Hello The "latest_snapshot.txt" files on the website were broken (for years). Things are now fixed and improved. And they are also explicitly documented on the main web page.
If you want the version string of the latest release or release candidate, read https://www.open-mpi.org/software/hwloc/current/downloads/latest_snapshot.txt => currently returns "2.4.1" If you want the latest on the specific release series, replace "current" with "vX.Y", for instance https://www.open-mpi.org/software/hwloc/v2.0/downloads/latest_snapshot.txt => returns "2.0.4" Note that release candidates are returned when they exist, so you may get "2.4.2rc1" until "2.4.2" is really released. This doesn't apply to major release candidates such as 2.5.0rcX (because "current" won't point to "v2.5" until the final 2.5.0 is released).
