What's your proposed fix? Change the order of the release notes?  
Change the meaning of the Next/Previous buttons? I understand what  
you're getting at, but I don't see a solution that really improves  
things.

I think it's because the releases are listed newest first, so when you hit 
next you're not getting the next release, but the next release notes. While 
perhaps a bit confusing on the individual pages, I still think it's best to 
have the release notes in reverse chronological order.


Yeah.  It is confusing if you _think_ about it, but if you just use it,
it's fine (after all, we've been using it this way for years.  I mean
even Joshua used to use it and not notice it was backwards).


Well yes and no. I noted that it was confused as soon as I started to 
use previous and next. I normally don't do that.

Probably the only thing you could actually do about it is change the
text in the link so it said "previous release" (resp. "next release")
instead of "next" (resp. "previous"), but I have zero idea what it would
take.  It's probably a lot more work than it's worth, if it's possible
at all.

 so when you
hit next you're not getting the next release, but the next release 
notes. While perhaps a bit confusing on the individual pages, I still 
think it's best to have the release notes in reverse chronological order.
