>Description:
A while ago (~ 1 month) I wanted to build a newer version of gdb and checked 
the website for the latest version. However, it was confusing that the website 
stated that 6.3 was the latest release, while on the ftp site I saw that 6.4 
was available for download (and had been announced on the gdb-announce mailing 
list). This is kind of funny, especially since 6.4 was released a month ago, a 
minimal note on the webpage shouldn't take that long. 

Not to mention that if users trust the website and don't check the ftp site, 
they would get the older version. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Open www.gnu.org/software/gdb in a browser.
