hi,
How can I automate the download of a new beta revision of Inkscape?

The new spiro spline path effect in the beta release is great. When bugs happen I get a newer revision and test to see if the bug still exists. I try to simplify and isolate a test case and report the bug.

I am a programmer and put some python code together that would download something using ftp but modevia.com does not let me login. If I am going to continue doing occasional testing I would like to be able to run a script to download the latest revision without manual intervention. Am I going to the wrong place or should something other than ftp be used?

Thanks.

I don't know the server set up of modevia.com--does it run an FTP server for access to those files? So if I were doing it I would be reading in the HTML from the HTTP site and extracting the links from there to download.
