Installing
There are now separate installers for 32 and 64-bit on Mac and Windows, and new Linux ARM and Mac ARM builds.

What version do you need?
64-bit is the right version for most users.

If you have an M1 mac and you’re using the REAPER ARM64 beta, which isn’t recommended yet, then you’d get the macOS ARM64 build.

The installation location on windows has changed. The installer now installs to the userplugins folder, instead of the plugins folder in Program Files/Reaper

Updating
The SWS extension filenames have changed since the previous featured build
If you are updating SWS on Mac or Linux, you have to manually remove the old file before updating.

    Any chance that updating will change/effect custom actions that depended on earlier version of SWS?

    I have the auto close when losing focus, but my contextual menus stay open when I click away. Any more documentation out there on how to use this feature?
