Wouldn't it be feasible to add a "see current version" link
which would link from all the old versions to the most current
one? Say, a page
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/ecpg-errors.html
...would have a line in a header:
Home → Documentation → Manuals → PostgreSQL 7.4 (See current version)
...where (See current version) would link to:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ecpg-errors.html
As far as I understand how Google works, this would push
the link density towards the current version of PostgreSQL,
therefore 8.1 should pop out as top results.
Just a thought. :)
