[MPlayer-users] When will there be a new release?

[Nicolas George]

<snip>

In the future, to avoid these periodic threads about a new release, what
about moving the 1.0rc2 release in the "old releases" section, leaving only
links to the SVN snapshot on the "download page"?

People who see a release named 1.0rc2 assume that has less problems than a
random snapshot, which is not true in mplayer's case. The solution is to
avoid people seeing the release.

An explanatory text on the download page would help too. "MPlayer does not
do releases. The best version is almost always the most recent SVN snapshot
built from source."

It would probably also be a good idea to remove (or rather, move in the
"old" section) links to binaries of old versions (more than three months).
Hopefully this would encourage people to update these binaries.
