Re: [Springframework-developer] Spring Framework 1.2 RC1 released

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

I would keep both around as well. There's a bit of a question as to what 
should be the version of the docs which people get when they hit a doc 
url without the version number. Despite 1.2RC1 being pretty solid, it 
perhaps makes sense to keep the 1.1.5 docs as the official ones until 
1.2 final is out.

The changelog and dtd are fine even if they are the new one, as they 
encompass older information.
