ReadTheDocs: Warning about potential outdated doc version

Open kbevers opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

When I open https://proj.org I get redirected to https://proj.org/en/9.5/ and the in screenshot below is displayed:

It's probably shown because of the redirect but it sends a bit of a weird signal to users. The warning disappears when switching to the stable version at https://proj.org/en/stable/. Is there a way to turn the warning of the 9.5 branch?

I noticed that today as well. There was a discussion to redirect to stable instead of redirecting to 9.5, and also to set the robots.txt to only allow stable there (so search engines are not indexing old versions that may later produce obsolete results). @rouault had some problems after the last release. Here is the mailing list thread https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/proj/2024-September/011528.html

I've just disabled "Show a notification on non-stable and latest versions" in https://app.readthedocs.org/dashboard/osgeo-proj/addons/edit/ as suggested in https://github.com/readthedocs/addons/issues/402#issuecomment-2407890145. I assume it will take effect only at the next build of the 9.5 branch
