[FFmpeg-devel] GitHub releases section is very old

[FFmpeg-devel] GitHub releases section is very old

[* Neustradamus *]

Hello all,

It is possible to remove all releases from GitHub?
Because at right, we can see and it is not good promotion for this active project:
- https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg

Releases 11
FFmpeg 3.0 Release
Latest on 15 Feb 2016
+ 10 releases
- https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/releases

The important part is here:
- https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/tags

But it is possible to add all time in releases section, a new release with changelog...

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Neustradamus

We should probably delete all existing releases instead, so they don't 
cause confusion like this.
Github is just a mirror, not any kind of official release channel.

Its not that you shouldnt use gotos but rather that you should write
readable code and code with gotos often but not always is less readable
