Docs: First step: I fixed our Read The Docs (readthedocs.org) setup, so that the documentation for 1.6.1 would not confusingly mention 2.0.0 as the first possible thing. I’ve also disabled showing docs for any versions < 1.6.1 There are currently only two versions being built: - 1.6.1 - master http://docs.couchdb.org/ auto-redirects to http://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/ which is an alias for the highest (in semver terms) tag, currently 1.6.1. Once we tag 2.0.0 in the docs repo, `stable` will show the 2.0.0 tag, so http://docs.couchdb.org/ will show 2.0.0 docs with the option to switch to 1.6.1 in the bottom of the page.
