Latest Mimosa Updates

You can see the latest software version number and date of Mimosa on the top of each of our pages. Your Mimosa version number and its compile date can be found also in the menu selection "Help|About". Since Mimosa does not automatically inform you with update announcements, we recommend you to check that you have the latest version.

One of the reasons for frequent updates is our policy to provide answers to the wishes and requirements of our clients as often as we can. Please do not hesitate to suggest us new features or corrections.

Note that if you have already installed an older version of Mimosa, and you want to install the current version,

  • you don't need to Uninstall the previous version of Mimosa
  • your current Mimosa files are NOT deleted or replaced (except files named "sample*.mfw")
  • your current Mimosa files are compatible with the new version
  • you can upgrade from ANY previous Mimosa version directly to the current version
