Release dates at https://www.contextfreeart.org/downloads.html

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hello John and others,

I think I discovered context-free in ... I don't quite remember. It was many years ago, though.

Since I have discovered it, I am looking back at it regularly, every some weeks or few months or so, give or take, especially at the gallery.

I also update the code every now and then, and in order to do this, I actually go to the "oldschool" page at:

https://www.contextfreeart.org/downloads.html

This leads me to the issue request here - would it be possible to also mention the release date at downloads.html? E. g. when a particular relase happened?

Right now at downloads.html it says that version 3.1 is the current release; I have 3.0.11.4 right now so I am considering updating. It would be a little help to indicate the release time so that I know how far behind I may be (I guess from 3.0.11.4 to 3.1 it may not be a huge change but it would still help a little if the release date would also be shown). At any rate please do feel free to close this issue at any moment in time - context-free is a really awesome idea, some of the autogenerated images are wonderful for wallpaper or small "art" icons to be used as random decorator on webpages too.

If you scroll down the change log lists the release dates. For some reason I left out 3.0.11.4. I have fixed this. There aren't many changes on the Linux side from version 3.0.11.4 to version 3.1. There are some ill-formed cfdg files that crash 3.0.11.4 but produce an error message on 3.1. The main changes in 3.1 are for the Mac and Windows platforms.

I have also added the release date to the top of the downloads page.
