Hi,
On the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/upgrade-version/
Upgrading Django to a newer version] page, the link for the release notes
under Required Reading depends on which version of the docs you are
viewing. For example, if you are viewing the 1.5 docs, the link will take
you to the Django 1.5 version of that page. This is a feature, not a bug,
in most other cases. In this case however, going to the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/releases/ Django 1.5 version of the
release notes] page gives you the false impression that no release notes
past 1.5 have been made available. The
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/upgrade-version/ dev version
of the release notes page] has all of the release notes (always).
Either the link for the release notes should always point to the dev
version of that page or there should be some text added to the top of each
release notes page telling people how to access ALL of the release notes.
It's a small issue, but it's very confusing and could be avoided with just
a small fix.
Thanks
