Might it be better to call this GCA 4.2 or something similar that has a 4 to correlate it with 4th Edition? Just a suggestion.

GCA3 also supported GURPS 4th Edition, it just wasn't released by SJGames.

Mostly, official sources just refer to it as GURPS Character Assistant without the number, but obviously that would be counterproductive right now when it's not officially released yet, and we need to differentiate between the programs.

(GCA5 is s a huge update of nearly everything the program is made of, and requires all new sheets, different character formats, etc. I don't feel like a minor version number change gets that point across.)
