"""
The clone plugin version requirements were relaxed to allow cloning between different point releases in the same series. In other words, only the major and minor version numbers must match when previously the point release number also had to match.

For example, clone functionality now permits cloning 8.4.0 to 8.4.14 and 8.0.51 to 8.0.37. For 8.0, previous restrictions still apply to versions older than 8.0.37, so cloning the likes of 8.0.36 to 8.0.42 or vice-versa is not permitted. (Bug #36293529, WL #15989)

but we dont have this 8.0.51 version, should be a typo here.

How to repeat:
documentation.

Suggested fix:
8.0.51 to 8.0.37. --> 8.0.17 to 8.0.37.

Hello Shawn Yan,

Thank you for the report and feedback.
I assume the version were mentioned in the general context but will notify doc team for now. 

regards,
Umesh

Not a bug. In this case, the reference is to a hypothetical future (as yet unreleased) version.

The suggested "fix" is incorrect, since the changelog entry states,

> For 8.0, previous restrictions still apply to versions older than 8.0.37, so 
> cloning the likes of 8.0.36 to 8.0.42 or vice-versa is not permitted.

The changelog entry also refers to cloning 8.4.0 to 8.4.14, and 8.4.14 also doesn't *yet* exist, although this isn't mentioned by the submitter.

Nevertheless, I have made some wording and other changes in the changelog entry which I hope will make things clearer. These will be visible on our website shortly.

Thanks!
