To make sure I understand this correctly: you'd rather have that info on
the front page, instead of navigating to the "Download" page to get the
FreeDOS 1.3 RC5 or FreeDOS 1.2? (Both RC5 and 1.2 are listed on the
"Download" page.)

I'm trying to avoid adding too many buttons. But what if the front page had
(above the "Download FreeDOS" link/button) some tags or other highlighted
text that said "FreeDOS 1.2" and "FreeDOS 1.3 RC5"? Would that be a useful
way to communicate the versions without adding too much text?

(Hopefully this is a short-lived problem. Once 1.3 "final" is out there,
I'll stop advertising FreeDOS 1.2 on the website. (1.2 will still be on the
Files Archive at Ibiblio, but the www website will just have download links
for 1.3.)
