though). They should at least be named as "dmd2_064_beta1.zip",
"dmd2_064_beta2.zip". And all of them should always be

regression was introduced in a specific beta version.
Please make it "dmd.2_064_beta1.zip" and "dmd.2_064_beta2.zip"
instead. This will automatically make it compatible with DVM.
The important thing here is "dmd.<whatever>".
IIRC, Walter wanted that file to always be named dmd.zip or
dmd2.zip or whatever, in order to allow a permanent download
link, while guaranteeing the file to be the latest version of the
tool.
In this case, I think the best compromise is simply to have the
latest version download-able either as dmd2.zip and as
dmd2.<version>.zip.
