Thanks for the notice. I think I have changed it so the most recent
version is advertised. Can you verify that? Please take a look at
http://sf.net/p/maxima/files and let us know.
For the record, in case other project admins are listening in, when an
admin views the file list, he can click on the "i" icon (information)
and edit the project information, which includes a check box to make
that file the default download for some operating systems.

There is a new version of the installer (same Maxima version). If you
have a moment, can you try installing the new version & let us know
how it works.
