We have also completed a merge of the various source code repositories to a single system so future fixed and functionality additions will benefit both Classic and MAX, which is great news for the GameGuru community as a whole.

You will receive the update automatically through your Steam client if you have auto-update enabled, so you should not need to do anything except restart Steam and allow GameGuru to auto-update before you launch from the client.
