I have used Flare in the past (2012), and now am using it again at a different company.
I am getting the upgrade popup (2018 r2). I looked at the contents of the release, but not sure I need these features.
Can I download the new software without installing it? Is the installation easy (what steps are needed after the install)?
What is the harm of not installing this version?
thanks.
do i need 2018 r2?

Re: do i need 2018 r2?
Installation is straight forward, at least it was in the past. Cannot speak as to how harmful it is to install, depends quite a bit on your project and how changes would negatively impact it. As far as I know, there is no need to install the update if you don't want to.

oh, there is one very good reason for me: The bug which changes your window pane layout, deleting the toc editor window, is fixed in 2018-r2.
see here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=18961&p=132033&hilit=fltoc#p132033
So I recommend using 2018-r2. I hated it, when I had to readjust my chosen window pane look with every opening of Flare.
