HS4 Beta Release 4.2.17.4
Installation
NOTE PLEASE READ: This build includes a new feature called Conditional Actions. This allows you to have actions that are executed based on some conditions you specify. Because of this, the saved format of the events has changed. If you decide to go back to a previous version of HS4 you will lose all of your event actions unless you follow the Reverting to a Previous Version instructions below.
