For Jenkins 1.577, several help files were moved to LDAP plugin and therefore deleted in core, see https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/commit/e91782e78f1ade105c5f9ce11088bf9c95618180.
      The LDAP plugin's version (1.6) was not updated to the version containing the help files (1.11), so the help links are invalid unless you manually update LDAP plugin to 1.11.

      Example link:
      Manage Jenkins/Configure Global Security/Access Control: Security Realm = LDAP, help for "Server"

          https://github.com/jenkinsci/ldap-plugin/blob/master/pom.xml#L121 seems to me that this should be carefully considered.

          I agree the incomplete changelog does not fill me with confidence either. I presume reverting https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/commit/e91782e78f1ade105c5f9ce11088bf9c95618180 in stable branch would be less risky.

          Alternatively, create LDAP 1.6.1 for bundling with 1.609.x. Seems cleaner and we don't have to think about which files will get used with newer LDAP Plugin versions that also bundle them.

          Should I revert https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/commit/824662a84dc7aceab8acd6f0e682377cd1b371a0 for now so that the plugin update does not make it into an official Jenkins version?

          I'd like to know what's incompatible. The changelog seems to indicate this is only a warning about downgrading being broken, which we probably could ignore.

          https://github.com/jenkinsci/ldap-plugin/commit/4a80681fe19a4c8d88dd82be6393f215cf5420c9 seems harmless enough, so this seems fine despite the warning (in fact, it's a weird one as it only affects downgrading).

          There is no reason to revert this on master. As it was not released yet I target this for 1.609.2.

          After this is released, I'll update the plugin's wiki page:

          However, for backwards compatibility purposes, subsequent core releases still bundle the (old) version.
