Problem

deb-get install veracrypt extracted </h3> as the version and built a 404ing Launchpad URL (.../trunk/</h3>/+download/...). The Downloads page now renders "Latest Stable Release" as a bare <h3>…</h3> heading, so the old \S+ grab — with \s* and -? all optional — matched the heading's closing tag instead of a version (#2064).

Fix

Both veracrypt and veracrypt-console anchor on the <h4>Linux… line that follows the heading (the macOS line above it carries a different, newer version and must not match) and require a leading digit:

VERSION_PUBLISHED=$(sed -En 's|.*<h4>Linux[^-]*-\s*([0-9][0-9.]*).*|\1|p' "${CACHE_FILE}" | head -n1)

Testing

Against the live page as of today: the old expression yields </h3>; the new one yields 1.26.29 (the Linux release the URL is built from). Verified by running both expressions over a fresh download of Downloads.html; bash -n passes on both files, and the PR's package CI will exercise the real flow.

Closes #2064

See #2064 (comment), probably not a good idea if it's temporary.

Reworked in 7e363aa per the concern that the bare-<h3> markup may be temporary: post-time extraction now tries the original single-line pattern first (tightened to require a leading digit, so </h3> can never match again) and falls back to the <h4> Linux line only when that comes up empty. If the site reverts to the one-line form, the first pattern picks it up unchanged. POSIX character classes ([[:space:]], [[:digit:]]) throughout, so nothing depends on escaping. Both extractions verified against a fresh download of the live page: pattern 1 empty, pattern 2 → 1.26.29.
