Peter Falkenberg Brown Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Hi Folks, On the PW download link: http://processwire.com/download/ the link to "download the zip file" comes up with PW 2.2.9. When you go to github, and click on the zip file link, it downloads as 2.3. I've downloaded both, and unzipped both, and the unzip directories are different. So... I used the github version, but I thought that since I'm just starting with PW, I should make sure that's the right one. Any thoughts on the differences? Thanks, Peter 1
adrian Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Hi Peter - a quick answer from a relative PW newbie - I would go with the github version to ensure you get 2.3. I am using it in production, as I think are many folks. It has lots of great new features. Agreed it does seem a little confusing as to which is the current stable version.

Peter Falkenberg Brown Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 Hi PWired, Yes, I read that post. I used the 2.3 github file. I suppose I also wanted to point out that the PW download link was not up to date. Thanks, Peter
diogo Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2768-processwire-23-testing/page-4#entry30618 (post #75) A tip. When you click on the number of each post (upper right corner of the post box) it gives you the direct link of the post so you can share it easily. 1
interrobang Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 On the github page it also still says "ProcessWire 2.2 stable" in the short description on the top. 1

ryan Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Not sure what the issue was with GitHub, but their ZIP download URLs have changed a bit. Rather than the filename "master", it is "master.zip". I'm guessing they setup static redirects to ensure that the "master" links would continue working, when they made this change. But that redirect is pointing to PW 2.2.9 rather than 2.3, so thanks for letting me know Peter. I have added ".zip" to the end of the URL and now it seems to be pointing to the right version. Also fixed the GitHub summary text, thanks interrobang.
Peter Falkenberg Brown Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Dear Ryan, You're very welcome. Thanks for making ProcessWire! It may indeed be my replacement for MODX. Peter 1
