LEH-2 to LEH-3 upgrade not showing in check for content updates

[Λύχνις Δαν]

Hi ya,

 

  This is not an especial problem for me but mention it in case something should be corrected or it indicates a bigger problem.

 

  I noticed this morning that there is an LEH 3rd edition and that there is an upgrade from the 2nd Edition. Check for Content update does not show the paid upgrade option. I'm not sure whether it should or whether this is considered a new module rather than an upgrade despite the existence of an upgrade option.

 

thx

Thanks! Give me a bit and I'll add it.

I saw this, it looks interesting, I was thinking of doing the upgrade, but I'm not sure how different the new edition is.

The differences are described on the product upgrade page as: In this third edition, previous misprints have been corrected and references have been updated.

 

Looks like mostly corrections, not new content, from that description. If you have the second edition, it's a $10 upgrade.

If it is one misprint and a handful of references I'd save that $10 for my coffee budget  If there is a more significant revamp going on, id happily pay more than $10

Hi Ιακοβ

 

It appears to be not much changed. The new intro is very short and this part is probably the most directly relevant.

 

"Misprints that have come to the fore since the publication of 2003 and occasionally were brought to our attention by users, have been corrected. Moreover, a number of additions and revisions have been incorporated. Most of them are based on my unpublished doctoral dissertation and have been presented for approval to J. LUST and E. EYNIKEL. Finally, all bibliographical references labeled as “forthcoming” in the edition of 2003 have been adapted."

 

There are now 16963 entries as opposed to 16948 in the 2nd edition - a net gain of 15 entries it would appear. I haven't identified those that have changed because I haven't been able to construct a query between the two yet to find them. Easier enough to do between texts but between tools it can be difficult.

 

So not greatly changed but a cheap upgrade and you get to keep both.

 

Thx

You get to keep both? That makes it worth it for me then. It frustrates me no end when people tell me to turn to page xyz, and either the module doesn't have page numbers, or its the wrong edition

I have both installed on both my Mac and Win machines.

 

Thx
