I don't see a difference and in fact it is more work. In today's mode: you update one page. a) update Latest release b) move the old release to previous releases. (Note: I think previous releases should be on the same page).
For every release I suppose we will have alteast 1 or 1.5 pages of information i.e. the release related info and the two tables. Do you mean we move all of this to the 'Previous Release' section. If we did this by the end of this year we will have several pages to scroll down to. In your proposal: Have a page for each release and then link it back to
latest releases page.
Yes.. the pages are short and concise. There is just about a list of releases and the user can choose any one and then get to read up what the release contains and what is downloadable on a diff. pages. This is not much overhead - what is more is just a couple of lines. Are we making this too complicated? My preference would be to convert the
table we currently have into something readable that has a link to readme for the release on the same page. I'll add a sample to the page so we can take a look.
