Comment (by russellm):
This has been reported in the past; historically, the usage pattern has
been:
* Search for <new feature> in documentation
* Find page in the documentation for version N
* Read the header on the page that says that documentation applies to
version N and "Click here for version N-1"
* But the header is a dumb block of text, so it links to the
corresponding, but nonexistent page in the version N-1 docs.
Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot we can do without making the header
a lot smarter with regards to documentation that doesn't exist. This is
certainly possible, but has been more effort than anyone has been willing
to put into the problem. Volunteers welcome :-)
