Description

Hello

When searching RSpec documentation online. I often end up on a page documentation of RSpec gems bellow 2.99.

I was thinking about the best way to mark our doc as deprecated. Few ideas:

  • Add a block to tell the reader that he/she is not on the last version with an easy link to jump to current. We can see this on PostgreSQL

  • Maybe too powerful... Disable search engine indexing on old version? The best should be to change the SEO but I do not have those magic capabilities.

  • Set a new documentation for RSpec 4? VCR had a discussion.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the versioned documentation and its search or indexing configuration in rspec.github.io. Compare the proposed PostgreSQL-style notice with the linked VCR discussion, then define and implement one accepted approach for old RSpec versions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
