Windows users:

Employ the get_iplayer installer:

http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer_win/get_iplayer_setup_latest.exe

There is no need to perform a complete re-installation. The installer will detect the new release (if you are connected to the internet) and offer to upgrade only the get_iplayer component.


Linux users:

If you installed get_iplayer 2.80 with your system's package manager, the new release should eventually appear in your repositories if and when the package maintainer is able to make an update. The changes in version 2.82 do not affect any core functionality, so version 2.80 will continue to serve perfectly well in the interim.


Custom installations:

If you installed get_iplayer 2.80 from a tarball and did not use a package manager or the Windows installer, you may be able to use get_iplayer's self-update facility (remember to back up your existing installation first):

get_iplayer --update

To reiterate: Please *do not* use the self-update facility if you installed get_iplayer with the Windows installer.


PS: For anyone keeping score, the previous release version of get_iplayer was 2.80. However, there was no version 2.81. It was withdrawn due to a packaging error discovered immediately after the release was posted. Your update path goes directly from 2.80 to 2.82.
