Hi, I'm just merging and preparing for the vote thread on NB 11.1. And while I'm waiting on things, thinking about website requirements as I know some changes are underway already.
At present the Downloads link goes directly to http://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb110/nb110.html I don't think we should directly link NB 11.1 in that way. Now we have LTS and non-LTS, we need to consider how we present LTS and non-LTS to end users, and make sure links to both remain easily available. My thought is that we should make the main menu Download go (revert) to http://netbeans.apache.org/download/ and edit that page to include a short intro to release schedule and which version to choose. And move everything that isn't latest LTS and non-LTS on to sub-pages? eg something like. # Download Apache NetBeans is released four times a year. Our April release is a long-term support (LTS) release that benefits from our famous NetCAT community testing process, and will remain available and supported for a year. Our other quarterly releases provide early access to new features. ## Apache NetBeans 11 feature update 1 (NB 11.1) Latest release of the IDE, released on July XX, 2019. [Features][Download] ## Apache NetBeans 11 LTS (NB 11.0) Latest LTS version of the IDE, released on April 4, 2019. [Features][Download] ## Older releases Older Apache NetBeans releases and pre-Apache NetBeans releases can still be downloaded, but are no longer supported.
