</span><a href="http://erldocs.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">erldocs.com</a> allows you to view the documentation for a particular<br>
version (though I dislike <a href="http://erldocs.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">erldocs.com</a> for other reasons...). </blockquote><div>I know there are workarounds to that, that's why I have bookmarks to the documentation for the version I'm using, but looking for a solution to something that in fact should help me find the solution to my initial problem, seems a bit wrong to me.<div>Anyway, seems I'm not the only one hitting this issue.<br></div></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">There's<br>
also the question of how long you treat functionality as "new". There<br>
are parts of the Erlang documentation that say things like "this<br>
changed in R5B". Does anyone still care?<br>
<br>
This is something that (again) the postgres documentation does<br>
right[1], if only Google would search only the current version (it's<br>
not always what you want, but at least it's predictable).<br>
<br>
[1] the top of the 9.5 documentation pages has "This page in other<br>
versions: 9.1 / 9.2 / 9.3 / 9.4 / current (9.5) | Development<br>
versions: devel / 9.6 | Unsupported versions: 7.2 / 7.3 / 7.4 / 8.0<br>
/ 8.1 / 8.2 / 8.3 / 8.4 / 9.0", which links as appropriate.<br>
