It depended on me remembering to publish a nightly every night.\r\n    2.  Apparently you can't download binary files from GitHub (without\r\n        clicking the 'Raw' button, but I don't think it would occur to\r\n        too many people to do that).\r\n\r\n    So, instead, nightlies are now published on\r\n    http://nightly.learnyou.org/lysa . I put a cron job on the server to\r\n    build LYSA every day at midnight UTC time, so I don't have to remember\r\n    to do it.\r\n\r\n*   **New sidebar**\r\n\r\n    I redid the sidebar on this subreddit. \r\n\r\n    As evidenced by the little blob above, Reddit's markdown parser is\r\n    terrible. It appears to be having some trouble with the links at the\r\n    bottom of the sidebar, so here they all are for you:\r\n\r\n        * [Book outline][7]\r\n        * [Book website][6]\r\n        * [Contributing guide][4]\r\n        * [IRC Channel][2]\r\n        * [Issue tracker][3]\r\n        * [LaTeX style guide][8]\r\n        * Main author's email: `peter@harpending.org`\r\n        * [Nightly PDFs][1]\r\n        * [Russian translation][5]\r\n\r\n        [1]: http://nightly.learnyou.org/lysa\r\n        [2]: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=lysa\r\n        [3]: https://github.com/learnyou/lysa/issues\r\n        [4]: CONTRIBUTING.md\r\n        [5]: https://github.com/gazay/lysa\r\n        [6]: https://learnyou.org\r\n        [7]: OUTLINE.md\r\n        [8]: STYLE.md\r\n\r\n*   **New website and server**\r\n\r\n    I moved http://www.learnyou.org over to a new server. I also rewrote\r\n    most of the content on the site, as it was out-of-date.\r\n\r\nThat's all I can think of at the moment.
