outdated https://strawberryperl.com/releases.html

The release page is not up-to-date.
https://strawberryperl.com/releases.html

It shows the latest release being Strawberry Perl 5.38.2.2 (2023-12-11), while the current latest is 5.40.2.1 on the homepage: https://strawberryperl.com/

@cbouss Yes, that page is quite the cumbersome thing to update. I've been toying with building that page dynamically from the releases.json file: #51

Feedback/help there would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I should have provided the direct link to that as well: https://strawberryperl.com/foo.html

[cbouss]

The page foo.html does look more modern (and would be sufficient for my specific need).

However there is code out there that parses the current release page to detect new versions of perl.
To avoid breakage there, keeping the existing format would be best.

I see your comment here: StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry#177 (comment)

If no others have complained, I guess that's fine :) After all the release page has been outdated for a year now.

I got thrown off by the the releases page not being updated. That caused me some extra work. I'd appreciate an update. The foo page is fine enough.
