Sorry, should have clarified, it is NOT available on steam, so if you are running Steam, it will NOT auto-update until we officially release it early next week. As for running multiple versions, that is not possible through Steam (unless if you have multiple machines and properly set one up in offline mode). On a PC, you can use the single folder install above to have 2 versions on your local machine, however do note that games saved under the new version cannot be opened by the older version, so you need to pay attention to the version you are using and saving.

*edit, to add, I guess on Steam during the public beta, it is possible to run both versions. Basically, you can opt in and opt out of the beta versions, and Steam will download the correct files, so for this weekend, you could opt into the beta, do what you need on the new version and then opt out of the beta to return to the last public release. However this won't be possible once the full version is released.
