Hi Dan,

Sorry, we've been waiting to put up a 1.4 release announcement until the dmg's were built, which finished last night. I'll be posting a new announcement this morning.

Yes, 1.4.0 is final.

Sorry about the other pages: you may have found darwinports.com, which is run by a third party that tries to make money off of our project. Our old site, darwinports.org, redirects to macports.org, our official site. The old site at darwinports.opendarwin.org _should_ be made to redirect to www.macports.org (and now does).

And about there being no "about" page, I fall on the mercy of the court.

Hi all.

I've decided to use MacPorts for my Intel-based MacBook, but the web pages seem a bit confusing. First, the DarwinPorts page looks as if it's still active. The only mention of the switch to MacPorts is in a news entry. And even in that there's no link to the new website. The rest of the DarwinPorts site still looks like nothing has changed. It seems to me that that page should be completely changed to be just a single page that tells people that the DarwinPorts project has transitioned to the MacPorts project and gives
them a big link over the the MacPorts page.

Second, the MacPorts page doesn't have much infomration. No "About" page
explaining anything. And most importantly, nothing explaining what the
"current stable version" is. So when I go to Downloads I see DarwinPorts 1.3.2 and MacPorts 1.4, yet since the Website doesn't have any information
about this 1.4 release, I don't know if this is alpha, beta, or what.

Can someone please explain what the deal is with this MacPorts 1.4 release? Is that the current recommended download or is it just an alpha or a beta?

Thanks
--Dan
