Description

New feature

It is often useful to be able to browse old docs for versions that are not latest. I couldn't figure out how to browse previous docs for nextflow unfortunately.

This shouldn't be too hard to enable, it's a feature that I very often see on readthedocs.

In the URL it even says latest but I can't figure out how to get a stable doc link that's not latest: e.g. https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/index.html contains /latest/ - what do I need to put in to get say 22.10.1?

Research direction

Start with the Read the Docs configuration and the current URL, https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/index.html, to determine how versioned builds are configured. Done means a stable URL such as /docs/22.10.1/ serves the corresponding historical documentation.
