In theory you can build the postscript versions for yourself, per the
procedure here:
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/docguide-build.html
after you've installed all the tools listed on the preceding page.

Building the HTML version is pretty simple, but it does look like
making a nice printed version is tedious ... which, no doubt, is
why no one does it for beta releases.

If you are happy with reading docs for back releases, Prime Time
Freeware has PDF and hardcopy versions I believe:
