    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TOOLSDOC-618?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13052774#comment-13052774 ] 

Misha Ali commented on TOOLSDOC-618:
------------------------------------

We usually just use web labels to make the Version appear to be {Version} Beta for non-GA content, and then just {Version} for GA content. 

The reason we just use Beta to indicate non-GA content (and usually Release Notes have the specific milestone in the title instead) is to prevent unnecessary overhead in changing the version web label and republishing all docs, irrespective of any actual updates, to the new version. Unless there is a compelling reason for extra work in updating the metadata for every single document for every milestone, docs would  prefer to continue to use this way to indicate the changes.

Would you prefer to discuss this some more, [~mmalina] (which I am happy to do) or are you OK to close this as NOTABUG?

> I noticed that JBDS 8.1.0.CR1 Release Notes are listed under 8.1.0.Beta1 version of the product:
> https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio/8.1/html/8.1.0_CR1_Release_Notes/index.html
> In the URL it says just 8.1, so it seems that this will eventually be used for all 8.1 (GA) docs. Maybe. But right now it seems a bit confusing.
