Hi all,

I remember that especially long-time users of GDC and LDC complained from time to time about non-versioned docs. There's a simple solution now: docarchives.dlang.io and contains snapshots from dlang.org at every release from 2.074.0 to 2.066.0:

https://docarchives.dlang.io/v2.074.0
...
https://docarchives.dlang.io/v2.070.0
...
https://docarchives.dlang.io/v2.066.0

Ideas for the future:
- Add a header bar to allow switching between versions
- Use the docs.json files to generate an aggregated symbol and argument lifetime for the current Ddox (e.g. symbol A introduced in X, argument B introduced in Y)

It's deployed on Netlify's Global CDN - so speed shouldn't be an issue ;-)

Source: https://github.com/wilzbach/dlang.org-archives (contains the snapshots)

Cheers,

Seb

Wow, that theme is bringing back moments of nostalgia.

- Search bar returns results specific to the archive version.
- Make it part of dlang site. ;)

Thanks for doing this.

IMO there should be a link under the "switch to pre-release." link in the current docs.

Maybe replace it with a dropdown to select the version from 2.066 to pre-release?
