-A lightweight desktop application for interactively creating and editing diagrams in the Unified Modeling Language. JetUML supports the sketching of software design ideas with a minimum of fuss. Diagrams can be saved in JSON, exported to popular image formats, and copied to the system clipboard for integration with other tools. Supports class diagrams, sequence diagrams, state diagrams, object diagrams, and use case diagrams. If you find this tool useful please **star the repo**.

 Starting with Release 3.0, JetUML is distributed in two formats:
 
 * **Self-contained application:** A large OS-specific download that must be installed on your system, but that does not require the Java platform.
-* **Thin Jar:** A small Java archive (jar) file that does _not_ include any of the dependencies. This option is available for experienced users who just want to download a tiny file and run it from the command-line. The thin jar is OS-independent but requires to have Java 14 or later *and* JavaFX 14 or later installed.

 ### Self-Contained Application
 
 * Download the file `JetUML-<Version>-<OS>.<ext>` that corresponds to your operating system from the [latest release page](https://github.com/prmr/JetUML/releases).
 
 * Run or install the file as customary on the appropriate operating system. You will be asked where to extract the application and a shortcut will be added to the desktop. 
 
+* If you are upgrading from a previous version, you can install the new application on top of the older version. See the [compatibility guide](compatibility) for information on loading diagram saved using older versions of JetUML.

 ### Thin Jar
