Yes, you can simply copy that URL to the home page. You will need to update
it each time you make a release.

In theory, it is also possible to craft an URL that would also provide a
zip of the latest with a particular tag, such as "release". Not sure if
this is a good idea, but it would eliminate the need to update the home
page for each release. (Personally, I prefer to
explicitly update my download page for each release.)

To have a file appear in only one version in the repository:
    fossil add path/to/file
    fossil commit -m 'comment about file being added' # the ID of this
commit is the version containing the file.
    fossil rm path/to/file
    fossil commit -m 'Make it so this file only appears in the previous
commit'

You can add more than one file this way. To access the file, it will be
necessary to refer to it using the commit ID of the version containing the
file. (Alternately, you can use the artifact ID of the file.)
