Featuring a binary release on your project summary page is a great way of making them available and obvious to your users. We’ve just made this a lot easier to do (along with the management of your other files).

Previously, featured downloads were uploaded and managed separately from other files in a “well hidden” section of the Admin tab. In the most recent Project’s update the downloads functionality has now been merged into the “Files tab”. This means that files only need to be uploaded once, and that its obvious how to feature them.

Existing projects have been migrated to use the new system, and any entered description and platform details for featured downloads will have been preserved (the version detail field no longer exists). Note that if you didn’t have a description before, we highly recommend you go and add one now.

In addition to new support for featuring, we also improved the file management tools: now you only “need” to use WebDAV if you have to upload a lot of files in a single session.
