According to this page, the updated version for linux was released on the 
12th, Monday.  So I follow the link to the download, using latest wheezy 
iceweasel, click on it, and get a javascript:void(0) just by hovering 
over the download button.  And nothing is done on the click.

Whats missing or outdated?

Thank you.
