Scala version announcements permalink are missing the trailing slash since 2.12.3

Since 2017, I guess by mistake, the permalink in the scala announcements is missing the trailing slash.
Thus, the URL for 2.12.1 was:
https://www.scala-lang.org/news/2.12.1/

and since then, it's:
https://www.scala-lang.org/news/2.12.3

You can see the list here:
https://www.scala-lang.org/news/

So, now it's just a file name without any extension. The web server serves the file with no content-type instead of "Content-Type: text/html", because it doesn't know which kind of file it could be.

I would suggest to just add the missing trailing slash in these permalinks. As the web server will automatically redirects to the directory content, the previous URI will still be valid, so no risk to break any existing link.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take care of it after we announce 2.13.16.

for new Scala 2 releases, scala/make-release-notes@b37441d should fix it

to fix existing releases, I've submitted #1735

@WojciechMazur is there something you can tweak so that future Scala 3 releases have the right permalink information?

[WojciechMazur]

Sure, I'll adjust it, I was not aware of this problem
