What is the current version of the 802.11r standard
I'm looking for WiFi mesh standards (802.11s, 802.11r, 802.11k, 802.11v). For example I have found 802.11r-2008 on IEEE's site (here). The page says that the standard is superceded, but it doesn't point to what superceded it. I have searched for 802.11r-2009 through 802.11r-2016 and come up short. Any idea what's going on with this standard?

It was superceded by 802.11-2012.
In 2007, task group TGmb was authorized to "roll up" many of the amendments to the 2007 version of the 802.11 standard. REVmb or 802.11mb, as it was called, created a single document that merged ten amendments (802.11k, r, y, n, w, p, z, v, u, s) with the 2007 base standard. In addition much cleanup was done, including a reordering of many of the clauses. Upon publication on March 29, 2012, the new standard was referred to as IEEE 802.11-2012.
