For. Tomcat 4/5/6 the README.html stays pretty much the same and the per release information is found in a file called RELEASE-NOTES. This file is copied to the archives. I believe this is standard across Apache so we should use it for the connectors too.

Every rule has an exception ;). You are right. For binaries, dist should contain the latest *available* stable binary and the the latest *available* non-stable release if it is more more recent than the latest stable one. > Then I found on the main docu page: > http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ > that there are direct links to the previous source versions, but all end up > in a 'NOT FOUND'; > should we change these to point to the archive now? I would point all of these to the download pages. We should never include links directly to the Apache download area fo rthe latest release. We should use the mirrors. Pointing to our download pages is the quickest way of doing this.
