David Anderson updated FLINK-5575:
----------------------------------
Description:
Old versions of Flink (especially version 0.8) are being frequently studied,
downloaded, and used by new users (because google leads them there). I propose
to guide folks to the latest stable release by adding a link on every
documentation page in the old docs that links to the home page of the latest
stable docs.
The redirect lives at flink.apache.org/q/stable-docs.html, and will need to be
modified with each major release (e.g. when 1.2 is released).
This problem affects all releases before 1.1, but the stats show that 0.8, 0.9,
and 1.0 are the most important to deal with.
