I'm confused trying to apply an update iRedAdmin has told me about. Here's the sequence of events:
1. iRedAdmin Control Panel says in red: Update available: 1.2 (the line above says it's currently 1.0)
2. Clicking on 1.2 brings up instructions to "Migrate or Upgrade iRedAdmin / iRedAdmin-Pro"
3. Section two ("Download the latest iRedAdmin") says "'... open source edition is available for download here"
4. "here" link from above takes me to a github tags list. In the entry 1.2, the tar.gz link points to https://github.com/iredmail/archive/1.2.tar.gz (which I've downloaded to /root/)

The Issue
-----------
Returning to the instructions (3. above), the next section ("Upgrade Steps") implies that the download file looks like iRedAdmin-x.y.z.tar.gz

But it doesn't, of course, it's simply 1.2.tar.gz

Is this just a documentation problem (and I should decompress and run it anyway) or have I gone wrong somewhere?

Thanks for help,
Paul

GitHub used to generate <project-name>-<version>.tar.gz, but seems it now simply generates <version>.tar.gz.

But if you uncompress it, you will get directory "iRedAdmin-1.2".
