Download webpage is outdated

[<gnu...@t4...>]

This came up on IRC earlier; http://www.gnuplot.info/ says the current
stable version is 4.2.4. Clicking on download under "Current released
version" indeed takes one to a version 4.2.4 download. However,
clicking download under "gnuplot homepage" at the top leads to the page
http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/download.html, which says the current
version is 4.2.3. Can whoever has write access to the website update that
little inconsistency?

I wanted to update the text, but I cannot log onto sourceforge to do it 
since several weeks. When I do
	ssh gnuplot.sourceforge.net
then I get
	port 22: Connection refused.

Somebody knows what is going wrong?

P.M.

Yes. When SourceForge moved their operations to a new set of machines
at the beginning of last month (September), they dropped support for
shell login.  In order to access files on the web site you must use
sftp or the equivalent.  You will need to do something like:

   > sftp mikulik,gn...@fr... 
   sftp> cd htdocs
   sftp> get download.html

   [edit locally]

   sftp> put download.html

I will add it to my list of things to do whenever a release happens.
