I don't know. Keep in mind it's been a long time since we cut a
release and occasionally SourceForge changes things. You'll want to
consult their current docs.

We were putting the betas on the web site just to avoid polluting the
SF Webware file release list with them since they are rather
temporary. I'm not religious about this. You can do that or make the
beta a real release.

Once you release on SF you'll want to tell the whole world. That note
is a reminder to download the release, unpack it and test the product
first.

Yeah ebad.pair.com is no more. If you still want to put an extra copy
of the release somewhere for when SF is broken, the web site would be
the place to do it.
