[FEATURE] A smart version selector

[frank-lenormand]

Hi,

From what I could see, all versions of the documentation ever published are included in the selector.

I would like the selector to be able to show versions that should be most relevant.

For example, assuming the versioning scheme is major.minor, it could show:

• the current version
• if the current version has a non-zero minor, show the previous two versions, up to the previous major
• a separator to show the version chain is cut-off
• the previous major with a zero minor

This feature could be opt-in, via a configuration option, or it could be implemented as part of the selector wheel (a tab? a checkbox? …).

Examples:

5.0
--
4.0

5.1
5.0
--
4.0

5.9
5.8
5.7
--
4.0

0.3
0.2
0.1

0.1

Thanks!

I think this is really a matter best left to themes, or individual project authors. You can always adjust the exact behavior of the version selector by copying the existing JS/CSS for it and modifying the code to your liking.

It'll probably get easier to do something like that though when #138 is implemented. That would require adding extra properties to each version, but then your version selector code could consult that and do something about it.
