Re: planning virtio 1.1: should latest version be updated?

Hi Michael,

No, the way we have set up our naming structure doesn't allow for that. We set up the Latest version links to take readers to the current version of the specific work product. Virtio v1.1 will be a new work product as will v2.0, etc.

We added a sentence in the Status section of the cover pages pointing readers to the Technical Work section of the TC's web page for any subsequent work products. I realize that's not perfect but we don't put pointers in that jump across the trees.

Chet, all,

We started getting patches destined for virtio 1.1.

I noticed that virtio spec versions include the following links:

Latest version:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/virtio-v1.0.pdf
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/virtio-v1.0.html

However, eventually (after we release virtio 1.1), we will probably
want to stop maintaining virtio 1.0 branch.

Would it be possible to place the latest version here instead:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1/virtio-v1.pdf
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1/virtio-v1.html

and additionally have the v1.0 versions redirect there
(for people that click links in the old released spec versions)?

Thanks!
