For the last month (all of March 2015) or so, the default download link on sourceforge for Robocode is not the latest version (1.9.x.y) of robocode.

Rather, it's version 0.9.x of "naval robocode" -- though it does not say "naval" in the link. This is causing confusion for students in my robocode club, who are inadvertently downloading/installing the wrong thing, and find it difficult to navigate through the "files" interface to find the correct thing.

Can the default version link be corrected (i.e. directed to latest version)?

    Thanks for the notification about this issue.

    There is no direct support for changing the default link. This is automatically changed when a new file is uploaded. So I downloaded and uploaded Robocode 1.9.2.4 again so it appears to be the newest file. :-)

    Thanks Flemming! I was under the impression that the file settings in Sourceforge's files interface could be set (via the "i" icon in the files list) as default versions for different platforms. (I use this in another Sourceforge project). But maybe that doesn't work when newer files appear, for some reason?

    You are welcome. :-)

    You are right. Normally it can be set via the "i" icon). But for some reason, I am not able to do this for Robocode. It might be a bug at SourceForge or some configuration, I don't understand.
