Personally I find that old documentation generally comes before new
documentation in Google searches because the algorithm favours age of
presence and hits and does not factor in project version number.  I find
this awfully horrible and frustrating.  Any SEO that can be applied to
Gradle websites to ensure the most up to date documentation always comes
higher up the Google search results, the better.  

I'd hypothesize that moving older documentation (so as to change the
URL) when new documentation is released would help, but I am not an SEO
expert.
