Or perhaps:
"This document for version: 9.1 / 9.0 / 8.4 / 8.3 | devel / 9.2 (beta) |
Old versions: 8.2 / 8.1 / ..."
I didn't read the original rationale, but it's not clear to me why we
have quick links to the documents for unsupported versions. Maybe just
have one link "unsupported versions" that goes to
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/archive/ ?
