Updating to new version

Matteob · 02-24-2013, 09:17 AM

Hello everone. I have just discovered this brilliant software. I just have one question. Can one update to the new releases over the old one? There seems to be a new release every couple of days and i am removing old version and loading new version all the time.

Thanks

Yes - you can install an new version directly over the old version.

Calibre releases are normally weekly (on a Friday) with whatever changes/fixes surfaced during the week. Many people do not bother to take all the releases, but merely read the release notes until they see a change that interests them.

Glance at the Download Page notes:
If there are any Special instructions or Limitations, they show there.

So Far (IIRC):

Windows version has only had 1 required special upgrade procedure, and THAT was years ago.

MAC has OS version limitations
Liniux has its requirements
