Documentation: Correct version positioning - 5.0.0 is new LTS Fix version positioning across documentation to reflect that ExaBGP 5.0.0 is the new LTS (Long-Term Support) release, not 4.x. ## Corrections **Previous (incorrect):** - 5.0.0: Current stable - 4.x: LTS **Corrected:** - 5.0.0: LTS (new long-term support release) - 4.x: Maintenance mode (critical fixes only, no new features) ## Files Updated 1. **Home.md** - Version compatibility section - 5.0.0 marked as "LTS - Recommended" - 4.x marked as "Previous Stable" in maintenance mode - Clear guidance: new users should use 5.0.0 2. **Getting-Started/First-BGP-Session.md** - Which version to use - 5.0.0: LTS - Recommended - 4.x: Previous Stable - Maintenance mode - Decision guide updated: new deployments → 5.0.0 3. **Migration/From-4.x-to-5.x.md** - Timeline and recommendation - Timeline: 5.0.0 is new LTS, 4.x enters maintenance mode - Recommendation: 5.0.0 is now the LTS release 4. **Migration/Breaking-Changes.md** - Development policy - 5.0.0: LTS with new features and updates - 4.x: Maintenance mode (critical fixes only) ## Rationale Thomas Mangin clarified that 5.0.0 is the new LTS, following the pattern where 3.4 was deprecated when 4.x became LTS, and now 4.x is in maintenance mode as 5.0.0 becomes the new LTS. 🤖 Generated with Claude Code (https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Documentation: Tone down urgency language in From-3.4-to-4.x Minor wording adjustments in From-3.4-to-4.x.md: - Removed "immediately" from upgrade recommendation - Removed "significant" before "breaking changes" Maintains the critical message about Python 2 EOL while using slightly softer tone. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Add wiki link validation system and fix 286 broken internal links Added comprehensive link validation to prevent committing broken wiki links: **New validation system:** - scripts/validate-wiki-links.py - Validates all internal wiki links - scripts/fix-wiki-links.py - Auto-fixes common link format issues - .git/hooks/pre-commit - Git hook to block commits with broken links - scripts/README.md - Complete documentation - scripts/USAGE.md - Quick start guide **Link fixes applied (286 fixes across 62 files):** - Fixed GitHub wiki link format (removed directory prefixes) - Changed [Text](Getting-Started-Quick-Start) → [Text](Quick-Start) - Changed [Text](Use-Cases-DDoS-Mitigation) → [Text](DDoS-Mitigation) - Changed [Text](Address-Families-FlowSpec-FlowSpec-Overview) → [Text](FlowSpec-Overview) **Validation status:** - Before: 797 broken links in 67 files - After: 300 broken links in 26 files (mostly links to non-existent files) - Improvement: 63% reduction in broken links **How the system works:** 1. Pre-commit hook runs automatically on `git commit` 2. Validates all staged markdown files 3. Blocks commits if broken links found 4. Can be bypassed with `--no-verify` (not recommended) **Remaining errors:** - Links to files that don't exist yet (Health-Checks.md, Environment-Variables.md, etc.) - These will need to be created or removed - Anchor warnings (non-critical, won't block commits) **Usage:** ```bash # Check for broken links python3 scripts/validate-wiki-links.py # Auto-fix links python3 scripts/fix-wiki-links.py # Commit (hook runs automatically) git commit -m "message" ``` Note: Using --no-verify for this commit because some links point to files that don't exist yet. Future commits will be validated automatically. 👻 Ghost written by Claude (Anthropic AI)
