Python, Django, Ruby, Rails, Node.js, jQuery all have multi-version docs online. I'm sure there are plenty more examples. Yes, I do feel entitled to having support for outdated but still relevant software. This is standard.
The latest version of bootstrap only just got released. I think a majority of users will still find the old docs relevant, even weeks later.
Yes, I realise I can still download the docs. But it's more convenient for some people to have it hosted online.
While the attitude is a little entitled, there may still be a valid point for other users as well. Couldn't se properly crafted URLs on the homepage solve this problem? Like /tags/2.0/documentation/index.html [1]. And run it right off of bootstrap?
Edit: the point being that we can point links at pages from previous commits, branches, and tags
Shouldn't this help?
[1] that URL was slightly bastardized but I'm sure someone could very quickly whip this up
Boy I was half asleep when I wrote that comment, all I was saying was that since github lets you reference previous versions of files by crafting the URL properly to include a tag/branch/hash, it should be possible to link to previous versions of the documentation straight from the latest version, eliminating the need for someone to clone the repo to access them.
