Do we need JRE 1.4.0 if we already have 1.3.1 ?
 
The LimeWire Pro Download Page now states:


LimeWire Performance Enhancement (Win & Linux only)

We encourage Windows and Linux users to download the JRE for faster operation and performance enhancement.
Important: Before you install the enhancement, you must install LimeWire first. LimeWire Performance Enhancement (Win & Linux only)


I thought LW always required JRE (and probably installs it or links to it during install if not found).

Anyway I have JRE 1.3.1 (you can check via ControlPanel)

Does 1.4.0 offer an advantage? I don't want to install it for nothing, since 1.3.1 does not seem broke to me.

That note on the DL page it vague and unclear.

Well, as LimeWire states on its website, - the JRE 1.4 allows LimeWire to increase performance.

and 1.4.0 has support for the mouse wheel :)

Ahhh, the Wheel mouse did indeed work. That alone is a reason to go to 1.4.0.

It would have been nice if someone at LW spent the 3 minutes and wrote a quick list of compelling improvements with 1.4.0.


(and No thanks to Taliban's reply)
