Hi, another option could be to move to ReadTheDocs as they provide versioning of the documentation.
Kind regards, Dr. Marco Roose -----Original Message----- From: monit-general [mailto:monit-general-bounces+marco.roose=mpibpc.mpg...@nongnu.org] On Behalf Of Nils Steinger Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2017 5:47 PM To: monit-general@nongnu.org Subject: Improvement suggestion: versioned documentation Dear Monit developers, currently, the online documentation only covers the most recent Monit version: https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html However, due to packaging delays and version freezes for various *nix distributions, it is often not possible to have the most recent version installed at all times. It would be very helpful to keep the documentation for previous versions online when a new version is released. That way, a user could quickly check the docs for their Monit version without having to connect to their actual Monit machine. It would also make it possible to run diff on two documentation versions to get a quick overview of any new features or changed configuration options (more concise and less confusing than digging through all release notes, since the changes from one release might have been changed again by a later one). The change could be as easy as renaming monit.html to something like monit-5.23.html and symlinking monit.html to the most recent version on your server. Alternatively, there are also externally hosted solutions like readthedocs.org that can re-generate the directory structure automatically whenever a new commit is made or a new version is released. Could you please consider implementing this? The usability improvement it provides would be much appreciated.
