Nightly snapshots not up to date?

[Peter Mills]

Despite the file name of "leo-editor-snapshot-20140405.zip" in the nightly snapshot page, the files therein appear to to be from 2014-02-13.  A fish around in the files shows that viewrendered2.py is not included, confirming the snapshot's age.  I'm now getting my updates from git, but a friend I introduced to Leo seemed to end up with an old version by using the nightly snapshot option.

Are nightly snapshots needed anymore since you can just grab the source from github?

Select "download zip" from the bottom right edge of

https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor

Direct link

https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/archive/master.zip

If they are not required perhaphs we should remove them from here:

That's cool. The only thing the nightlys gave in addition was older
versions, which in theory could be useful if trunk was broken, although
I suspect they were very rarely used in that way.

I wonder if github can give .zips of older versions...

Ha, very cool, you can do:

https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/archive/master@{5 days ago}.zip

"master@{5 days ago}.zip" is a horrible filename, and when unzipped it
yields: leo-editor-5dbbb1d1a6943c2380b17493a4fe92deb257245c/ which is
scary too, but given how infrequently older commits would be needed, it
does seem that the current snapshot system could be dropped in favor of
this.

Maybe http://leoeditor.com/download.html could have a link to
https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/archive/master.zip and a link
"you can also get older versions" which links to another page / section
of docs. at leoeditor.com which links to 1, 5, 10, 30, 90 day old
versions and explains what weird filenames you'll be getting.

That sound reasonable to everyone?

Ok, hearing one aye and no nays, I've stopped the snapshots at
http://www.greygreen.org/leo/ - if you go there now you'll see a
pointer to http://leoeditor.com/download.html#snapshots which will
exist next time Edward updates the docs. - I've pushed changes to the
docs to supply direct download links to git hub. The new docs. are
echoed at http://www.greygreen.org/leo/
