Summary of Changes

Hello @qiancai, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refines the documentation structure by removing several top-level categories from the Table of Contents and reorganizing specific files. These changes aim to improve the overall navigability and logical grouping of content, making it easier for users to find relevant information within the documentation.

Highlights

  • Table of Contents Restructuring: Removed the 'Develop', 'Best Practices', and 'Release Notes' sections from the main Table of Contents (TOC.md) to streamline navigation.
  • Documentation Relocation: Relocated the 'TiDB Installation Packages' entry within TOC.md from the 'Release Notes' section to the 'References' section, and moved the 'java-app-best-practices.md' file from the 'best-practices/' directory to the 'develop/' directory.
  • Link Updates: Updated various internal and external links across several documentation files to reflect the new file paths and external URLs for release notes, ensuring all references are current and correct.

Code Review

This pull request refactors the documentation for release-6.1 by removing the 'Develop', 'Best Practices', and 'Release Notes' sections from the table of contents. It also involves moving some files and updating internal links to maintain consistency. The changes align with the stated goals in the pull request description.

I've provided a few suggestions to make instructions more direct and sentences easier to parse. The link updates are correct and necessary given the structural changes.
