Description

We use mongoengine 0.7.10, and I'm constantly reading the docs from github directly instead of reading the on Read the Docs. The Read the Docs site only shows 'latest'. I think that previous releases or release streams should be versioned in Read the Docs. Just enable builders in RTD config for the release branch or each tagged release. I think doing the release branches is probably the best thing to do.

Research direction

Start by locating the Read the Docs configuration and reviewing how the release branches or tagged releases are represented. Enable documentation builders for the appropriate older release streams, then verify that the Read the Docs site makes those versions selectable alongside latest.
