<h3>How to release</h3>
<p>Releases for a project are made of a list of downloads; each download
points to a single file that can be uploaded into your account space, and
can be handled spearately</p>
<p>In example, a signle release may contain sources, documentation, pre-built
packages for certain platforms or generic content files as the "changelog"
and "readme".</p>
<p>First, create a new download set (a release)
opening the "Add Release" panel; once the release is created,
"Manage downloads" to assign uploaded files to the new release.
</p>
<p>You can upload files via FTP, sending them in your private FTP user folder.
the "Manage downloads" main page will allow to move the files you uploaded
from your private directory into the project download area, simply by "adding"
them to a release or as a "generic" (unassigned) download.</p>
<p>Once the files are moved in the project area (both associated to a release
or left non-associated, they can be moved to other release sets via the "edit"
option of the "Manage download" section.</p>
<p>Downloads (i.e. single files) can be also presented in this page without being
explicitly linked to a certain release. They are marked as "standalone" if they
have the "Relevant" (Rel) attribute set; their status can be inspected or changed
through the "Manage downloads" panel.</p>
<p>Deleting a download record (del option) doesn't delete the underlyng file. Once
its download description is deleted, the file itself stays in the project area,
and can be re-associated with other downloads record. To do this, create first
an empty download record from the table view, edit it and associate a free file
from the pulldown list in the edit mask.</p>
<p>Don't forget to clean periodically your donwloads area from useless files by
using the "Clanup downloads" dialog. In that dialog, files not currently bound with
any download record will be shown and may be removed from the server disks.</p>
