Comment (by ubitux):
Replying to [comment:4 cehoyos]:
> I honestly wonder if this is really an enhancement that we should put
effort into: We ship every release with documentation that contains the
features of the release and we explicitly ask users on the website to use
current git head (both on the download and the bug reporting page) so I
wonder why a user expects to find documentation for outdated versions on
the website.
People tend to like communication (the fools...) and point out links to
the documentation (on forums, irc, or whatever online medium). To help a
random user with a given version (assuming it's a recent enough
"snapshot"), it's nice to be able to point out to a documentation matching
their version (and it's simpler for everyone to just click a link than
looking for a particular section in the manpage. FFmpeg is not packaged
with the HTML doc.
