Hi WanMil
the new mkgmap version now appears at other builds but the main download
still links to r2889. Can you please have a look on it if you are back
again?
OK I have now set it so that it should be updated tonight.
And thanks for posting the news item about it. I was going to suggest
that we need such a post and that you (and Gerd) are able to post
updates yourselves, but then I saw that you discovered that anyway ;)
I'll quickly explain what is happening with the download page.
A while back someone on the forums said that it was confusing to know
which build to download. I thought that was a fair comment for
someone coming to the project for the first time.
So I added the green download button which is meant to be for a
reasonably stable version. On the other hand a new build is created
for every commit to trunk and the branches immediately after they are
committed.
I don't really know the best way to update the 'green' download
so suggestions are welcome. Currently it updates every night to the
latest version unless a particular version has been pinned.
I was thinking of a way to mark a particular build as bad if
it had regressions and a way to stop updates for a few days
after a merge or something simple like that.
For reference: the following binary and source
formats are produced for every build. They all exist for
each build (trunk and branch) whether linked to or not.
mkgmap-rNNN.jar
mkgmap-rNNN.tar.gz
mkgmap-rNNN.zip
mkgmap-rNNN-src.zip
mkgmap-rNNN-src.tar.gz
The -rNNN- part can be replaced with -latest- in any of these to get
the most up to date version.
Everything is exactly the same for splitter.

Hi Steve,
thanks for the explanation! I think the big green download button is a
good idea!
Maybe we can track the latest stable version number in Subversion?
Create a file called stable.version that contains the stable Subversion
revision. This revision is checked out for building the stable release.
This would allow all committers to change the stable release.
As a rule of thumb we should update the stable release around once a
month. People who want to work with the latest release can download them
in the list below. That sounds fair enough.
