I'm a bit confuse by the question, so I'll answer it from two angles.

WRT loading the release notes themselves, basically it is using the data
found in the current doc imports. Often in the release notes, there are
URLs either to older release notes (like in the top line) or various
features/sections of the documentation (e.g. a GUC, a SQL command, etc.)

Within these notes themselves, all the URLs should work.

The patch also introduces a new set of URLs to present the release
notes, of the format:

/docs/release/11.2/
/docs/release/11.1/
/docs/release/11.0/

...

/docs/release/9.6.2/
/docs/release/9.6.1/
/docs/release/9.6.0/

...

(and some ugliness in the old ones, which I could maybe adjust, but for
now):

/docs/release/1.9/
/docs/release/1.2/
/docs/release/1.1/
/docs/release/1.0/
/docs/release/0.3/
/docs/release/0.1/

Yes. All the relnotes are now in this archive.

Please let me know if any of the above is unclear.

Thanks,
