Jon,

The way to get point-in-time docs for GDAL is to check out the last release 
branch for the version you care about and run doxygen or sphinx (3.0+) to build 
the HTML site.

Other than that, Sphinx does support multi-version tagging, but it would be a 
lot of work to retroactively apply tagging to the docs. A patch that did so 
would be welcomed.
