feel free to update it! From 'svn log' on the source for the downloads page I see that at least 4 committers know how to update it. >> Also noticed that on the download page in the left panel, derby >> 10.1.2.1 is listed instead of 10.1.3.1. Good catch -- and where to correct that isn't obvious. Here is the file: derby/site/trunk/src/documentation/content/xdocs/site.xml It has this entry: <latests label="10.1.2.1" href="releases/release-10.1.2.1.cgi"/> which could be changed to this: <latests label="10.1.3.1" href="releases/release-10.1.3.1.cgi"/> In fact, I'd recommend just removing that line since the latest download is in the table of contents for that page. > Also, the latest 10.1 snapshot on that page is older than the current > 10.1 release. That looks odd. I think this page needs some cleanup and > probably some rethinking. I'm going to be gone tomorrow (Friday) through the weekend and don't have time to make that change. But as I said up above, other committers know how to change this page, so feel free to do so. -jean
