Comment(by grafik):

 I didn't define 'live' at all. I tried to explain what the subversion repo
 does not contain in the same terms you used. The 'live' tag in the svn
 repo is just a name. But whatever, not really important... If you want to
 update the Boost release documentation that appear on the web site you
 need to:

   1. Create a Boost release ZIP archive.
   2. Upload it to the web server to the directory
 "/home/grafik/www.boost.org/archives/live".
   3. Update the SVN repo "/website/public_html/beta" and
 "/website/public_html/live" files as described in the web site update
 instructions to point to the new release.

 So I ask the same question I asked on my first reply, but hopefully in
 better words :-) Do we want the GSG to be treated differently than the
 other release documentation? I.e. make it so that we show a more recent
 version on the web site than the ones on the releases by default? I'll
 gladly make the needed changes, just need to know what the end result
 should be.

 Oh, and I had no idea the GSG told people to look at the web site for a
 new version.
