So...

The top google result for "free pascal TComponent" is:

   http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/classes/tcomponent.html

This is 8 months old. The updated page doesn't show up in the results at all:

    http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/classes/tcomponent.html

I find this unfortunate.

Maybe, but the first page is the correct one and pertains to the officially 
released version.


Is the issue that the freepascal.org docs are tied to the official release?

Perhaps we could do something like the dropdown atop:

The docs are only meant for the official release.

That the lazarus project generates their docs from the current trunk version is unfortunate, especially since they actually use a released version of the FPC compiler.

FPC does not have the manpower to support multiple release versions. Not for the compiler, not for the documentation.
