New Version Notification & Desktop Setup File Name

[Jon]

@shekharsom

Also, when we download the file, the setup file name is Manager.msi. Can we have this appended with version number so that we know if we have already downloaded the previous one.

This has been suggested previously. See the other thread for the response I received to a very similar suggestion.

Continuing the discussion from Website request: New releases/Changelog:

@Jon

Can the release process be improved, please?

Most simply, it would be tremendously helpful if the download page would display the current version of the program, and if the downloaded installation file included the version number in its file name. Especially since the changelog isn’t always as up to date as the download file, it would be helpful to know before downloading and installing a package exactly what version that file is for.

Even better, it would be very helpful to have two release cycles: A current/nightly version that has all of the latest fixes and tweaks, and a stable version that might go back a week or two or three. Oftentimes recently, because the releases come so frequently, there are new tweaks that break some functionality before they get fixed a day or two later. Some users may prefer to wait a little longer for a stable release, while others may want to have all the tweaks the moment they’re created even if it means that a few things might not work as expected.
