That is the latest one!!

I think we are all in agreement ultimately.
Since we are in testing-only mode right now, there is no good reason to
make people re-download the entire ISO everytime.  This is like the
daily build, and since it is not possible to upgrade an ISO, zsync
provides a nice way of updating everything.  zsync already checks and
provides the md5sum information.  But I agree that I should put an
md5sum on the site... that is very true!

  I could rename the oldISO folder to ISO, and put the latest date there
and link from in that directory.  This way there would be only 1 ISO in
the base folder, and there would be a folder with images by date.  Would
this meet your requirements?

Also having a ToriOS-Beta file means if we link to it in an article it
will always be the latest (hopefully less bugs) version.
