Hi Lars -

That period between a release and when the next version is copied to a new
directory does happen to be a slightly awkward spot.
Generally, yes, you copy the 0.7.0 version to an 0.8.0 directory and
rebuild it all with 'ant'.

Now, if you have a contribution for the docs then you can certainly do it
in 0.7.0 - as long as it is for a feature that exists in 0.7.0.
Then when someone else copies it to 0.8.0 it will move with it.

We treat the current release docs as a living breathing documentation
rather than freezing it with the release. This way we can fix
things in it while working on the next release.

It might make sense to add the copying of the directory to the next release
as part of the release process. Though fixes to the docs for a recent
release are easier when it is the latest version in the docs too. It is
something to consider anyway.

thanks,

--larry
