It would be nice to at least provide a link to the latest "beta" version announcement topic on the front page.

On the Downloads page just in front of the link to download the file is this announcement:


Want the very latest version?

The version shown on this page is considered the latest stable version. That is, it has been released for a while with no major bugs reported. However often more recent versions are available on the MUSHclient Announcements part of the Forum. Follow that link to see if there is a more recent version announced. Look for a thread with a heading like "Version 4.xx released".


Can't do much more than that.

Also on the "main" (top) page of this forum for MUSHclient (http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/forum.php?bbsection_id=1) is always a link to the latest version. Right now it says:


Version 4.55 of MUSHclient now released.

Ah, I see. It's not very obvious :( I've had a lot of people not know that there's a newer version. Maybe putting <a href="http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10458">;(Beta: 4.55)</a> in the heading in both places would make it more obvious.

Very few of the usual users I see visit the forums, so the forums notice misses a lot of people too.

[EDIT] An email newsletter every time a version is released sure would be nice, IMO. Just a thought :D

Apart from all the other issues I mentioned, like giving the function name, in quotes, without the brackets, and without the ":" symbol, I would upgrade:
