| Description |
|
To better aid readability, we should try to shorten the URL if possible. See Ian's comments: Ian Gilfillan: @Vicențiu Ciorbaru for shortening the direct download link: Currently it's https://mariadb.org/download/?tab=mariadb&release=10.7.0&product=mariadb Ian Gilfillan: Or https://mariadb.org/download/?r=10.7.0&p=mariadb if there's a good reason for the second, and it can't be default Or https://mariadb.org/download/?r=10.7.0&p=mariadb if there's a good reason for the second, and it can't be default |

Agreed there is no need for second parameter (can use sensible defaults), so the format should be https://mariadb.org/download/?r=10.7.0 Parameters to be reduced to a single letter, sensible defaults chosen in all cases to reduce the number of needed parameters. |

Old links already public - such as https://mariadb.org/download/?tab=mariadb&release=10.7.0&product=mariadb - must continue to work |
