Description
Problem:
Search Google for Ethers.js documentation.
Expected: clicking any result on the first page is helpful.
Actual: clicking any result on the first page goes to old documentation (v5) AND there is no indication that there is a newer version!
Recommendations
-
Update the /v5/ documentation to link to /v6/.
I wasted a lot of time implementing v5 and not knowing that v6 existed because the current Ethers README points to v5 documentation and the v5 says nothing of v6.
-
Publish the latest documentation to the URL https://docs.ethers.org without a /v6/ qualifier.
For example, Ethereum.org/..., Ethers' own documentation, countless tutorials across the web all link to old versions
This fixes the problem going forward.
-
Unpublish v4 and all earlier documentation. Only publish supported versions. If people need the old versions (they shouldn't), they can compile from repo history.
- Remove links to those deleted web pages
-
Remove link to old documentation in https://ethers.org/ it's in the playground (probably better to delete that whole website)
