How to link to latest version?

[andreastt]

I’m sorry in advance if this is not the right forum for a question about docs.rs.

docs.rs provides a convenient way of linking types in documents such as change logs to API documentation, but I quite often want to link to the latest version of the type.

For example with https://docs.rs/webdriver/0.30.0/webdriver/error/enum.ErrorStatus.html, being able to replace 0.30.0 with latest, which would redirect you to the latest version of the documentation would be useful so that one wouldn’t have to revisit documentation to update the links when a new version becomes available.

You can use newest (someone suggested this earlier, latest seems more reasonable) or * for the version. This currently have some sort of browser cache issue but I'll redirect this requests to actual latest version in future, so it should be ok.

newest doesn't seem to work when linking to the source code.

https://docs.rs/crate/sfml/newest/source/examples/ just shows an empty page.

I wanted to use this as a workaround for #132.

Yeah, looks like source tab is not semver compatible. I was planning to improve source browser, this feature also needs to be added.
