Обсуждение: "0.0" version string in URLs
I happened to be googling for "postgresql 9.4 release notes", and the first result for me was this link: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/0.0/static/index.html which apparently works and appears to have the same content as this URL with a more reasonable version identifier: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/index.html IMO it's not great that we're propagating "0.0" version-string-URLs, apparently in some way that Google happily picks up on. Is there a prominent link to a /0.0/ URL somewhere in the postgresql.org space, or are we redirecting some pages to a version 0.0? Josh

Wow, I wonder how they got to that one. We certainly *shouldn't* be linking to that anywhere, but 0.0 is the internal one that's used for "devel" docs. But they should always be accessed as /devel/.
I've pushed a fix that gives a 404 on /0.0/. If there is actually a link pointing there, someone will tell us soon :)
