In principle, both. These names could certainly be applied to the download directory, and we could use them also in the documentation. It is a bit debian-like. Everything has a real name and a symbolic name (more a role name). Simon -- Simon Pepping home page: http://www.leverkruid.nl

Care to do that? Or what do you prefer? When I visit a site with software, I expect the name latest to point to the latest stable distribution. The latest unstable distribution could be named something like development, unstable, testing or next. The file latest/.htaccess points to fop/0.20.5, and I think that is best.

Re: latest and other symbolic names
I should have browsed a bit further. fop and batik already use current, as do several other projects in the xml subdirectory.
