May 11, 2015 2.067 release, WTF is this UI ? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
So on the main website, I get notified that a new version of D exists (and also that DConf is soon, but it doesn't matter). So, I wanted to update dmd on the computer I'm on, great ! I'm clocking on that. And this is where it brings me: http://dlang.org/changelog.html#2.067.1 Not really what I expected. I'm happy to know what are the bugzilla issue have been fixed, but I don't really care if I can't use it. No download link to be seen. Maybe this 2.067 link in the title will help me... It is not a download link, but that is the only prominent one, so it must be there. Well, now I'm getting there: http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.067.1/ . A raw salad of link, the one I'm interested lost in the middle. No instructions to install or anything. Does anyone is actually thinking about what the people visiting the website want to see ? Is the goal to increase pages views by getting people lost ? How come I never stumble on something like this http://dlang.org/download.html ? | ||||

The large "Download" link at the top of the sidebar links there...

You're right, there should be a link to http://dlang.org/download from either the middle of the main page or the top of the changelog. I assume you will submit a PR for this, now that you noticed this. :) | |||
