50 move the older (pre)release(s) (except the last one before the current one) | |
12781 | 51 to ../OLD_stuff/ dir |
10389 | 52 |
12781 | 53 Somehow get Diego to write a news entry for the release, and update the |
54 source file of dload.html and commit it. Test it, it's sometimes buggy | |
15207 | 55 (broken links etc). Also, update translated versions of dload.html. |
