Permalink for latest client computer installers for scripted/RMM deployment
Jeff Lorenzen
While convenient to have a web site where we can pick the latest build, for the OS we need, it would be even better if there was a permalink to the latest build So, rather than https://github.com/v2cloud/Denver-Releases/releases/download/v0.20.16/V2-Cloud-Setup-0.20.16.exe for example, the link would simply be something like https://v2cloud.com/download/V2-Cloud-Setup.exe and this link would ALWAYS be the latest build.
Since the app was changed to install system-wide, rather than in the user profile, we have to change our script to keep users updated because they do not have admin rights on their computers, so they can't self-update. In order to move closer to a fully automated endpoint management and deployment, the lack of a permalink creates manual work every time the app gets updated because the build is part of the name executable/download link. It also results in end user frustration because they have to wait for us to deploy the latest build to their system, rather than being proactive and deploying the latest build during their weekly/daily maintenance window.

That would be helpful to us also so we don't have to change the download link on our website.
