@eshellman, Please note that these are two different books, and the content varies depending on the Symfony version.
The official website provides links to both editions: https://symfony.com/book
Regarding using a link to the current version, I read the contribution guidelines before submitting a PR. However, in this case, this could lead to unexpected situations, since, for example, after the book is released for the next Symfony version, the link would point to the new edition instead of the expected one. Unfortunately, there is no permanent (current) link to a specific edition.
We could have left only the most current revision, but major versions do not guarantee compatibility, and the content may not be up-to-date. That's why two editions are provided instead of one.
The archive links have been updated according to these notes, and this does not affect the currentness of the book's content, even if the snapshot is older than the previous one.
The big advantage of "current" links for us is that they should work even if you don't come back to update them. It should not be our job to track versions. please follow the recommendations given.
@eshellman, I understand why you prefer "current" links, but in this case, it won't work as you expect for the reason I described above. Using "current" links will eventually result in the user seeing content that isn't expected. Furthermore, versions 5.4 and 6.4 are final releases and won't be changed in the future.
