[4.5.9] NES Maker Check for Updates option seems to have issues?

Hi, I have installed the version 4.5.9. I used the check for updates option and the version 4.1.5 appeared as available for an update.

I thought it could be perhaps to a digit missing being in fact a new version, i.e. 4.10.5, so clicked to update.

After restarting the NES Maker I have realized that it got downgraded to version 4.1.5.

Maybe this has been something that was overlooked. Could you fix that?

The only thing I could think of is just downloading NESMaker again...

It's a known bug. It will be fix in the future version.
The MOST RECENT version is the 4.5.9 (and not « 5.4.9 » as I typoed before) and there WILL NOT be any update for that version. No need to check updates.

The next major version, NESmaker 5 (EDIT: in fact it will be « Retro Game Forge »), won't be compatible with old projects.

Hi!
As I am reading again your response, I am noticing that you said that the most recent version is 5. - I missed that detail.
The NESMaker website says 4.5. Was that a typo, or the actual latest version is different from the one mentioned on the site?
And, if the lastest version is in fact the 5.4.9 where/how can it be downloaded?
