work in progress
website part of spesmilo/electrum#9847
Moves the table showing the available downloads in a separate template so it can get created and appended by make_download depending on which versions are required.

Do we want the main download page linking to the beta versions?

In the past when we released a beta version, it would appear in the list of releases in https://download.electrum.org/ (have its own folder visible there, e.g. see 4.0.0b1/ or 4.5.0b1/) but we would not directly link to it from https://electrum.org/#download

You can get to the list of releases from the main site via this link:

<a href="https://download.electrum.org">Previous releases</a><br/>

(which we could rename potentially)

Ideally mostly technical people try out the non-stable releases, it's a feature if they are not trivial to find.
Note that if the new client version contains a WalletDB upgrade, it is not possible to downgrade to the stable version.

Or is the motivation that the client is linking to https://electrum.org/#download and in case the user selected the beta channel, you want that easy to find?
If so, perhaps the client could direct link to the ftp-style folder e.g. https://download.electrum.org/4.5.0b1/ for non-stable releases.

oh no, I don't think we should show the beta version on the main download page

Ok.

Yes that was my intention, but not showing it on the website and instead showing the direct link in the update dialog also seems reasonable. I will change it then to show this.
