----------------------------------------------
I am going to close this as a duplicate of ARROW-13260. And I am working on
this (should normally land for the 6.0 release)
> [Python] Provide links to documentation pages for old versions

> Key: ARROW-2939
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2939
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation, Python
> Reporter: Ian Robertson
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: documentation

> Hey folks, apologies if this isn't the right place to raise this. In poking
> around the web documentation (for pyarrow specifically), it looks like the
> auto-generated API docs contain commits past the release of 0.9.0. For
> example:
> *
> [https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.Table.html#pyarrow.Table.column]
> * Contains differences merged here:
> [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/1923]
> * But latest pypi/conda versions of pyarrow are 0.9.0, which don't include
> that change.
> Not sure if the docs are auto-built off master somewhere, I couldn't find
> anything about building docs in the docs itself. I would guess that you may
> want some of the usage docs to be published in between releases if they're
> not about new functionality, but the API reference being out of date can be
> confusing. Is it possible to anchor the API docs to the latest released
> version? Or even something like how Pandas has a whole bunch of old versions
> still available? (e.g. [https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/] vs.
> old versions like [http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.17.0/])
