New Distribution Location
=========================
Version 1.0 of MathJax was distributed through `SourceForge`, but the
development of MathJax has switched to `GitHub
<https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/>`_, which is now the primary location
for MathJax source code and distributions. The SourceForge repository will
no longer be avtively maintained (and hasn't been since November 2010), and
so you will not be able to obtain updates through ``svn`` if you checked
out MathJax from there.
You may be able to switch to using the MathJax CDN (see above) rather than
hosting your own copy of MathJax, and avoid the problem of updates all
together. If you must install your own copy, however, you should follow
the instructions at :ref:`Installing and Testing MathJax <installation>`,
using either ``git`` or ``svn`` as described to obtain your copy from
GitHub. This will allow you to keep your copy of MathJax up to date as
development continues.
We apologize for the inconvenience of having to switch distributions, but
the git-to-svn bridge we tried to implement to keep both copies in synch
turned out to be unreliable, and so the SourceForge disrtibution was
retired in favor of the GitHub site.
