We need a consistent URL for latest driver downloads #23

Open kuszewski opened 1 year ago

Integrations with third party tooling - like DBeaver - need a consistent place to get the "latest" version of the IRIS drivers.

In the case of DBeaver, we set the URL to https://github.com/intersystems-community/iris-driver-distribution/raw/main/intersystems-jdbc-3.1.0.jar back in 2020. The URL is entirely different now and new users of DBeaver can't get the IRIS driver working.

Fixed for now here (thanks, @isc-rsingh ), but I agree with you, Bob. We need a permanent URL.

Dbeaver now points to 3.6.1: https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver/pull/19020 Process on this repo has changed to not remove older versions so these links can be consistent. @kuszewski , I think we can close this issue now, yes?

Can we have a release tagged 'latest' that always points to the latest version?
