[hibernate-dev] missing reference documentation for Hibernate Search beta

Sat Mar 6 09:56:41 EST 2010

I think pre-final releases fit into the same pattern.  they are simply 
the "latest" for a given major.minor.  All along we could have been 
pushing 3.5 docs to docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.5

i actually wanted to upload them too as myself and others had documented 
other non-jpa things.  the issue really is the difficulty in getting 
docs on docs.jboss.org.

I was more thinking of (manually) pushing the docs as they are in the project trunk if there is a noticeable difference with the latest stable. But as Sanne said, he is more interested in pushing docs for beta / cr versions, not necessarily what's in trunk.
