Not as awesome as....?
Hi Friends, I happened to be looking through the Release Notes which now appear on the website, under each of the versions of Inkscape which are available for download. I noticed for some of the 0.48.x versions, under Known Issues, it says
"Not as awesome as 0.91"
For 0.48.3.1 it says "not as awesome as 0.49" which might be a clue these items were added around the time the decision was made to jump from 0.48 to 0.91. So apparently this was done on the wiki, and just made the transfer to the website recently.
That doesn't sound especially professional to me. It sounds like a joke actually. Especially when there are no other known issues listed! (https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.48/?latest=1)
If it's supposed to be some kind of motivation to upgrade, I think there probably is a more professional way to do it. I mean, it's not even a release note, since 0.91 was not made when 0.48.x was released. For goodness sakes!
But I really think it should be removed. Or at the very least, re-worded. Is there some reason for that, which I haven't imagined yet?
All best, brynn
PS - I'd offer to delete them, except I don't appear to have access to those pages.
Also, the about screen is not showing on the download pages for versions earlier than 0.48.5. Shall I make an Issue report? Or is someone currently working on it?
I don't know. I hear Apples key notes every year touting "Best iPhone we have ever made." Its redundant because of course its the best one, its supposed to be an upgrade. I guess marketing hype is kind of like that. It only sounds good if you don't think too hard about it.
I say go with your gut on it.

Thanks Gord. But unfortunately, when I click Release, it turns blue, and that's all. There's no edit button. I'm not so much a website developer, as someone who watches out for the contents.
(Originally I created a lot of the contents, but only the simple pages. There's a lot of the site I just don't have access to, because I don't understand it.)
All best, brynn

Brynn,
To edit the page, when you're on the page, click on "Release" in the header, then "Edit Release"
