Steve Rowe commented on LUCENE-5631:
------------------------------------
The project has taken several steps in the opposite direction, intentionally
making it *harder* to access releases (and docs) for older versions, to
encourage people to choose the most recent version.
> Improve access to archived versions of Lucene and Solr

> Key: LUCENE-5631
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5631
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: general/website
> Reporter: Shawn Heisey
>
> When visiting the website to download Lucene or Solr, it is very difficult
> for people to locate where to download previous versions. The archive link
> does show up when you click the download link, but the page where it lives is
> replaced in less than a second by the CGI for picking a download mirror for
> the current release. There's nothing there for previous versions.
> At a minimum, we need a link to the download archive that's right below the
> main Download link. Something else I think we should do (which might
> actually be an INFRA issue, as this problem exists for other projects too)
> would be to have the "closer.cgi" page include a link to the archives.
