Documentation versions
MarkMLl:
The FPC documentation master page is at https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/rtl/index.html
Are other versions available apart from "current"? The https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ directory isn't searchable remotely, so it's impossible to see.
Similar question applies to Lazarus, where the master appears to be at https://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.io/docs/

Yes. Replace current with a version number string, e. g. https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/3.0.0/rtl/index.html

Thanks, I suspected that was the case but does anybody have a list of what's actually in there? For example, I get a 404 on https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/2.6.4/rtl/index.html
This is in the context of trying to have a coherent response for users who say "I've got version such-and-such and the documentation doesn't match".
Same question applies to Lazarus, and to manuals in PDF form.

In the past in such cases we would refer to the zipped files on the FTP. Files on FTP go back to 2.2.2. But FTP doesn't work anymore in webbrowsers

I know, and I've been saying that the developers need to get their arses in gear to fix the PDF links for at least a year.
I find a complete list of FPC versions with embedded docs at ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/ and I notice that Konqueror (i.e. on Linux with KDE) can still access the content.
I also note a comprehensive set of documentation at ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/releases/Lazarus Documentation/ although only in .chm format.
