Ruby on Rails Saturday, July 26, 2014

I strongly support Josh's opinion. It's extremely hard to find information on specific rails versions and you can't even tell which version you're currently following when you're reading a guide. It's a pity that the maintainers seem to not care much about people not living on the edge.
What about a delivery point where people could drop the documentation they've generated for specific releases and make it available to the community?
MySQL for example has a full set of documentation for each release ...

Yea, I know how to generate my own docs, and apidock is... okay.  Both of the proposed solutions so far are missing the point.  api.rubyonrails.org should host, at a minimum, all currently supported versions.  Once that's done it should be trivial to support as far back as the docs remain in the same format.

First, let me say that api.rubyonrails.org is awesome.  Whoever is hosting it - thank you.  It blows all the other api tools out of the water in terms of usability.  Yay!

That said, how come http://api.rubyonrails.org/v3.0.15 doesn't show me the 3.0.15 docs?  3.0.x is still actively maintained and supported.  What about any other old version. I'm sure some folks would find this very useful.  It is exceedingly difficult to get decent-to-use docs for old versions of rails.

Think we can make that happen somehow?

Love,
Josh

P.S. Same could be said for the guides.rubyonrails.org.  I'm aware http://guides.rubyonrails.org/v2.3.8/ is available, but that's just because it's ingrained.  As far as I can tell it's not readily linked to anymore.  Are there other versions of the guides?
