ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-5575   Re: in old releases, warn users and guide them to the latest stable docs GitHub user alpinegizmo opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3242 FLINK-5575[docs] reworked the mechanism that warns users about … …newer docs so that only the most recent out-of-date release has to be updated when a new release is made available. Defining latest_stable_url wasn't a very scalable approach, since this value would have to be updated in every old release. This has been replaced with a redirect from flink.apache.org/q/stable-docs.html. It would make sense to merge this PR into the release-1.2 branch, though it isn't strictly necessary. Also, release-1.1 will need to be updated when 1.2 is released.
