site: the download button stops naming a version, and two stale sections go - #48

…ons go The button said "Download 0.2.0" and led to /releases/latest. Those two halves cannot both stay true. "latest" skips a prerelease by design, so the moment a release candidate exists the page names one version and hands over another - and nothing here would catch it, because the site guard compares the site against the CODE and both halves would agree while being wrong about what a visitor receives. Owner's decision, and it is better than the alternatives that were on the table: the button reads "Download" and leads to the list of releases. A list is true whatever is published, so the page makes no promise it can break. It also removes the reason to tag a release from a branch to keep the site honest. The releases fact moved with it, so the footer link and the JSON-LD downloadUrl point at the list too rather than at two different places. Three removals, all on the owner's instruction, and two of them were carrying live falsehoods rather than only clutter. "Where this is today" on the front page and "Formats that are not here yet" on the formats page both listed tiff and webp as planned and not built. Both shipped on 2026-08-29. The site guard could not see it: it renders the numbers a program can be asked for, and no code claims a list of formats that do not exist, so that sentence was prose nothing was checking. Deleting the sections removed the claim rather than dating it. And the sentence "The Linux ones are unsigned" is gone from the call to action in both languages. Sections were cut by content rather than by line numbers, and the seams are checked: no orphaned markup, nothing linked to #scope or #next, and FormatCount is still used in six other places. No releases/latest is left anywhere on the site. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The button now reads

removes the reason to tag a release from a branch just to keep the site honest.

both languages.
How the cuts were made
Everything was edited in the sources under
web/contentandweb/templates, andweb/publicwas regenerated from them - the publishedpages are generated, so editing those directly would be undone by the next run.
Sections were cut by content rather than by line numbers, and the seams are
checked: no orphaned markup, nothing linked to
#scopeor#next,FormatCountis still used in six other places, and noreleases/latestremains anywhere on the site.
Full suite and
preflight --quickgreen locally, 12 of 12 including the threeCI-only checks.
Not in this change
Two version references remain on the site and are untouched: the footer brand
line and the JSON-LD
softwareVersion. Neither is a promise about what adownload gives you, so neither breaks the way the button did.
