Version 14 forced application update?

[PhantomMist]

I am using version 14 specifically the executable. I'm trying to login but it gives me the error "exceptions.LoginException: Please update your app to continue". Do i need to update to the latest version, if so. How can i verify that the newest version is safe for my computer to run? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Here is my screenshot

Version 14 is way, way too outdated to work in any way. The only currently working version is v16.dev, available as the current development build. It's quite stable as it is, but I still need to deal with a few issues here and there to declare it truly stable. The changes never stop piling up, but I'm slowly working through them.

How can I verify that the newest version is safe for my computer to run?

This is an open source application. All code is visible to you and everyone else right here in this repository. If you know how to read all or some of it, you can do this verification yourself. Otherwise, you have to rely on someone else doing that for you. Either way, you'll need to believe that it's safe, just as safe as v14 was. Behind the scenes, the twitch website is the only place from where the authorization token is obtained, and it's the only place where it's used.

If this isn't enough for you, you can wait for someone else to comment on this topic here I guess. Not using the app at all is also an option. I'm not forcing anyone to use it anyway.
