changes to project nodes and admin UI and now installed on drupal.org
i've recently finished another round of project node improvements, and i just installed them all on drupal.org. of particular interest, the "default version" link on the project nodes is now gone, replaced with an auto-generated table of the latest releases for each version of core your module supports[1]. development snapshots are there in a separate table. here's the important thing for you to know: if your project has more than 1 branch for a given version of core (e.g. 4.7.x-2.* and 4.7.x-1.* releases) you can now specify if the latest 1.* or 2.* should be the default release for your project[2]. "default" means it'd be listed in that table on your project node, and it'd be used as the "Download" link on the project browsing pages [3] when filtering by a specific version of core (e.g. 4.7.x). you can select this via the new admin UI which is the "releases" subtab on the edit tab of your project node[4]. i hope the table is fairly self-explanatory (though suggestions for improving the usability of that table are certainly welcome). also note that all issue-related project node settings now live in the "issues" subtab, instead of being buried in collapsed fieldsets on the old monolithic edit tab. cheers, -derek [1] see http://drupal.org/node/89539 [2] see http://drupal.org/node/89538 [3] for example http://drupal.org/project/Modules/name [4] see http://drupal.org/node/96971 p.s. if filter by <all> versions on the project browsing pages, things are still kind of lame. i'm working on fixing this: http://drupal.org/node/101601 any help there would be appreciated. thanks!
Thanks for all your hard work on the project module Derek--I really like having official releases. Is it there a setting I can change to remove the "Development Snapshots" table altogether from my module page? I only want to show the "Official Releases" table on the module page. I don't want users stumbling onto a development snapshot by mistake. I'm looking here http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_breadcrumb .

yay!! someone else who shares my disdain for development snapshots (at least in terms of making them easy for end-users to end up using). ;) there's no such setting yet, but it'd be oh-so-trivial to add: http://drupal.org/node/101887 cheers, -derek
Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing this change. I'm a big fan of having versioned official releases. Personally, I'd like to see the development snapshots go away, except for being on the "view all releases" page.

http://drupal.org/node/101887 is now committed and installed on drupal.org ("add setting to hide dev snapshot table on project nodes"). so long as you have official releases for each branch of core, if you turn off this checkbox on your project (on the "releases" subtab of your edit tab), the "all releases" page is basically the only place the dev snapshots will be visible (and as an option in the issue queue "version" drop-down, of course). also, FYI: i added an "edit" link to the http://drupal.org/project/ user table, to make it easier for you to edit all your project nodes from 1 place. enjoy, -derek
