From a84a092de1aaec51c0d73e5a9d36210df15c63a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Herm=C3=A8s=20B=C3=A9lusca-Ma=C3=AFto?= Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 20:59:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Reword the download.html page, removing mentions of deprecated LiveCD (#138) ReactOS commit https://github.com/reactos/reactos/commit/b2e33f26eb3230c1a1535b6ea2833b0bb1ad128b removed the separate livecd artifact, merging it with the bootcd. Rename also "bootcd" to "Release Image", since it's more generic (e.g. the ISO can be flashed onto an USB thumb drive). The text of the download.html page is reworded to explain what the "Release Image" does. --- content/download.html | 17 ++++++++++++----- static/js/download.js | 7 +------ 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/content/download.html b/content/download.html index f35c3f78..f78d2d92 100644 --- a/content/download.html +++ b/content/download.html @@ -14,12 +14,19 @@
