Some links to "previous version" seem wrong

Hi all,

while browsing release notes to upgrade one installation to latest 15.7,
I noticed that while for example the release notes[1]https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/release-15-7.html for that version says

Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 15.6, see
Section E.2.

and "section E.2" is indeed a link to 15.6 notes, the page related to
15.4[2]https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/release-15-4.html says

Also, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 15.1, see
Section E.7.

Is that correct? I mean, I'd expect it to say "earlier than 15.3, see
section E.5"... The same happens on the 15.3 page[3]https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/release-15-3.html -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia. lele@metapensiero.it | -- Fortunato Depero, 1929..

Thanks and bye,
lele.

Yes, the wording and links are correct.

If you are upgrading from 15.2 or 15.3 to 15.4 there is no “see also” to
worry about.

The point of that sentence is not to provide a simple always-present link
to the prior release notes. It is to warn about special update concerns if
the update is not trivial.

I see, thanks for the clarification!

Bye, lele.
