Usecases.. checking for releases, both new and, sometimes historic research, old ones. A fileindex has a "tabular" appearance where each "row" contains filename and date, and that table be sorted primarily by filename with no extra grouping, so that wayland-* and weston-* releases are not interspersed. The release page is the antithesis to that: it presents items like a blog rather than a filelisting, grouped by date with a static reverse-date ordering, and grouping different filenames by date as well. Imagine if `ls -l` did that all the time. _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
