That's a very good point Nick! I'd know how we could add rel=canonical tag to 0.94 pages if we remove those. Also, how could we add this tag to generated javadoc files (e.g. canonical link between 1.4 and 3.0 javadoc)? I did not find any solutions online to automate this process. What we can do is to add a redirect rule to .htaccess with something like this:
RedirectMatch permanent ^/0.94/(.*)$ /$1 I think it could work for most of the links. An example: https://hbase.apache.org/devapidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/HTable.html https://hbase.apache.org/0.94/devapidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/HTable.html On Tue, Feb 5, 2019 at 3:58 AM Misty Linville <[email protected]> wrote: > We should add rel=canonical info to all the headers and always point to the > latest as canonical. > > On Mon, Feb 4, 2019 at 2:56 PM William Shen <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > If we are concerned about SEO, we should try to set up 301 Redirect to > the > > latest doc when we remove 0.94.
