Hi,
The PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide says in the release notes:
Release 7.1
Release date 2000-09-01.
I wish that was true!
Unfortunately, everwhere else on the site the latest release is 7.0.3.
See for your self: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/admin/release.htm
I guess you better correct this (of explain it).
Bye,
Edwin Martin.

Wow, I see it now from your URL. That is totally weird. It isn't even
close because it states the major 7.1 feature is block comments!
I noticed it does not mention 7.0.3. Must be some strange old version.
Somone, please help explain this.

The /docs directory is where the docs used to be. I was about to remove
it when I noticed you guys were still maintaining FAQs and stuff in it.
The only two real doc directories are in the user's lounge and developer's
corner. A number of people bookmarked the old location because of the
old site that used frames.

Oh, thanks. Seems we are better leaving the FAQ's in there because they
are changed so often as copies from CVS.

I turned the index page into a redirect so that should take care of the
problem with the exception of pages in the stale docs that are bookmarked.

I'd vote for physically removing the old docs. I'd rather people find
that their bookmark links are broken than that they continue to see
obsolete/incorrect docs ...

I agree, but since the dirs are owned by Thomas the best I could do for
now is rename them. Either Thomas or Marc can remove them.

The FAQs should be handled the same as the documentation proper, i.e.,
there should be one copy in the devel-corner reflecting current sources
and one copy in the users-lounge reflecting earlier releases. Lots of
these have changed for 7.1, but that doesn't help those using 7.0 right
now.
FAQ is a stupid name anyway. Additional installation hints is better.

I usually make the FAQ change during late beta, and mark stuff as 7.1
anyway. The TODO list should be updated constantly because it marks
stuff that will be done in the next release. I don't see an issue here.

That text agrees with what was in release.sgml back around July (see
release.sgml version 1.57 ... ain't CVS wonderful?). That was after
the 7.0.* branch-off. So what we have here is documents generated from
the development tip that aren't being updated.

We should get rid of the out-of-date documents, for sure. Maybe put in
a link to the ones that are kept up to date?
