The file links to https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/release-notes/, which is the permanent URL for the current stable docs. It does not change from one release to the next.

Please click the URL, and you see that https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/release-notes/ goes to 2.7, not 2.8.

$ curl -s https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/release-notes/ | grep "Release Notes"
  <title>NetBox v2.7 Release Notes - NetBox Documentation</title>
    var mkdocs_page_name = "NetBox v2.7 Release Notes";
