    Hello Everyone,

    I want save people some time if they use 8.5 and github. As of today it is not possible to commit or pull with that version. Going to 8.6 works fine. I've tracked it down to the Eclipse version in 8.5 uses an outdated sslVersion. I've tried everything I can think of to make it work, but no luck. If anyone has had success making this work with 8.5 can they post it to the news group?

    SuperChromix came up with a solution on the other newsgroup

    I managed to fix this problem.

    I tried several things, including setting up SSH keys with my Github account, but this didn't seem to solve the issue.

    Next, I renamed the JRE folder here:

    C:\Program Files\Exelis\IDL85\bin\bin.x86_64\jre

    to "jre_old". I then created a new "jre" folder, and copied an installation of Java Runtime Environment 1.8.0.161 into the JRE folder.

    After restarting IDL, the Github problem was resolved.


    THe only thing different I had to do was for some reason windows wouldn't let me change the font directory in the lib folder, so I created a jre_new and just copied everything over. Deleted everything I could in in the jre, downloaded the new jre from here
    http://www.oracle.com/tec...wnloads-2133155.html
    created a jre_new folder to extract it into. And THEN copied everything over to the jre folder.

    This also worked on the Mac, except the path was slightly different and I only copied two directories in from the full install.

    I can't seem to attach a screenshot here so please see the other NG for how the OSX path is different.
