Zach, et al,

It might be possible to do something like you are suggesting going forward, as the documentation is been migrated into svn and should get tagged with each release we do. Since this was not done in the past it is unlikely that we can go backward in time with this type a scenario.

I think it will be up to the doc and web team to look into doing something like this, but I believe the 1st step of having the docs in svn is the critical pieces to be able to do anything like this.

I think you should write a ticket in the bug tracking system and then post the tick number so interested parties can sign up to be CC on it.

Thanks,
  -Steve

actually we just need to refer to old documentation for upgrading and
porting, thanks though. if possible, we prefer something like

http://www.mapserver.org/4.8/mapfile/map.html
http://www.mapserver.org/5.2/mapfile/map.html
much like
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-select.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/sql-select.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-select.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/sql-select.html

Zach,

Not trying to be a pushy guy... but is there a feature missing in 5.0 prevents 
you from upgrading?

The current (5.2.1) documents should have MapServer version references
inside them for specific functionality (such as a specific mapfile parameter
added in 5.0).
