If you're running a QORTector built before the launch of 1.7.0, you **no longer need the start script** on the desktop **or the update script**. You can simply remove the start script from the desktop, as from this point on you will be launching the **appimage file directly**.

- | Version 3.0 update will include the new backend | + | Once you have your UI updated, version 3.0 of the core update will work with your UI. The 3.0 core version will auto-update from 2.1.3 without any added effort. The only thing that you will need to modify, if you're a **Linux or Mac user** is the stop script (stop.sh). The current stop script does NOT use the API key for the calling of the admin/stop call, and therefore will NOT function. There will be a new stop script launched upon 3.0 launch. You will simply need to download the new stop script and replace the existing one. |
