documentation per release suggestion

Probably this has been suggested before, but, couldn't the docs be tagged and released to the website with the version number in the path?

That way, one could always look at the docs that are most relevant for the versions one is using. Once written, you'd never have to touch them again.

The latest docs could be in a symlinked directory 'latest' or 'current'.

Exim, the mailer, does this (always has), and it is really a joy to use (the docs for Exim are very thoroughly written, too).

http://docs.exim.org/current/spec_html/index.html
http://docs.exim.org/4.69/spec_html/index.html

This would prevent questions and emails like

, assuming people read the docs before asking questions, of course.

Just an idea,
