Clicking on the download link ws blocked by ublock origin. Weird.
Good riddance, I say.
As far as the password storage goes, you are not up-to-date. They are stored base64-encoded now. Yes, much better.
It seems like any credentials that can be automatically used after a program loads without the user authenticating are at risk for malware harvesting.

None of them appropriately support mailing lists, though. Email-based communication is a big deal for devs which contribute on maybe 5+ projects at once and have to manage comms in one central place. As for Discourse's mockery of a mailing list mode, let's not even talk about it.
If you're managing 5+ projects at once, your inbox must be a train-wreck of garbage from these mailing lists. GitHub has email notifications for issues, but you can opt out of any particular discussion if it gets too pedantic or doesn't relate to you. This helps massively reduce inbox clutter. The thing that bugs me about mailing lists the most is you get all the email, all the time, forever.
This is a total non-issue. Mailing lists support daily digests if you want that, and email clients support folders and filters if you want that instead. Nobody managing 5+ mailing list-based projects at once is dumping all of that into an unsorted inbox.
That article is from April. Good to know about it, but is this news?
Move your stuff off Sourceforge! What the hell is wrong with your people?
What really gets me is the glib attitude of the FileZilla maintainers to this news. Whether trojan or adware, the "just uncheck the boxes" mindset is rather insulting. Move your stuff off Sourceforge! What the hell is wrong with your people?
Unfortunately Filezilla has this trojan for some years now! The trojan send all your identities to a server. This is tested 100%. We had many passwords stolen this way and we are 100% sure that it's filezilla. Just take this test: Try to download the Filezilla and when the download page shows click on the Direct Link. Then compare the two executables, one that downloaded automatically and the one that it downloaded v…
Something came up last time Sourceforge was discussed here, namely "why are projects still using it?"... I'm the project lead for LXQt ( http://lxqt.org ). We inherited some infrastructure legacy from LXDE, which was hosted on sourceforge. Today, we have moved most of the legacy to Github but we're still using Sourceforge's mailing list system. We're moving to a self-hosted mailman3 instance but it's been excruciatin…
The GIMP project learned this the hard way: http://www.gimp.org/news/2015/05/27/gimp-projects-official-s...
Since they used to be the official source, their repository tend to have very high PageRank and they're essentially cashing in on it. Since the content they host is open-source, this is technically legal, but it's scummy as all hell.

D has the best mailing list interface in the world by an enormous margin . http://forum.dlang.org/ (The forum is a front-end to the mailing lists / newsgroups.)
The cool thing about D's forums/feed is how amazingly fast they are. I wish more web apps were designed like this, with a fast backend framework. Instead, it's all either slow, slow backend frameworks like Ruby, or even worse, these SPA applications that require extensive client-side JS processing before they show you the goods. Node is a step in the right direction for both problems: for the first, Node-based backen…
