#7 Cannot update to latest jshint (download link returns 404)

[Yop83]

Bug summary:
When trying to update jshint to latest version, a file is downloaded, but it turns out to be an html of github's 404 error page.

Environment:
Windows 7
Notepad++ v6.2
JsLint plugin v0.8.0.116

Steps to repro:
1. Go to plugins -> jslint -> Settings
2. In JSHint script source section, Pick "Downloaded from GitHub".
3. Click on "Download Latest..."
4. Open the file in %appdata%\Notepad++\plugins\config\JSLint\jshint.[LATEST_DATE].js

Expected results:
5. The file should contain related to jshint.

Actual results:
5. The file contains github's 404 html.

Fixed in 0.8.1

This is now re-broken.

The new link used in the plugin (http://www.jshint.com/src/js/jshint.js) seems to be dead now.

From the web site, you are offered: http://jshint.com/get/jshint-1.1.0.js
(but it does contains a version number inside)

If you need me to open a new ticket, just reply and I'll do it.

Aha.
That kinda explains the "Invalid JSLint script!" error.

looks at previous post date
... Right. Got it. ...

I get the "Invalid JSLint script!" error too.

Is there a patch to get it works?

Solved in 0.8.2
