Google will require OAUTH 2.0 from 30 May on. From which version on does TB! 
support this?

IIRC, first version The Bat! with Google OAUTH support was 7.x, so your version 
is too old and you will have to upgrade.

With v10 released yesterday, Ritlabs is offering 50% discount from the full 
price for upgrade from versions prior to 9.0, the upgrade process must be 
painless as the only thing is needed is just installation of the new version 
(it is always recommended to have a backup, of course).

Good afternoon all, today I received this message from Google. I use an elderly 
version of The Bat! and need to know if I can still use it when Google 
implement these security changes, as I have one GMAIL  account I use TB! for, 
thanks. I am using v5.8.10 on Windows 7 64 bit Pro. Is such an elderly version 
still painlessly upgradeable to the current one if required?
