G'Day Sean,
a newbie question here (please bear with me), we run xLights on our Macbook and I'd like to understand the correct procedure for updating the existing program (we haven't set up any models as yet) each time a new version is released.

Do we need to uninstall the old version or does the new version copy over the top of the old?

Once installed, I am guessing that we need to update each model, but I would guess that the program will do that for us...

You dont need to do anything to update your models.
