That was pretty sweet. However, it kind of goes to the point of my post. A one-revision difference means the documentation is not accurate for my compiler.

I'm not saying the language shouldn't evolve, I'm just saying it might make sense to keep compatibility changes to every 6 months or a year. Then you could keep the old documentation around for the old version, and create new documentation for the new version and no matter which version someone is using they would have documentation (within limits.)

The website is *supposed* to keep documentation for old versions around, and allow you to select them using the drop-down menu at the top-right:

However, it looks like this feature is currently broken, since the archived documentation stops at version 2.081. I've filed an issue in the appropriate repository [1], so hopefully that will be fixed soon.
