I think I know the answer but here goes anyway... Is v3.6.8 supposed to alert you to a "Classic Shell Update" now that v4 is released? At the moment if I "Check Now" (with 3.6.8 installed) it says "Your version of Classic Shell is up to date"? TIA Steve |

No, it won't alert everyone yet. The update notification has intentionally not been rolled out yet because a lot of people don't try the betas and RCs and then when 4.0 is declared as RTM, they directly try it and all the real issues and bugs start getting reported.  Ivo might do a quick 4.0.1 update and then after some days everyone will start getting the update notification.This will ensure the rollout of a more bug-free version |

It is not labeled as release candidate or beta as many other previous versions have been. In fact, none of the previous version are listed as RTM under version history. Therefore, one would presume that General Release is RTM. http://www.classicshell.net/history/#v400 |

It is RTM, completely stable, and safe for general use.  However the update notification hasn't been rolled out for reasons mentioned above - some bugs. If everyone got the notification for 4.0 and then 4.0.1 was rolled out soon after to fix all the reported bug ASAP, then such frequent update notifications can also annoy users.
