== Updates ==
If the automagical updater that is built into kJams fails for some reason (or you're crashing during the update or on startup), it's probably due to a newly introduced bug, which is probably now FIXED in the current version.  So just go download the latest version (see above right or find the one you want [{{SERVER}}/product_downloads/ on this page)], and install it manually (replacing the one that was there before).  Hopefully from then on the auto-updater will work again.


Later, there will be an burning plugin you can purchase separately for $40
Up'''dates''' to kJams are always free, and they happen frequently.  Up'''grading''' from 1.0 to 2.0 is a [[KJams_2|paid upgrade]].


To purchase: Download the one you want and run it, then go to the Help menu, pick "Purchase..." There is also an upgrade path from Lite to Pro.
If there's a brand new release, and you update to it, and it crashes on startup, believe me I already know about it and am working to fix it as you read this.  (However, please tell me anyway, the more people that report it, the faster I work).  Meanwhile, you can easily [[Downgrade]] to the previous version.  When you run the downgraded version, do NOT update until there's an even '''newer''' version available, which should happen very shortly.

Keep in mind this is DEVELOPMENT software, NOT "Release", not "Beta", not even "Alpha", but one stage BEFORE that.
