Projects like Python[1] and Atom[2] have multiple versions of online documentation, and I often refer to docs for older versions of these projects. For Emacs, I think having multiple versions of online documentation is more convenient than the alternative methods[3], for both Emacs users and package developers. Footnotes: [1] https://www.python.org/doc/versions/ [2] https://atom.io/docs [3] Such as skimming/searching the etc/NEWS.x files, using the Wayback Machine, or install older versions of Emacs and see their info files.
