First, let me say that api.rubyonrails.org is awesome. Whoever is hosting it - thank you. It blows all the other api tools out of the water in terms of usability. Yay! That said, how come http://api.rubyonrails.org/v3.0.15 doesn''t show me the 3.0.15 docs? 3.0.x is still actively maintained and supported. What about any other old version. I''m sure some folks would find this very useful. It is exceedingly difficult to get decent-to-use docs for old versions of rails. Think we can make that happen somehow? Love, Josh P.S. Same could be said for the guides.rubyonrails.org. I''m aware http://guides.rubyonrails.org/v2.3.8/ is available, but that''s just because it''s ingrained. As far as I can tell it''s not readily linked to anymore.

That has a picker for what version you are using, and shows when a particular function was deprecated. Very handy for this sort of thing. Walter> > Love, > Josh > > P.S.

Unfortunately at the moment that will use a different template to api.rubyonrails.org (if you''re using an older version of rails it might not matter) You can hack things by: - adding sdoc to your bundle - edit documentation.rake (in the railties gem) and add require ''sdoc'' #at the top of the file Change the options passed to rdoc in the rails task rdoc.options << ''--line-numbers'' rdoc.options << ''-f'' << ''sdoc'' rdoc.options << ''-T'' << ''rails'' rdoc.options << ''-e'' << ''UTF-8'' Remove doc/api, rerun rake doc:api and you should have api docs that look like the ones on api.rubyonrails.org (you need to serve them through an actual web server (e.g. thin -A file start), the links don''t work when accessed via file:/// urls) You can generate the guides too. First check that you have the RedCloth gem in your bundle. then run rake doc:guides and all the guides will be generated in doc/guides> P.S. Same could be said for the guides.rubyonrails.org.

Yea, I know how to generate my own docs, and apidock is... okay. Both of the proposed solutions so far are missing the point. api.rubyonrails.org should host, at a minimum, all currently supported versions. Once that''s done it should be trivial to support as far back as the docs remain in the same format.
