Description

Documentation

There is a bad redirection in the documentation in the whatsnew switch between version 3.11. and 3.12.

How to reproduce :

Link to the whatsnew 3.11 -> https://docs.python.org/3.11/whatsnew/3.11.html

image

When we switch to 3.12 we arrive in -> https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.11.html

And we see that this is the wrong redirection.

The link should be -> https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html

I remain at your disposal if you need more details

Research direction

Start by reproducing the version switch from the documented 3.11 What's New URL to the 3.12 documentation and inspect the docsbuild-scripts entry point that generates or redirects What's New pages. Done means switching versions from 3.11/3.11.html reaches 3.12/3.12.html rather than retaining the 3.11 page path.
