Something that has vexed me since first posting Windows releases to GitHub is that I would have liked to have at least *some* download statistics for it, and yet GitHub doesn't display that anywhere on the website.
However, I was just noodling around in the GitHub API (trying to automate releases) and I found that the data *is* there--or at least some approximation thereof. It's probably difficult to give a precise count since there are no doubt layers of CDNs involved, but the GitHub releases API does have a "download count" for all release assets, and just for the sake of interest this is what I found: SageMath 8.0 (Windows installer 0.2) 16166 SageMath 8.1 (Windows installer 0.3) 25363 SageMath 8.2 (Windows installer 0.3) 7071 SageMath 8.3 (Windows installer 0.4) 4789 SageMath 8.3 (Windows installer 0.4.1) 3112 SageMath 8.4 (Windows installer 0.4.1) 4480 SageMath 8.5 (Windows installer 0.4.1) 3017 SageMath 8.6 (Windows installer 0.4.1) 3640 SageMath 8.6 (Windows installer 0.4.2) 5862 SageMath 8.7 (Windows installer 0.4.3) 2929 SageMath 8.8 (Windows installer 0.5.0) 101 SageMath 8.8 (Windows installer 0.5.1) 4139 Apparently there was a flurry of interest when Sage for Windows was first released, and then it tailed off a bit. However, it's worth noting that previous releases were not also on the sagemath.org mirrors, whereas they were added to the mirrors later (probably, just looking at the numbers, around 8.2 or 8.3). So those number just reflect downloads through GitHub, but at least it's something. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
