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 on this page), and install it manually (replacing the one that was there before). Hopefully from then on the auto-updater will work again.
Updates to kJams are always free, and they happen frequently. Upgrading from 1.0 to 2.0 is a paid upgrade.
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.
kJams 2 Open Development
kJams 2 development builds have been opened up for public purchase. Yes, you'd be buying into early access to software still in development, which means it may be buggy, and will have features missing. Please see the kJams 2 page for info about what is working and what is not.

You don't have to buy it to try it out, it's ShareWare! Just go download it (see below). Note that unlike typical ShareWare, I provide FULL tech support and all updates are free. The ShareWare is limited by functionality, not by time, so there is no "expiration". See below for the Limitations.
