Point Release
Important remark
Point releases are mainly updates from previous versions. Therefore, there is no need to create any type of new pages. We just need to update the main ones with the right information. The release notes is a good example: One must update those in order to provide the up-to-date information about the most recent version of the release.
Below you can find a list of the most important pages to edit. If you're doing this before the release day, please ensure to create it on a different page - say +1 or just add the release numbers after the official pages. If you do this, don't forget to eliminate those pages after the release. In the need of creating a new page, please add your name in the "Done" column with an hyperlink for the page you have created.
