The new version is up--remember to refresh your page to see it.

Changes
  • New sections on some MX Tools, Static DNS, few others
  • Many new and revised images
  • Bunch of corrections

Gordon's PDF is up too, and he will post info for translators.

Use this thread for corrections and comments/suggestions, though nothing is going to be changed (except something critical) for a good long while for lack of time.

Thank you all for this update.

Translation Update Information.

In opening this thread, Jerry has provided a summary of the changes in this July 2016 version of the MX15 Manual. Most of the text changes are in the early Manual Sections
and will require some updating of translations already completed. The revision of images - done principally to reduce file sizes - is spread through most Sections.

Like Jerry, I am going to be short on spare time - for July at least - so will not attempt to update all the translations that were previously published in this forum.
New machine translations for the languages that we know are being worked on, that is : French, German, Greek, Italian and Spanish will be available from links in this thread ASAP. Hope to provide a list of the updates too. Will be happy to add other languages if required. Just ask on this forum thread. Will be contacting Bicyclist56 about the Russian translation too.

I always wonder about this one. In web design I often worked with source and a browser window adjacent, hitting refresh when I wanted to preview changes. I recall setting my browser to load page always as opposed to using a cached version at that time too. I can't seem to find a similar setting in more recent times.

Thanks to Gordon for all the work involved.

Also have had refresh problems here. F5 usually works but not always, so these days I clear the cache when in doubt.

Jerry is the person to thank for all the work on the manual, I'm very definitely the sub-Ed on this job.

Hope to post the Google translations tomorrow.

Congratulations for the great work.
I saw a point in the new version of manual where it seems there is an error, or rather a loss.
In Paragraph “3.3.2Graphic driver”, after the line “When it finishes, type: service lightdm start to start lightdm and xorg again.” and before of “Basic adjustment”
I think that should be the name of a paragraph, for example “3.3.3 Fonts” as it was in the previous version of the manual.
