[website] Latest version of page links
Hello all, I finally got round to finishing off the links from old documentation to the latest version. It's a little hacked in so the markup isn't wonderful, and it only works for libraries whose documentation is altered by the site's php scripts. That's usually the documentation with no frames and the green header (some libraries put the green header in themselves, it won't work for them). At the moment it's just on the beta site, for example: http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/phoenix/doc/html/index.html Not all pages have a page in the same location in the most recent version, so for some pages you will just get a link to the latest documentation list: http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/doc/html/boost/units/si/constants/coda... This will go live soonish. I might tweak it a little first, maybe change the wording on the notices, but it's pretty much done for now. Please try it out with your favourite documentation to check I haven't made too much of a mess. thanks, Daniel

Perhaps you could make the entire yellow box an anchor rather than just text within it. When I view it in mobile Safari, the box partially obscures the text on the right side of the header. I think you can make the message a little more succinct: "Click here to view the latest version of this documentation." This is a handy change despite the foregoing. Thank you. ___ Rob

OK, I've just done that.

It always obscures that text unless you've got a particularly wide window. Originally I put the box under the header, but it's complicated to get that to work well for all the documentation (since different stylesheets are used on different pages). So I had to put it somewhere, and I didn't want to mess around with the existing elements too much.

I've done that as well, and just pushed this to the live site. You might need to reload to get the new version of the style sheet.
