I suggest that the file for the latest stable be replaced by a Daily Build that was an excellent one.
Better yet would be to ELIMINATE a stable build and just have a link to Today's latest Daily Build.
It would eliminate 99% of people's problems with CHIRP.
Because of the problem with the stable build existing, people get frustrated and eventually get fed up with CHIRP.
They have a point, the stable version should at least be changed to a version after the Baofeng firmware change that introduced incompatibility.
CHIRP is an excellent program, it deserves much better. Eliminate the stable build and just have a Daily Build. Those builds are stable enough.

We have plans to do this. There are some logistics that need to be worked out in order to make that smooth. We'll get there.

I appreciate your estimates here, but I think what you mean is: "It would eliminate 99% of the baofeng users that come here and report that issue." You don't see the majority of the users that work with the stable build every day because they don't come here and say "Just so you know, I downloaded 0.4.1 and everything worked."
From the patronage of the list here, it's easy to assume "all the world's a [baofeng]" -- but it's not [1].
Thanks!

That's what I mean Dan.
It would eliminate the problem with the Baofeng users. It would also eliminate the people who cannot read the web pages that tells them what radios are supported - many are only supported in the Daily Build.
I had the problem once, but I kept reading until I got the answer.
I think I missed the Daily Builds because they were on the right hand side.
One thing I missed for months was thsi wonderful chart:

Now that is worth celebrating! Thanks to whomever did that piece of work.
