Default Current GURPS Errata?

Can anyone point me to the current GURPS Errata page please?
The stickied thread here links to a page that apparently hasn't been updated in over 4 years.

You're looking at it chief. Not much has been errataed* in the last years.


* Aside from DFRPG that is.

PDFs comprise the bulk of new releases and they can just fix them. Most of the printed material has had years of eyes on it so errata have been pretty much caught.

Thanks both.

I think it's still important, even if SJG doesn't consider it a priority.
What with PoD being a thing, customers are still buying hardcopies, and it's useful to be able to annotate in those instances.

Thats why I replied, it is a priority. Here is the thing I think your missing, that I was trying to say. Errata has to be published for printed books because whats printed cant be edited. But PDFs get fixed so we dont need the errata list, we get that when we get the notice from SJG of a file update on our W23 accounts and its posted in the "file update thread".

They even push updates to the POD files so the latest POD has the latest errata. I think anything on POD has been out for years already so its errata has mostly been caught.
Every once in awhile something new comes along but between the quality editing work and time in PDF for customers to catch it those errors are surprisingly few and far between.

Which smacks into my gripe that I've had for awhile now, this does no good for those of us with printed books.

Even if I have the pdfs, and they are updated, SJGames is just pushing creating an errata list onto the customer base, when they should already have one.

I personally feel that an errata list would still be useful for a PDF- when changes have been made to a PDF I have already read, it would be nice to be able to learn what they are, rather than having to reread the book from cover to cover and probably overlook the changes anyway.

I can't help but agree with both of these sentiments.
