Such a page might also be a good place to have a table of past releases. For the most part those don't matter much for users, but the question of where to get them does pop up now and then so having an official listing of links to historical packages *somewhere* in the website would be nice.
There is a list of past releases on the releases page. But perhaps you'd like a page that shows a more robust list with descriptions and such?
https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.91/
See list of 'Versions' and 'In development', it's a fairly complete list.
I've noticed the development snapshots often want to have additional directions or tips, which can look a bit cluttery / jargony and thus potentially a big source of confusion.
In any case, probably not worth overthinking here, especially given that there's a new releases app coming. The main thing is to keep things looking neat & tidy for the release.
If you can force the use of the releases app, it'll force fixes and tweaks. Otherwise I fear a cms downloads page will continue to be a toxic workaround stopping us from finishing the app.
select it instead of their platform page...
Ah, yeah we had the same thought. :-)
I don't understand.
- Martin created some for 0.91 and the pre-releases - maybe he's
still got the file? Here are a couple of examples: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/=inkscape-package/
Yeah would be nice to get that into the inkscape bzr tree, then perhaps I could make it part of the release process to make a copy with the new version number, that can then be used on all the uploads.
Makes sense, a useful image for each of these things. I'm trying to make the about page art more universal by updating different parts of the website with the art too. I'd like these icons to use the art is possible too.
So pre-about screen we'd use the standard developer/pre-release graphics.
