Updates for Wenlin Software for Learning Chinese

February 9, 2011

For users of version 3.0 or later, who haven't made up their minds (or saved up enough money) to upgrade to version 4, a free update to 3.4.1 is available, and strongly recommended, since there are quite a few improvements. The only differences between 3.4 and 3.4.1 are two important bug fixes: (1) using the brush tool (for handwriting recognition) caused a memory leak; (2) files saved in the GB format had wrong codes for some non-Chinese characters. (For differences between 3.4 and earlier versions, please see What was new in 3.4.)

The update to Version 3.4.1 is only available to currently licensed users of 3.0 or later. It won't work unless you have already installed 3.0 (or later) on your hard drive.

To update, please click on the link below for your operating system:

Users of versions 3 or earlier can upgrade or a fraction of the full price -- please see the upgrade page. (We make a distinction between free updates and inexpensive upgrades.)

Also, free updates are available to version 2.7 for MS-Windows, or 2.6 for Macintosh -- click here for version 2.x.
