[Qgis-user] Linking to the *current* docs

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi Jonathan,

We had this discussion some years ago.

We decided for latest and testing:

https://docs.qgis.org/latest/en/docs/user_manual/print_composer/index.html
is being redirected to:
https://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/user_manual/print_composer/index.html
but th 2.14 is also still available:
https://docs.qgis.org/2.14/en/docs/user_manual/print_composer/index.html

Current testing/master is:
https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/print_composer/index.html

https://docs.qgis.org/3.1/en/docs/user_manual/print_composer/index.html
is being  redirected to testing

All magic is done with some redirection in the apache.conf so if not
working, let us know.

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
