i don't see your point. the current way of showing the "last" release and making all available via downloads/<projects>/ seems to work for all¹ projects but cyclone. since i don't see anything special about cyclone, there must be a misunderstanding of how to use that page. for instance, take the "pure-data" [1] project: it has all the old and obsolete releases (just click on "releases"), and still the casual user will be presented with the most up-to-date release on the front-page. ok, you might say that Pd does traditional releases (rather than just tag something on gitlab). another example is the "purr-data" [2] project, which uses github as a distribution mechanism; albert just created a dummy release that will show upfront and which points to github). you can also mix and match the two. e.g. in Gem (known for it's frequent releases) [3], there's traditional releases coexisting with mere references to an externally hosted repository. > If having that particular version of cyclone available is the > concern, let's put it up in deken, I can work on that. btw, you might not be aware of that, but deken (the plugin) works nicely with https://puredata.info/downloads/. as long as the files uploaded for a release match the deken naming convention, they will show up in the search results (e.g. zexy does this). unfortunately the deken-cmdline utility cannot be used (yet(?)) to upload the release files to https://puredata.info/downloads/, sou you have to do that manually. gmsdr IOhannes ¹ i'm sure that more projects are not entirely happy; but of the ~160 software projects available, i've heard very few complaints. i don't think i am *that* intimidating.
