1. Some links to "previous version" seem wrong

   Hi all,
   
   while browsing release notes to upgrade one installation to latest 15.7,
   I noticed that while for example the release notes[1] for that version says
   
     Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 15.6, see
     Section E.2.
   
   and "section E.2" is indeed a link to 15.6 notes, the page related to
   15.4[2] says
   
     Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 15.1, see
     Section E.7.
   
   Is that correct? I mean, I'd expect it to say "earlier than 15.3, see
   section E.5"... The same happens on the 15.3 page[3].
   
   Thanks and bye,
   lele.

   Yes, the wording and links are correct.
   
   If you are upgrading from 15.2 or 15.3 to 15.4 there is no “see also” to
   worry about.
   
   The point of that sentence is not to provide a simple always-present link
   to the prior release notes.  It is to warn about special update concerns if
   the update is not trivial.

   I see, thanks for the clarification!
   
   Bye, lele.
