Hi All,

I noticed that with the new website, http://mybb.com/download/latest is no longer the URL to download the latest package, and that it was instead changed to a static download link for the current version's package.

Is this how it will be from here on in? Or will this be changing in the future. I only ask because I plan to revisit a project, wherein a script will need to download a copy of the latest package.

most of MyBB resources are moving to GitHub.. MyBB source files packages are also available on GitHub

Probably won't be changing, the root MyBB.com domain now runs entirely off GitHub pages and as far as I'm aware it's not possible to do a 301 redirect on GitHub pages.

The good news is that you can use the download_url value from either:
http://www.mybb.com/version_check.json
or
http://www.mybb.com/version_check.xml

At some point in the future we may use GitHub releases, but for the moment the release packages are still hosted on resources.mybb.com. 

Excellent! Thank you Tim, very useful.

I've added back the http://mybb.com/download/latest link. It should take you to whatever the latest file package is.
