BUG/PROBLEM REPORT (OR OTHER COMMON ISSUE)

What I did:

What I expect to happen:

What actually happened:

I am really surprised that, for several months now, the latest "release 5.2.3" is unavailable on the main Plone website, even if it mentions on a bright red background "Get Plone 5.2 (stable)", which links to 5.2.3 on Github. I know it is possible to find 5.2.2 but giving a link to an unexisting package is not very stimulating to get using Plone by newcomers. I have been using Plone over the most of last decade, I run several sites on 5.1. I witnessed that the support for Plone has been steadingly vanishing. This is sad.

What version of Plone/ Addons I am using:

Hello Robert,

Unfortunately, for the past half year we are having problems creating a tested unified installer that works on Linux, Mac and Windows. A lot of work is under way to get this fixed. Meanwhile lots of people are using 5.2.3 by extending the versions from https://dist.plone.org/release/5.2.3/versions.cfg.

I am currently working on getting 5.2.4 released. For the installer it looks like we will choose to skip creating one for 5.2.3, and go to 5.2.4 instead.

Greetings from a Belgium that is warming up quite nicely this weekend. :-)
