Hi all,
Tobias discovered that typing http://ftp.squeak.org/ into the address bar in Safari does not work anymore in OS X 10.11, it redirects to ftp://ftp.squeak.org, which fails.
I filed a bug (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157894) but we should also use the occasion to fix this for good. We don’t need FTP anymore (and our FTP server hasn’t been online for quite a while).
So we just added http://files.squeak.org/ as an alternative, and are about to change all the download links on squeak.org to that.
Any objections/comments?

What a great way to hide content from Safari users.

It sounds good to me. I think we talked about this before on a Board meeting, and it seemed to be a good idea back then, too.
