I committed a hack that finds the latest release from notifications (it's a hack because notifications has limited length and if it notifies other than successful builds it could end up containing no notifications for successful builds).  I'll take a look at the Latest Version Badge (& thanks to whoever provided it).

That latest version badge points to: https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog/_latestVersion

And if I HTTP HEAD that, I get:
$ curl -I https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog/_latestVersion
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Server: nginx
Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2018 16:39:03 GMT
Content-Length: 0
Connection: keep-alive
Location: https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog/201803080952
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

That is, it will redirect to the respective version, with which you can construct the DL path and the file name.

Best regards
