  from here:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/overview-manual/development-environment.html#

* section 3.3, "For any supported release of Yocto Project, you can
also go to the Yocto Project Website and select the “DOWNLOADS” item
from the “SOFTWARE” menu ...".  i do not see any link or menu entry
named "SOFTWARE". same claim is made a but further down.

  ah, the graphic on that page shows where it used to be, so that
graphic is clearly out of date.

  i think that's it for that section.

I don't think the website screenshot is adding value to the docs here.
We can drop the screenshot and update the text to match the current
website.

Are you able to send a patch for this?

Thanks,
