Hi,
I just downloaded the newest version of Texmaker to my new computer and this warning "LaTeX Warning: You have requested release `2014/05/01' of LaTeX, but only release `2011/06/27' is available" keeps showing up every time I compile. This seems to be the reason that every time I edit my document the changes do not appear in the PDF view after I select 'view pdf'. I should note that I started this document on other computer which already had texmaker on it and it worked fine. The version of texmaker would've been probably a year older. Please help!
General ⇒ "You have requested the wrong release" error
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

"You have requested the wrong release" error
Hi and welcome,
TeXmaker is just an editor, that makes typing your document code a bit more comfortable using colored text and a nice Compile button.
But the real compilation, which is done in the background, is done by a binary file that has loaded a LaTeX format. This came with a distribution, either TeX Live or MiKTeX. I don't know which one you have, but you need to upload that one.
Careful: In the last few years, quite a few changes took place. Your document might stop compiling. Which package tells you that warning/error message?

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
