I can't really give a review on this PR as I don't know Antorra. If you want by comment: I don't think this will change Google's ranking, there are pros and cons: - have in a stable "latest" version link is good because longer living pages may appear on top of serach results, so people will use them. But there may also be teh problem of older links disappearing von Google, because they are no longer referenced: When they are live they are redirceted to "latest". Once they are no longer alive they are invisible, unless we link them explicit. - always redirecting to "latest" seems bad to me, as it makes it impossible to add permlinks. Or is there the possibility to get some "permlink" button on each page? So somebody citing a specific page can make a persistent link? So I am mixed feelings. As coming from "science" where persistent URLs for each verison are important, I tend to think that redirecting to "latest" is not best idea. From a business person opinion of course linking to latest is fine. If both works: No redirect and both pages are visible next to each other with separate URLs, I would be happy. But the page should have a "canonic url" meta header to inform Google about the duplicates and which version is the one to "bookmark" (the versioned one). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
