Upgrade Notes:

For 1.70.0 and above:

- Just uninstall the older version and install the newer one.

For versions prior to 1.70.0:

- It is recommended to back up and remove your old PMS.conf and re-enter and save your settings (if any) in the GUI. Alternatively (e.g. if you have a large number of customizations you wish to preserve), see the upgrade notes for previous major releases (e.g. 1.50.0, 1.60.0 &c.) for migration instructions.

You can download the newest Windows, Linux and Mac OS X versions on the official Project page HERE.
