Updates "What's New" URL

Hi,

I have a patch that updates "What's New" URL to point to the 9.2 release notes (see attached).

One reason I'm commenting on this trivial change is that it is something we do need to remember to do every release.
Perhapsthere might be an easier method to update the "What's New" page, perhaps having it point automatically to the
newversion of the release notes once we release?

Thanks - I've committed and pushed it. The change should show up soon.

Doesn't seem unreasonable.

Hm, not showing up for me yet, perhaps it's still in varnish?

One alternative thought - we setup something in the docs that's a URL i.e. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-notes/ (or /whats-new/) that just links or redirects to the current release notes.  Perhaps there is some coding magic we can do to find the latest release from that

Fixed now.

Well we have the version info in the database iirc. See the Versions model. Patches welcome :-)

As a first step, did you put it on the wiki page (in the pgweb project) that lists which steps should be made for each major release? Since its something that only happens once a year, and we have to change a bunch of other pages (such as which docs versions exist) then anyway, I think it's acceptable to have it as a manual process. (i won't stand in the way if someone wants to automate it of course...)

Nope - $excuse_of_the_day is that I had just had a tooth ground down to a peg in preparation for a crown, so I was feeling a little under the weather :-)

I've added it to the wiki now.
