Moving to GitHub
In the beginning of 2018, we changed our homepage to be on github:
https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler
instead of "free-decompiler.com".
FFDec version 11.0.0 onwards references only the new Github homepage.
Reasons
- The main developer decided that it would be better the decompiler to not depend on any external site - domain, which might be unavailable in the future in case we decided to drop domain name or servers.
- The new GitHub approach also has advantages - for example versioning of the homepage texts, to be truly opensource.
- In case we drop decompiler support completely in the future, anyone can continue it using GitHub.
