you'll be able to test the new release by replacing the link in your
HTML header and if that works ok, keep the new one.

Of course, the whole point of a release is to freeze
code. http://some-base-url/timeline/2.1.0/ may disappear at some point
in the future if the policy of the site is not to keep things in place
forever, but it should never change.
