I’ve introduced a method to incrementally upgrade the release version, rather than having to download the entire installer every time – important now since they are getting rather large.
This is currently applicable to the Windows installers only, not to the Linux version which needs to be compiled from source.
Currently manual patching is required:
- Download patch
- Extract in Boris directory (on Windows this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Boris)
- Run PatchApply.exe as administrator after closing all running Boris instances
