The website points would be users of squeak to 3.9 RC1 7061 not 7067. How come?

The first thing you see at: http://www.squeak.org/

is

Squeak

News

* 2006-09-08: Squeak 3.9 is announced.
Congratulations. Download links and ftp archives are
not yet updated.
* 2006-09-07: Squeak Weekly News are back:
http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/
* 2006-05-26: 3.8 current download for MacOS has
updated vm to Squeak 3.8.12beta4U.app.zip
etc.
-----

Clicking on Squeak 3.9 starts the download to your
system of the out of date Squeak 3.9 RC1 7061.


This seems to me wrong in two ways and dangerous.

First it seems odd to me that clicking the news item
starts the download rather than directing you to a
download page.

Secondly is seems odd and dangerous for any reputation
squeak might want to build for itself that the main
page of the website starts off with such old news.

I leave it to the board and the web team to work out
policy and practice to correct this.

Yours in service, --Jerome Peace

Time passes quick and news get out of date...

And I will kick the ball back to you :-) You are welcome to work with us.

This has still not been fixed. Please address at least the basic quick changes.
1. Update download link for 3.9.
2. Use the download page.

Thanks!

I've updated the link to point to Squeak3.9-final-7067.zip, but it's
not clear to me that it should point to the download page yet since it
isn't updated.  I don't have time to update the Download page.
