Apparently today the old Software Downloads page was officially retired. This is a sad event because it forces users to use the new Software Downloads page. You no longer have the ability to browse the entire line of available software in a simple list. I used to be able to filter All by Last Month and English to easily see a simple list of everything all at once and decide if there was anything new to download. Now I will have to check each product or category individually. No way to sort or filter by date. The New + Updated section can only list 15 items, so what happens if there are more than 15 newly updated items?
Here is a simple example of poor functionality of the downloads page. I selected LumenRT from the Brand list. This brought up two items Bentley LumenRT and Bentley LumenRT Content.
Please rethink the Downloads page and also reinstate the previously useful functionality.

Hi Ron,
Let me respond to LumenRT related examples. Lack of Date filter response here.

If the current Download page/application wasn't complete, why was it released?

Hi MaryB,
I would not describe new Software Download as an incomplete application. As with any other software, there are areas that can be improved up on and we do via regular updates. I see no need to list new features available but by far the most mentioned complains (fully justified) from our users was performance of the old application. Performance and greatly simplified UI were the primary reasons to push a new SWD to production.If you have any issue, or feature request please submit Service Request at https://apps.bentley.com/srmanager/ProductSupport selecting Software Downloads from product drop-down list so the issue can be properly evaluated and addressed.
Thank you, Pavel
