• Supercharged Downloads

    defunkt 7 Jul 2008

    The Download button is now supercharged. It gives you the option to download a Zip version of the repository and suggests other downloads – recent tags, basically – giving people have a chance to download your version’d releases.

    I approve.

    Yay, all my tags have some purpose now! They have been given meaning in life.

    BTW – I understand the Zip logo. It has a zipper on it. But the “Tar” logo? Perhaps it could be a black, tarry document icon with a white zipper? :)

    BTW – http://skitch.com/drnic/xkgg/many-masters – is this deliberate or a bug?

    nice!

    i was hoping for versioned downloads. Now you can hotlink in blog posts directly to the correct version. So many tutorials and such pointing to the tarball led readers to download edge versions that might not necessarily apply.

    Good work!

    drnic, those icons come straight from OS X. Blame Apple

    LOL @ “zipball”

    What a nice touch. How about an indication of the download size, though? Perhaps some nice subtle gray text below the two main icon at least. Keep up the good work.

    Awesome! Thanks for implementing this.
