GURPS Character Assistant 5.0.220.0 has been released. Get the updated installer from your Warehouse 23 downloads page. (I’ve posted some help on doing that at both the new and old stores here.)

It will not overwrite your personal data, it will overwrite your installation of GCA with the new and updated version.

This update includes all the changes mentioned in Build Notes posts since the last Release.
This time, it’s a bug fix release, fixing two issues:

• • For some reason, GCA would stop responding if you were in an edit field on a Classic View trait list and you clicked on a tab to change to a different list or view. That should no longer happen.
  • Fixes a critical bug related to item weight calculations introduced in b213 (released with version 5.0.218).
