Hello all
I saw it here (http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-announce/2010-September/date.html) that GRASS released a new stable version 6.4.0. The thing is: I cannot find a windows binary of that exacly version. I only can find binaries from the weekly updates and neither the code to compile in Windows. Maybe I’m being to dumb but can anyone give me a hand?
Thanks
Luisa

As MarkusM pointed out, just go here:
http://grass.osgeo.org/download/
Please tell me/us how to improve the Web site to avoid such problems.

As a suggestion, the /download/index page doesn't add much to the download experience and may be a little confusing. Perhaps the download link should go directly to the /download/software.php page?

Mhh, there is only one relevant link as per-operating system provided at
http://grass.osgeo.org/download/
Why confusing? It may be so, please explain to make me understand.

From newcomers I got lots of feedback to avoid the complex table
as landing page... so I made the "new" one (some months old).

Sorry - poor explanation - if I'm at /download/, and then hit 'Software' in the the menu to the left, I find myself at /download/index.php which is the same screen so until I spot the 'other platforms' link in the center orange box I'm stuck. (This is OS X / Safari behavior)
The orange box in the center looks to a casual user as if it is the Mac download box - maybe we need to give some more prominence to the other binaries by name in this box?

but doesn't it just lead to the same place and require the user to make the same analysis of their needs?
Not a big deal in the grand scheme of all the great work done on GRASS.

apparently there is a browser recognition problem. Can you please
send me a screenshot off-list? The Safari simulators out there do not
work right now (I'm on Linux).

This is what I exactly wanted to avoid 
It should be pretty straightforward
as it is intended for Windows and Linux users.
Not a big deal in the grand scheme of all the great work done on GRASS.
Still it should be solved! The easier the better IMHO.

the design of that page (for better or worse) is meant to be:
if viewed on Mac it should show a link the Mac installer, if viewed on
MS Windows it should show a link to WinGrass, if viewed on Linux (or
unknown??) it should lead to the pick-your-poison page.
so it would suggest that you are viewing the page on a Mac and all is
working as expected?
Hamish
Is there a 64 bit version for windows?

With Hamish's explanation - all is clear; I had not caught on to the OS recognition feature. I just ran a test on IE8 on XP, Firefox on linux, and Safari on OSX and all function correctly as he describes.
Sorry to be so dense ~
