Message on opening AS

I am mostly using AS via the plugin for FH v5.
When I do so I get a message that tells me that a new version (4.2) is available. The screen that then opens tells me that I am on version 4.0 (despite having downloaded 4.0.1) and that a later version 4.0.0 is available for download.
When I go to the download page I am only offered 4.0.1
What am I doing wrong or is this a bug??
Thanks

It is a common misconception to mix up the
AS Plugin with the
AS Program.
The
AS Plugin you are using is version
4.0 and it is only designed to work with
AS Program version
4.0.0.
The
AS Plugin has moved on via version
4.1 to version
4.2, which should be downloaded from the FH
Plugin Store.
Alternatively, you can occasionally use the
Check Installed Plugins Against the Store Plugin to ensure all your
Plugins are up-to-date.
You have correctly downloaded and installed the latest
AS Program version
4.0.1.
The report from your out-of-date
AS Plugin is a misnomer.
It was only intended to be used with
AS Program version
4.0.0 - sorry!
So update your
Ancestral Sources Data Entry Plugin from the
Plugin Store where you obtained version
4.0 and all will be well.
Explanation:
In those earlier
AS Plugin versions the latest
AS Program version had to be manually edited into a new version of the
AS Plugin. The later
AS Plugin versions now automatically detect when the
AS Program download version is updated in the
FHUG Knowledge Base.
