Feature #20887

Updated by p8 (Petrik de Heus) 11 days ago

Searching for Ruby documentation regularly returns outdated documentation. 
 For example searching for "ruby comparable" : https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ruby%20comparable" returns: 
 - Module: Comparable (Ruby 2.5.8) 
 - Module: Comparable (Ruby 3.0.3) 

 It would be nice if we had a `https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/latest` that points the latest released version. 

 Older versions could add the "canonical" link to the document head. 
 This lets let search engines know what the preferred version is: 
 ```html 
 <link rel="canonical" href="https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/latest/Comparable.html" /> 
 ``` 
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel#canonical 

 This would also allow others to link to this latest versions, instead of hardcoding the version or using "master".
