Out of curiosity, are the Linux and Mac (DMG) files updated as well, or is this update only available via the launcher? I did redownload the DMG but it has the same 6404 version info as the one when 1.7 was released.

I checked again today and the download from the websote has the updated 6406 DMG. Thanks!
