I am sure it is pretty common for users of boost to use google to search for documentation/tutorials on their favorite library in boost.
Yes.
Maybe there's a reasonable solution within Boost's control. I wonder if it's possible to "automatically" put a banner near the top of all documentation pages for previous releases, that warns the reader they are not looking at the current release, preferably with a link to the likely location of the current page under /doc/libs/release/... rather than e.g. /doc/libs/1_34_1/...
I *think* the problem is that /doc/libs/release/ redirects to /doc/libs/<latest version number>/, whereas it probably should be the other way around... Or at least they could mirror one another but be distinct pages, and all links on the site would go to /doc/libs/release/ -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
