Already before this thread, but definitely now, I started to wonder whether we shouldn't fundamentally change our approach on online documentation for release branches. My proposal is to have only one version per release branch online, that is, not https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-14.1.0 and https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-14.2.0 and so forth, rather just https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-14 There should be *very* few user visible changes such as new options or substantially different behaviors on release branches - pretty much by definition. So why not have one version of the documentation per release branch where users of 14.1 get documentation fixes/improvements made for later in the branch? And it would vastly simplify things in terms of creating docs - simply build them once a day, no changes for point releases... (and much, much less duplication). What do you think? Gerald
