Description

The current download site is information overload. I've had a few colleagues and clients being confused about which links to click because it's all cobbled together on that one page.

I think the downloads page should link to a separate download page for each release. This will make it clearer which download links belong to each release.

Yes, I agree. I'll try to do something about it. Is there any format that you like? For example, put each release on a separate page, and put links to these on the first page. The first page will become kind of empty though, so maybe we should put the current release on the main page then link to previous releases and current alpha/beta/release candidate (if any).

I was thinking something like:

In the main page...

Latest Beta Release (1.2.0beta2)
Current Release (1.1.0)
Previous Releases

  • 1.0.2
  • 1.0.1
  • ...

And for each release (page), have something like:

Release Notes
Source Code

  • ...

Windows Installers

  • ...

Patches

  • ...

Samples

  • ...
