Rhino Versions

A professional, automatically-updated dashboard for the latest Rhino 3D build downloads and version history.

🌐 Live Site: rhinoversions.github.io

How It Works

This repository uses GitHub Actions to automatically aggregate data from NuGet RhinoCommon packages daily. It validates download URLs and updates the static frontend hosted on GitHub Pages.

The dashboard renders its version list with JavaScript, so scripts/generate_pages.py also writes a plain-HTML page for every build (e.g. /rhino/8/8.17.25066/), an index page per major version, and sitemap.xml. These pages carry the exact version numbers in their titles so search engines can index them; the daily workflow regenerates them whenever the data changes.

Key Features

• Daily Updates: Build data reflects the latest NuGet releases.
• Direct Downloads: Immediate access to Windows and Mac installer builds.
• Version History: Comprehensive searchable history for Rhino 6, 7, 8, and 9 (Early preview).
• Clean UI: Minimalist, list-based dashboard inspired by official Rhino tooling.
• Responsive: Full mobile and touch-target support.
