the naming scheme used to name the download archives is not consistent, for example:

  • FreeRTOSV8.2.3.zip
  • FreeRTOS_V9.0.0rc2.zip
  • FreeRTOSv9.0.0.zip

more specifically it uses either lower or upper case letters, optional underscores, not to mention that release candidates for one version are stored in another version folder.

this makes writing an automated tool to download the zip archives unnecesarily complicated.

suggestions:

  • use a script to create the archive, this will ensure consistent names
  • do not mix different versions in the same folder

    Thank you for your feedback (although the support forum may have been a better place to provide it ;o) It is not our intention to make your life harder. Previously release candidates have been placed in their own folder, but that meant we could not have a single link to allow downloaders to select whether they wanted to download the last official release, or the latest release candidate. So this time around it was decided to place both in one folder so both could be viewed at once - requiring less clicks by the user.
