Documentation error: 2.1. Download binaries

[vebjornmalmin]

The link to Windows binaries is 404. 2.1. Download binaries
"All precompiled binaries can be found in the Assets dropdown in the GitHub Releases. To download the latest binaries, click here."

The Asset dropdown is not easy to find either , ie I have not managed to located it.

EDIT:
Never mind the Asset comment, found it at the bottom of the release. But the link in Docs should be https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/releases/download/v2.5.0/openfast_v2.5.0_binaries.zip

Thanks for pointing that out. We will update the link in the next release.

Hi,

wouldn't it be better to just provide the general link: https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/releases

If you want I can offer to make a PR for you.

Ah the link is broken because I named the archive openfast_v2.5.0_binaries.zip instead of the convention we were using of windows_openfast_binaries.zip.

@Echolon the releases page is also linked in the documentation. The two sentences related to this are:

"All precompiled binaries can be found in the Assets dropdown in the GitHub Releases. To download the latest binaries, click here."

When we were only linking to the Releases page, it was difficult to find the Assets dropdown after the release notes so I added a link to that directly.

[Echolon]

Ah okay - so not PR necessary?

Are there any other beginner task here? I am really interested to support.
If you need organizational help, I can offer to label all unlabeled issues. I did that work already for Jitsi Meet and the Monal IM repository.

[rafmudaf]

Hold off on making this change for now. I prefer to name the archives with the version number, but we do need to fix the broken link in the documentation.

There are a few issues labeled "Help Wanted": Help wanted
Specifically, the script to convert input files between versions would be very useful.
