From a6ee71926fbb21e58c1dc092f3f52602f8bcbf2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Niels Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 23:08:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] docs(pages): bigger README download badge; real download links + version link MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - README: enlarge the Download & Install badge (height=54). - Landing page: download buttons now point at the direct installer asset of the newest release that actually carries modern installers (prefer stable, else the current snapshot — old 1.7.x .msi releases lack setup.exe/.dmg/.AppImage, which is why the buttons fell back to the release page). The version text is now a link to that release's page. Drop the duplicate 'Project on GitHub' footer link (the top 'View on GitHub' button covers it) and the redundant '(pre-release)'.
