Re: [Squid2-user] SQUID2 Open Source Software release [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[<And...@ga...>]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for alerting us to the Sourceforge problem. Since about Wednesday of this week Sourceforge changed its website in order to test a new and ‘improved’ system for downloading software. However, for the SQUID2 OSS project this turned out to be a downgrade as the green DOWNLOAD button now points to a previous version of the software. To download the newest version of the software either click on the ‘View all files’ button and select squid2-v2.50_r13.zip or select the same file from under the ‘Project Feed’ heading. I have notified Sourceforge support of our problem and hopefully it will be fixed shortly.

To join the SQUID2 user group, go to the SQUID2 site, click on Support, then squid2-user and fill in your details.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/squid2/

Cheers,

Andrew Cross

Hi again Andrew

This time I was able to download the latest version 'r13'?  The Sourceforge web page has a big green DOWNLOAD button which, unfortunately, is NOT linked to the latest version.

My problem arose because GSWA IT security would not allow me to download the files myself.  Instead, they did it for me, and got the 'r6' version from the green button. Is there a reason for the button being linked to an earlier version?

Cheers
MW

Hi Andrew

The installation file says to install the add-in Squid2.50.09.06.12.xla

but the version that we can download is: Squid2.50.09.05.28.xla
which doesn't appear to have several of the fixes and improvements made by Ken when he was here in Perth, such as grouping by 8-corr 7/6.

Can you please verify which version is the latest one??

Thanks
MW

 Dear SHRIMPers,

Geoscience Australia is pleased to announce that SQUID2.50 has been released as Open Source Software (OSS) and is freely available to all on the Sourceforge website. Details of the SQUID2 release into the OSS environment, system requirements and installation instructions are included in the attached document (SQUID2_OSSProject_InstallationGuide.pdf).

To use SQUID-2.50 you must install the latest version of Isoplot (isoplot3nx.xla) which is also available on the Sourceforge website. Removing previous versions of SQUID, SQUID2 and Isoplot and installing the latest versions from Sourceforge can be a complicated process and we strongly recommend that you carefully read the ‘SQUID2 installation Guide’ on page 7 of the attached document.


The latest version of SQUID-2 is available on Sourceforge at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/squid2/


The latest version of Isoplot is available on Sourceforge at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/isoplot/


We urge all SQUID2 users to read the attached document (SQUID2_OSSProject_InstallationGuide.pdf) for more information regarding our OSS project. Importantly, we encourage that users sign up to the SQUID2 mailing list to receive news of SQUID2 developments and notification of new SQUID2 releases. You can sign up to the SQUID2 mailing list by going to the SQUID2 Sourceforge website (http://sourceforge.net/projects/squid2/ ), click on Public → Mailing Lists → Subscribe/Unsubscribe/Preferences and fill in you details.

GA has established SQUID-2 as an Open Source Software project with the aim to encourage community involvement in its future development. We therefore welcome your input and participation in all aspects of the SQUID2 OSS project.

Please forward this e-mail onto colleagues in your work group and others you think will be interested.
