Re: [gnusim8085-devel] [Gnusim8085-devel] GNUSim8085 1.3.6 released

[Sridhar R. <sri...@gm...>]

Congrats on the release!

Just a gripe: Users visiting http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnusim8085/ might
end up downloading older releases; can we:

1/ disable that big green download button in SF project page
2/ add a note to direct users to the launchpad site for downloads
3/ disable that big green download button in
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnusim8085/files/
4/ Add a note to http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnusim8085/files/ to tell
visitors to that page that they are seeing old releases and the new ones are
available at launchpad

?
