I think most people actively involved in the community are compiling Zig from master branch or downloading the nightly builds. Zig releases are tied to LLVM so there's usually 6 months between releases, which is way too much time to stay without new features, given the speed of improvement of the language. I think yours is a fair point, but that's how things are. If you prefer using a tagged version and not have to be too involved in the latest developments of Zig, please consider waiting until 0.8.0 at the very least.

The site specifically instructs you to visit the releases page which only offers 0.6.0

  This is just not true, the master build is literally the first thing you see on the download page. Don't get me wrong, it should be clarified on the ziglearn website anyway.

    >This is just not true, the master build is literally the first thing you see on the download page. "Literally the first thing" that I see on the download page is: >Releases >You can also [install Zig from a package manager.](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Install-Zig-from-a-Package-Manager https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Install-Zig-from-a-Packa...) Going by the AUR package script and the table in the wiki itself, those instructions will install 0.6.0. This is also what gravitas said in the OP of this thread. Anyway, I see ziglearn.org has now been fixed to make it clear, with https://github.com/Sobeston/ziglearn/commit/10b14426e26ffcdbd66cc09019ab78e00584d1b9 https://github.com/Sobeston/ziglearn/commit/10b14426e26ffcdb... , so all's well now.
