[tor-talk] Machine readable index of stable/unstable release versions

[Scfith Rise up]

Just my 2 cents, if you move to something like github's "latest" binary releases approach for projects, it works really well. 

I do that for a few of mine and it works great. As simple as a latest.zip that is them most recent version binary for Linux, OSX, & Windows.
