Hm, first I've heard of that. Where is it?
OK, I've flagged it as an issue with box-admins, and added an entry to the release process at http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6189

OK, the summation here is that only root or the owner of the directory (website is going to be able to 'update' a symbolic link within said directory. This is not something I had previously fully appreciated and so my setting the owner of these links to updates does not help users who can access the updates account despite the appearances, sorry about that.
Basically there is no way to modify an existing symbolic link, to change it you have to remove and recreate it. So if you don't have write access to the directory, even if you have write access to the link, you are out of luck.
I fixed the current_development and current_stable links. I also went ahead and created a 4.5alpha directory.

You can link to a symlink. Which makes a kind of twisted form of attenuated capability.

Thank you Ken for updating the sym links.
The 4.4. release is now available from
http://www.squeak.org/Download/
However it is hidden. You have to go to the 'archive' section. Not exactly the place where I would look for the most current release. The links are still 4.3
The problem is that there is no 4.4 All-In-One available.

Well, that's _part_ of the problem. Noone seems to be able to agree on what we should actually release :)

Actually the image and the changes file _have_ been released. Now it is about telling the people on the web site that this has happened.
And a note that a 4.4. All-In-One is not available at the moment.
