Sorry, hadn't read the forums since GS has been released and I couldn't find a single post summarizing all the versions.
It seems I can unzip 1.12 over 1.06 and then instal the latest GS (1.05?).
All the versions are getting a little confusing: 1.06, 1.12, 1.12.1, MH Gold, 1.02 GS, 1.05 GS, etc, plus stuff with Matrix vs Slitherene editions.
Sorry again if this has all been explained elsewhere and thanks for all the members' good work!

Yes; but I'd install GS v1.06 ( http://www.slitherine.com/downloads/item60 ) and then, apply the GS v1.07 patch ( viewtopic.php?p=165251#165251 ).

You ought to try keeping up with and managing beta builds, or worse alpha builds often days with multiple updates. I can't tell you the number of times I've applied alpha updates to an intermediate beta version or to an actual release version by accident. That's why I highly encourage folks to back files before before overwriting them with updated versions.

No problem & thanks.
