We have redone how file releases work for Forge projects. Here is a summary of the changes:
1. Files are organized into directories instead of a strict package/release structure.
2. Files and file metadata are read directly from the file system instead of the database.
3. Administration is done inline instead of in a separate Admin section.
4. You can now replace existing files.
5. File monitoring has been removed.
6. File download statistics are temporarily disabled. They are still being collected, just not shown.
7. We no longer store 'notes', 'changes', or 'dependencies' as part of a release in our database. Instead, please include README, CHANGES, or other files with your file releases to deliver this type of information.
We think these changes will be helpful to everyone using this site. If you have ideas or problems please let us know.
