Ouch! Renamed via the SourceForge file manager. It will take an indeterminate length of time before the change is reflected in their release system.
It seems that file release system is the only feature of SourceForge that we use, and that it's still kinda painful to use. Maybe, we should move? E.g. serving files from the web server or using Google Code (which has scripted upload) or something else?
SourceForge has improved their release system, and it is quite a bit easier to use than in the past. I've been updating http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ReleasePractices/ManagerCheckList#Relea... I become familiar with the new SourceForge interface. The name goofs were strictly on my side. The names were wrong when I created the release candidate; see http://boost.cowic.de/rc/ Thanks for the comment, however, since we always need to be on the lookout for ways to improve our process. Speaking of that, I notice that SourceForge has a Thumbs up/Thumbs down rating system now. We need to take a look at the roughly 10% of the Boost ratings that get a "Thumbs down" to see what is bothering users. --Beman
