Dawsonera ebooks - downloading via Digital Editions needs latest version

We've had this message from the Dawsonera team:

We would like to advise all dawsonera users that it is our immediate recommendation to ensure that all instances of Digital Editions (desktop & mobile applications) are running version 4.5.x and that the latest version of the software should always be upgraded as soon as it becomes available.

On the 19th December 2018 we will be undertaking modifications and security enhancements to dawsonera that might cause issues when trying to open ebooks in older versions of Digital Editions. We therefore ask you to check that you are running Digital Editions 4.5.x and to upgrade the software if you are running an older version to ensure the best user experience possible.

This only refers to downloading the ebook to your device, not to reading it online, and only when selecting Adobe Digital Editions under Select Reader.
