OS Requirements
According to the release notes, this version dropped support for Windows XP. At least Vista is required from now on.
Perhaps the system requirements on the app page should be adjusted.
Adjusted
It's been adjusted. That's my fault as depp.jones let me know but I forgot to update the page last night.
Note that we won't be testing for Windows XP compatibility as projects are dropping support with every new release and often not announcing it. We will adjust app homepages when made aware of it, though.
Upgrade broke existing installation
Since this new version calls itself as invalid executable kittyportable.exe instead of kitty_portable.exe, I believe (or the other way round?) the upgrade broke the app. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling but succeeded only in losing my saved host configurations and keys.
No bug reports here
Please create a new topic with a leading [Bug] in the support forum, so that it could be tracked by the bug tracker.
I cannot reproduce this, so we need some more information. It has been kitty_portable.exe since the beginning and nothing has been changed in the latest package. Maybe it's a base app's error.
