Create docs_config.js for Elixir, ExDoc, Hex etc about bob HOT 7 CLOSED

Is this issue about adding the master version link to the dropdown?

Is it also about fixing the links to Elixir v1.0.0 - v1.0.3 or is it a separate issue?

from bob.

I think we should add master to the dropdown based on other discussions. Do you agree @josevalim?

We don't have docs builds for Elixir v1.0.0 - v1.0.3 so we should remove those links from the dropdown.

I actually initially had master in the dropdown (5d2fc6b) but then on https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/master/Kernel.html page the dropdown had both 1.9.0-dev and master which was confusing. When building config I could see that the latest tag is v1.8.1 so the next dev version should be v1.9.0-dev and put that into the list with the link to master, but I'm afraid this could be too clever and error prone.

I've removed links for 1.0.0..1.0.3, good catch!

This will be fine for a long long long time, at least until we start work on v2.0, so I am ok with it.

@josevalim just so we're clear, you're saying to add 1.9.0-dev (or whatever the latest dev version is) to the config.js or leave things as is?

@wojtekmach I see. You can take a look at my code here - for people hosting their docs and maintaining their own versions, for convenience and so that things don't break, we're prepending the list with an entry for the current version if it's seemingly missing. The current version name is being read from what was displayed instead of the version dropdown, so indeed for the current master it's v1.9.0-dev.

Looks like having an option v1.9.0-dev is the easy way to go for now, I actually don't mind if it would be called that. We could change my code in ExDoc if we want to display master there

leave things as is?

This. :)
