 ## Setup
-
-1. Download the Spine Runtimes source using [git](https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git) or by downloading it as a zip via the download button above.
-1. Using Eclipse, import the project by choosing File -> Import -> Existing projects. For other IDEs you will need to create a new project and import the source.
-
-Alternatively, the contents of the `spine-libgdx/src` directory can be copied into your project.

-## Notes
-
-* The "test" source directory contains optional examples.
-* spine-libgdx depends on the gdx-backend-lwjgl project so the tests can easily be run on the desktop. If the tests are excluded, spine-libgdx only needs to depend on the gdx project.
-* spine-libgdx depends on the gdx-box2d extension project solely for the `Box2DExample` test.
+The simplest way to add `spine-libgdx` to your libGDX project is to copy the contents of the `spine-libgdx/src` folder to your project's source folder. However, this is not the recommended approach. Generally, you want to use `spine-libgdx` by depending on it via `Maven` or `Gradle`.
 
 ## Maven & Gradle
 The spine-libgdx runtime is released to Maven Central through SonaType. We also deploy snapshot builds on every commit to the repository via [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/actions).

-The version number is composed of the editor number at the time of release of the Maven artifact plus a patch number at the end. E.g. `4.0.18.1` means editor version `4.0.18`, and patch version `1` for the runtime. The editor version is updated everytime a new editor release is performed, the patch version is updated everytime a new fix or enhancement is released in the runtime.
+Up until Spine 4.0, the version number is composed of the editor number at the time of release of the Maven artifact plus a patch number at the end.

+Starting from Spine 4.1, the version number is composed of the corresponding editor `major.minor` version, and runtime update version for the runtime. E.g. `4.1.10` means editor version 4.1, runtime update version 10. All runtime versions are compatible with the exports from the correspongind `major.minor` editor version.
