Thank you. That's very helpful. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=664#post-3754 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 22:16:23 +0000 mbolivar 3754@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Ok, I've updated the documentation page to link to the current version directly:</p> <p><a href="http://leaflabs.com/docs/maple-ide-install.html" rel="nofollow">http://leaflabs.com/docs/maple-ide-install.html</a></p> <p>The same page also contains a reference to the location where we maintain older versions. Source of the IDE is in the *-src.tar.gz tarballs; e.g., the source for IDE 0.0.5 is here:</p> <p><a href="http://static.leaflabs.com/pub/leaflabs/maple-ide/maple-ide-0.0.5-src.tar.gz" rel="nofollow">http://static.leaflabs.com/pub/leaflabs/maple-ide/maple-ide-0.0.5-src.tar.gz</a> </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=664#post-3753 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:57:49 +0000 mbolivar 3753@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>gbulmer,</p> <p>You're right; that's a hack we put together which is way past its expiration date. I'll update the documentation and IDE install page to reflect which version you're downloading, and which is current.</p> <p>We do maintain a past history of the binaries here:<br /> <a href="http://static.leaflabs.com/pub/leaflabs/maple-ide/" rel="nofollow">http://static.leaflabs.com/pub/leaflabs/maple-ide/</a></p> <p>I will add source archives, and include references to these in the IDE install page. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=664#post-3750 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 18:07:48 +0000 gbulmer 3750@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>I would really appreciate it if the Maple IDE downloads were called something meaningful. </p> <p>I'd like the download name to work so that I don't need to rename it when I save it in a directory with other Maple-IDE versions.</p> <p>For example maple-ide-LATEST-macosx-10_6.dmg fails; it tells me it is for macosx-10.6, but not the version. Further, if I save it into the directory of previous versions, it overwrites. This is not helpful.</p> <p>It does not explicitly tell me which version it contains.</p> <p>Also I can't tell if it is a stable version or an update or snapshot. This can be solved by an explicit, policy statement, e.g. 'this list only contains stable releases, and we will always change the release name for every update'.</p> <p>So I have to rename the file every time I download. That is unhelpful.<br /> Worse, reading the rest of the download page, I can't tell what version of the IDE the file contains, so it isn't clear what to name the file. See for yourself. Go to the download page <a href="http://leaflabs.com/docs/maple-ide-install.html" rel="nofollow">http://leaflabs.com/docs/maple-ide-install.html</a></p> <p>Can you figure out from that page which version this is? I can't.<br /> I can't even tell if I have that same 'latest' version installed on my machine already!</p> <p>Please fix this, it was never okay, but has become counter productive now people are reporting something working with one version of the IDE and not another. I can't (trivially) help check when something was broken, or try to offer a work around. Further, if the problem is fixed by reverting to a previous version, there is no simple way for the OP to get that.</p> <p>So, would you please keep the download files for previous stable versions? That way we can check when something appears to be broken and help. The Arduino folks keep a history making it very easy to see when things changed.</p> <p>It would be even better if you also bundled up the source of the release, and used a common naming convention.</p> <p>Please do <strong>NOT</strong> respond that it is all in the git repository. IMHO that is an inadequate answer. The releases which LeafLabs have bundled together are the definitive file sets. The git repository has several subsets for the IDE and the libraries, and you should not require folks to dig through git branches to get to a release set. (I do not think it should be a requirement to install yet another application just to compare behaviour of two released versions of Maple-IDE.) </p>
