Change download link on the project page to use GitHub releases #148

Description

@stevenbenner

The download link on the PowerTip project page is currently pointing to zip files that are checked into the gh-pages branch in the repository. The reason it is being done this way is because GitHub removed the file uploads feature that was originally used to serve built assets, but didn't provide an alternative for nearly a year until they added the releases feature.

Now that GitHub releases are a thing the download link on the project page should use releases directly. This will simplify the release process, keep extraneous binaries out of the git repository, and centralize the management of released packages.

Tasks:

  • Change download link in project page template
  • Remove zip assets publishing step(s) from the Grunt process

It might be a good idea to leave the existing releases in the gh-pages branch, because some third parties may be directly linking to them. At least until the next release has been out for a while.
