**Release date:** 27 September 2019

**Appkit SDK version in this release**: 4.6.0

See the [Appkit 4.6.0 release notes](/docs/4/app-studio/release-notes/appkit/4.6.0-release-notes) for other changes.

In apps created with this version of Fusion App Studio, you can **Upgrade Appkit in Existing Apps**. For a list of Appkit versions, see [the Appkit Release Notes](/docs/4/app-studio/release-notes/appkit/overview).

<Accordion title="Upgrade Appkit in Existing Apps">
  When you create an Appkit webapp, it uses a specific version of Appkit. Appkit releases occur independently of App Studio releases.

  You can upgrade web apps to use the latest version of Appkit.

  **How to upgrade**

  1. Stop the app.
  2. In the `package.json` file at the root of your project, update the `appkit-ui` dependency to the latest Appkit version, for example:

     ```json theme={"dark"}
     "appkit-ui": "http://appkit.lucidworks.com/repo/4.2.0/appkit-ui.tar.gz",
     ```
  3. In the `pom.xml` file at the root of your project, update the value of the `parent.version` property to the latest Appkit version, for example:

     ```xml theme={"dark"}
         <parent>
             <groupId>twigkit</groupId>
             <artifactId>twigkit.app.js</artifactId>
             <version>4.2.0</version>
         </parent>
     ```
  4. Upgrade the Appkit Social module, if required.
  5. Perform any additional upgrade steps that are required for a specific Appkit upgrade. See the [Appkit Release Notes](/docs/4/app-studio/release-notes/appkit/overview) for more information.
  6. Start the app.

## New features

There are no new App Studio features in this release.

## Bug Fixes

* **Security configuration.** The Fusion security configuration (`/conf/security/fusion.conf`) is now generated using the correct realm parameter, `realm` instead of `realm-name`.

* **Compatibility with IE11.** Webapps created with App Studio are now compatible with Internet Explorer 11.
