[dist] Download link broken

[eant60]

Download link for latest release pmd-bin-7.0.0-rc3 returns "Not found"

https://github.com/pmd/pmd/releases/download/pmd_releases%2F7.0.0-rc3/pmd-bin-7.0.0-rc3.zip

Thanks for raising this. It should be https://github.com/pmd/pmd/releases/download/pmd_releases%2F7.0.0-rc3/pmd-dist-7.0.0-rc3-bin.zip after the changes in the dist naming included in the changelog.

@adangel the email included the old format link. I don't recall if this was autogenerated as part of the build or manually set up, we probably missed the change somewhere…

@eant60 Thanks for reporting. Yes, I missed that one on pmd.github.io. I'll fix it.

This still appears broken, albeit in a different way.

The README.md says:
Download the latest binary zip from the releases and extract it somewhere.

Except that link redirects to https://github.com/pmd/pmd/releases/tag/pmd_releases/7.0.0-rc4, which has no link (that I could find) to download the latest binary zip.

I had to get it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/

@wroth the link is correct. At the very bottom of that page, there is an Assets section where download links are listed.

You can check it here: https://github.com/pmd/pmd/releases/tag/pmd_releases/7.0.0-rc4#:~:text=22%20other%20contributors-,Assets,-7

For anyone who automates the download, here's what you need to know:

https://github.com/pmd/pmd/releases/download/pmd_releases%2F[VERSION]/pmd-bin-[VERSION].zip       //OLD
https://github.com/pmd/pmd/releases/download/pmd_releases%2F[VERSION]/pmd-dist-[VERSION]-bin.zip  //NEW

Also, the name of the script in the zip file changed:

$ ./pmd-bin-[VERSION]/bin/run.sh pmd ...  //OLD
$ ./pmd-bin-[VERSION]/bin/pmd check ...   //NEW
