There are two main pages for releases: * https://www.apache.org/dist/: actual releases * http://archive.apache.org/dist/: all releases The release policy [1] of the ASF enforces to have only the newest versions on the first. This is the primary directory for mirrors. Usually users are interested in the newest version.
In your case you should link to the 2nd URL as this is permanent.
