Re: synApps 5.6 release

Dear folks,  It looks like the problem that was interfering with synApps 5.6 downloads has been fixed, at least temporarily.  Evidently, some firewall component saw a string of bytes that it didn't like.  I don't know what this means in the longer term.

Thx for the update but it seems that downloading the file completely is
not possible. It stops after ~35MB with an error 408. I've checked it
from different locations as well as different browsers.
