That makes sense, however the reason I was asking is that I am the maintainer of the MacPorts matplotlib port and I wanted to a way to check for the latest release, I had been using a regex to the check the latest version as displayed on home page but when this was updated to the svn release this broke. Also as the 0.98.5.3 release is not a specific release but a sub release of 0.98.5 I can't use the sourceforge downloads page to query this. It would be really helpful if a page was provided that listed the latest stable release that packagers could use to automatically query.
