This is just a quick reminder that support for MiKTeX 2.6 and MiKTeX 2.7 ends at the end of the year:

MiKTeX 2.6/2.7 will be removed from CTAN on January 1st, 2011

In other words: December 31st is the last possible date for MiKTeX 2.6/2.7 updates over the Internet.

MiKTeX 2.6/2.7 users are encouraged to switch to MiKTeX 2.9 (to be released in October).
