Any releases from trunk are listed at the top of the downloads page for a project, even if there are newer series and releases. This can be incredibly unfortunate as people are very likely to download the old release trunk instead of the newer versions.

I couldn't figure out why people kept download my old versions and not the new ones, until I viewed the general "Downloads" page and realized it was at the top. This happened because I started out releasing from trunk in my naive project management ways, then starting branching and releasing from branches. However all these new series were listed below my releases from trunk.

My only solution was to delete all the release files from trunk which was sad as that was neat for historical reasons.

Unfortunately I am not sure when the best solution is. Perhaps series should be ordered based on their most recent release, or the order should be editable.
