A recent update has introduced a new downloads page, featuring a completely rewritten file uploader that enhances user experience with improved functionality, including the ability to upload multiple files simultaneously and better error handling. This update is aimed at providing a more efficient interface for users with push access to repositories, exemplified by its implementation on pages like brotherbard's gitx fork. The downloads section is designed to host various project-related items beyond just code, such as PDF documents, binary software distributions, minified JavaScript files, PSD mockups, and SQL or data dumps. Additionally, users can automatically generate zip and tar.gz packages of their codebase using git tags, which will appear on the downloads page, offering a streamlined method for sharing project components.
