What is going on?

Hello,

Actually the versions 6.2.0 / 6.2.1 are retired.

Which means we won't build this product anymore, so the artifacts are not available anymore.

Maybe not everything was cleaned yet, but other artifacts for the same version will certainly be removed later.

Nicolas.

Thanks for the information.

Do you think retiring any version is a good idea given that you purposefully make it difficult for projects from minor versions to work together?
