Hi All,
This is a quick specific mention for version 2.49.5.
There are no updates to this version. There are updates to 2.49.4.
Just none to 2.49.5. Users hoping to update to this
version will need to update manually.
Further to my post, I'm currently working on a minor patch
between 2.49.4 to 2.49.5.

Can I ask .... "WHY??"
Shouldn't you be advising us all to upgrade to SM 2.53.5.1 (or
whatever) rather than fixing problems associated with a, .... what??,
year or more old version??
(Not that I, and I'm sure a lot of others here, don't appreciated all
the effort that you, Edmund, and the rest of the SM team put in!! ;-) )
(To be honest, when I saw your 36 line original post in this thread,
then saw your 13 line reply to yourself, I thought this would be you
apologising for the OP!! ;-P )
My personal two cents:
Profile upgrade from 2.0 to 2.49.x or whatever will probably fail. I
think needs to go thru 2.1 at least. Anyone still on pre 2.49 probably
has a reason if I find it valid or not. Don't care don't want to hear
it. We are fixing outstanding issues as fast as time permits but not
enough devs around. Issues with add-ons need to be fixed buy the author
or a third party. Binary plugins and add-ons are gone and will not come
back.
Would enable updates from 2.33.1 and up to 2.49.5. Tested these and
should cause no big problems.
I would not enable updates from 2.49.x to 2.53.1 and up. If a master
password is set this might result in data loss. Also because of the code
cleanups and mozilla deprecations older add-ons might not work resulting
in further unhappy users. If anyone wants to stay on 2.49.5 or prior
running Windows 7 and up be my guest but don't file any bugs or ask for
official support.
Updates for 2.53.1 and up should be fully enabled. There are some issues
in later versions but overall they are stable.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For all your efforts. ;-P
