The actual program was renamed on 06/15/11 to TeXstudio . The latest version is 2.6.4 available on SourceForge. The maintainer of the port has no interest in updating the port and would probably be happy to turn it over to you. I was going to update it, but time and job constraints are making it more difficult than I thought. Plus, with the changes in the port's system, I just don't have the time to learn the new protocols and get the port ready. I might be able to give you some assistance, but that would be about it. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
