That's your issue right there - no reason for a 2.1 docs tree :)
It should be the 2.2 docs tree (with something in the 2.1 tarballs
telling users that's the future version of this code.) Once all the
changes to HEAD are done for httpd-docs-2.0, it will branch, and new
work on the 2.3 dev will be sent again to cvs HEAD until 2.4 (or 3.0)
goes out the door.
To make things clearer, any textual context for the different docs
flavors should indicate 'Apache 2.2 future release (2.1 development)'.
2.1 is entirely developer/beta oriented.

Well, but it's still the 2.1 branch with 2.1 docs (docs-2.1/). And, of course,
once tagged and released (as alpha, beta, whatever) it *is* public. Though not
stable. That's a difference :)

Well, but it's still the 2.1 branch with 2.1 docs (docs-2.1/). And, of course,
once tagged and released (as alpha, beta, whatever) it *is* public. Though not

IMHO, no. 2.1 will never be a 'public' release by our versioning
definition. Only 2.2 will be something that we'd recommend to the general

As long as we just have 2.1, wouldn't it be better to have a new_features_2_1
document? We use the 2.1 version number all over the docs.
(and I don't see 2.2 tomorrow ;)

As long as we just have 2.1, wouldn't it be better to have a new_features_2_1
