Anathema now requires Java 7 Update 21 or later. Windows and OS X releases include a suitable version. Due to changed dependencies, Anathema only runs on Windows, OS X and Linux.

This is an indicator release to ask you to re-download Anathema from our website. There are no changes here, but Anathema 5.1, our final major release for Exalted, Second Edition will be available shortly. Please un-install and re-install Anathema to use it.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
There was a critical issue with 5.0.0, rendering the update manager unusable. This patch fixes it.
Users of 5.0.0, you don't need to worry about your character. Just uninstall 5.0.0 and install this one, and you'll be fine.
Anathema now requires Java 7.
On Windows and OS X, we now include a bundled Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to allow Anathema to run. Because this environment is included with Anathema, there is no need for you to install Java on your computer. In fact, if you have Java installed only to run a previous version of Anathema, you can now uninstall Java if you wish.
Of course, you can still run Anathema with your system-wide Java installation. The wiki has more details.
This change implies that Mac users now need OS X 10.7.3 or higher.
- [OSX] Gatekeeper no longer views Anathema as "damaged". You still need to allow it to run. The wiki has more details.

There was a critical issue with 4.5.0, rendering the release unusable. This patch fixes it.
We have left sourceforge for good. See the announcement on the homepage for details. There are some issues with the automated update system. If Anathema appears to be unable to update itself, please close the dialog, quit the program and download the installer from our website at anathema.github.com. Please do not leave the updater running for hours on end - you'll just kill our server, and keep everyone else from downloading Anathema.

From this version onward, Anathema no longer uses the "Equipment.yap" file, but individual files for each item. It will back up your existing database, convert it, and remove the original Equipment.yap file.
Anathema now includes a default equipment database, which contains the mundane and artifact weapons, shields, and armor from the 2E Core and 2.5 Errata. If Anathema detects no items in your equipment database, it will populate it with the default database.
