https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/1748 I have set the default download file to 0.98.5, however, the setting doesn't seem to stick.

It does include the easy-to-miss caveat right underneath it (on certain pages, but not on others, depending on how you get to it): Warning This is a generic Subversion checkout command which will pull all modules, tags and/or branches of the project. Please refer to project home page for specific SVN instructions, or use "Browse Repository" link; in most cases, you will want to add '/trunk' to the HTTPS URL above to check out only trunk (main development line). It's nice to see Sourceforge putting some effort into usability improvements again (though the roll-out has been less than perfect). Hopefully these sorts of things will finally get addressed.
