How are you guys posting Legion addons on curse?

Turns out you can upload zips manually. Since Curseforge and Wowace don't yet support patch 7.x, you'd still want to put a note in your main description, preferably with the date.

Something like:

May 16, 2016

All zips created on or after this date are for the Legion expansion or 7.0.x pre-expasion patch, and will not work with live Warlords of Draenor servers. This starts with MyAddOn version 1234 and newer.

The Curse Client will update to newer versions, but if people can't or won't read, you aren't to blame!

I look at it this way: If Curse can't get its act together and be beta-/author-friendly, ignore 'em.

Heh, or put a big notice at the top of the project "For LEGION-BETA version of the addon, see [Link-To-WoW-Interface]"

Also, I doubt if that data would be displayed to users on the curse update client so you'd just screw over your users. If you must do that, you'd have to code differences with client-version-aware wrappers, which is just extra crap for authors to deal with. An author shouldn't have to code around the delivery site.
