It seems to me that this info should be in the "Installing Bro" document, since upgrading from a previous version will be a very common scenario. ---

Good point, maybe we need an "updating" section there. Robin ---

If you want, you could just merge it into master, then I can change it later to point to the "Installing Bro" material (as part of my documentation work for 2.2). -Daniel ---

Sounds good. Btw, it's a bit unfortunate that we have put the FAQ document into the distribution as that means it won't update on the web server until the next release comes out. That's something I think we should chnage in the future: the FAQ shouldn't be tied to a specific version but maintained separately as a web page instead. Robin ---

Github has an interesting approach to how it generates the optional "Github pages" documentation. It uses a specific branch ("gh-pages") from your repository, to generate them. Assuming I'm understanding this properly, one potential option would be to have a specific branch that the documentation up on the web server is generated from.   --Vlad ---

But don't we have the same issue when, for example, someone corrects an error in the documentation? (the correction won't appear in the docs until the next Bro release) As a sort of workaround, whenever I look at the documentation on the web site, I choose the "Development" option under the "Documentation" tab, so that I always see the most recent version of the docs. -Daniel ---
