"File Information" file field to upload a release .zip does not save the file, version numbers are not saved.

It doesn't upload or save the file after saving a new release.
The release does get added, but the only data that I see in the "View all releases" is the description and date for each release. No file or version numbers are stored with the release. There is no title either but I suspect from skimming the code it might be procedural using version#s, which would explain the title's absence if the version #'s aren't saved.

On the project page, there are no releases shown. I have to show all releases to see any releases, and that page is pretty sparse since the releases have no titles or associated files.

I can successfully upload a file if it's as an attachment, but that defeats the purpose of the release module IMHO.

I expect I am doing something wrong, because after scouring drupal.org for hours now I see nothing quite like this being reported except for this one, which isn't quite the same because I'm not seeing any errors. It just silently fails to do what I'm expecting it to do.

I am not using CVS. The goal is to create a new release for each new version of a zipfile, upload that zip with each release, and let people access older versions if they feel like it through the previous releases link.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Eric
