Summary

This PR makes it easier for users to find and download INAV Configurator and firmware by adding a dedicated Downloads section near the top of the README.

Problem

Currently, download links are buried in the Tools section lower in the document. New users have to:

  1. Land on the README
  2. Scroll down to find "Tools"
  3. Find the configurator link within that section
  4. Click through to releases

This is too many steps for a common user task.

Solution

Added a prominent Downloads section immediately after the INAV Community section with:

  • INAV Configurator download link using /releases/latest URL
  • INAV Firmware download link using /releases/latest URL
  • Clear instructions to select platform from Assets

Benefits

  • ✅ Reduces user friction - fewer clicks to find downloads
  • ✅ Improves UX for new users landing on the project
  • /releases/latest URLs automatically show the most current version
  • ✅ Clear platform selection instructions
  • ✅ Both configurator and firmware easily accessible

This change makes it easier for users to find and download INAV Configurator
and firmware by adding a dedicated Downloads section near the top of the README.

Previously, download links were buried in the Tools section lower in the document,
requiring users to scroll and search. The new Downloads section appears right
after the Community section, making it immediately visible to new users.

Benefits:
- Reduces user friction - fewer clicks to find downloads
- Improves user experience for new users
- Links use /releases/latest URLs that automatically show the latest version
- Clear instructions to select platform from Assets section

Branch Targeting Suggestion

You've targeted the master branch with this PR. Please consider if a version branch might be more appropriate:

  • maintenance-9.x - If your change is backward-compatible and won't create compatibility issues between INAV firmware and Configurator 9.x versions. This will allow your PR to be included in the next 9.x release.

  • maintenance-10.x - If your change introduces compatibility requirements between firmware and configurator that would break 9.x compatibility. This is for PRs which will be included in INAV 10.x

If master is the correct target for this change, no action is needed.


This is an automated suggestion to help route contributions to the appropriate branch.
