4.0 files were read. If you use a package manager, just upgrade. el On 24/05/2024 11:55, Pavel Sanda wrote: > On Fri, May 24, 2024 at 10:56:37AM +0300, matan guedj wrote: >> I have the 2.3.7 with many files with specific configurations >> (like Hebrew, special colors, special macros, shortcuts, packages, >> etc...) if I just download the newer version will it be a seamless >> transition? or is it more involved than that? > > 2.3.7 -> 2.3.8 should be seamless. 2.3.7 -> 2.4.0 might need some > tinkering around > >> I also wonder if it's worth it at all as the changes seem very >> minor, and not something I've used. > > The main reason why 2.3.8 was released is that it can read 2.4.x > files as well.
