IMHO, just link to the top page, "can be downloaded from tomcat.apache.org". I do not think that common landing page for downloads is necessary, though I have seen projects that have one. We can discuss what good examples are there. One certain thing: if such page is made, please make it static so that Release Managers wouldn't be required to update it for each release. Also we have other projects besides Tomcat here (mod_jk, taglibs, maven plugin). The top page has one (latest) announcement for each project and those have a download link. > Also, is Tomcat 9 considered the current Stable version or is it still > in Beta? I don't recall seeing any announcements about it being Stable > but it's possible that I just missed that. It was not so long ago, though it feels like a lot of time has passed. All announcements can be found in the "old news" link on the web site, as well as in multiple archives of the "announcement@tomcat" mailing list. The actual votes are available in archives of the "VOTE" threads of dev@. Once a version is votes as "stable", it is announced as stable. There is not much magic here. Releases up to 9.0.0.M26 (2017-08-08) were alpha, 9.0.1 (2017-11-30) and 9.0.2 (2017-11-30) were beta, 9.0.4 (2018-01-22) was the first stable release. http://tomcat.apache.org/oldnews.html http://tomcat.apache.org/oldnews-2017.html Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
