== 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.

Keep in mind this is DEVELOPMENT software, NOT "Release", not "Beta", not even "Alpha", but one stage BEFORE that. ([[Development Stages|click here]] for an explanation) That means there ARE bugs (ie: you will likely experience "Asserts" and even crashes), and there ARE performance problems (ie: some kinds of MP3's don't play, some zip files won't unzip), and not all features are even present! You have been warned.
Keep in mind that kJams 1.0.1 is currently "Beta". ([[Development Stages|click here]] for an explanation) That means I'm still ironing some bugs out, but it's definitely solid enough to run your shows and parties.

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).
