#### Post date: [January 27, 2014, 9:27am UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/any-possibility-of-permalinks-to-documentation-for-each-version/15429/1 "2014-01-27T09:27:41Z")
I notice the docs for version 1.0.0 are in a "1.x" branch. When 1.1 is
released, I'm assuming the 1.x branch docs will be updated to 1.1?
Is there any possibility of creating permanent links to each version? (like
lucene do, e.g [http://lucene.apache.org/core/3\_6\_1/](http://lucene.apache.org/core/3_6_1/)). The reason is simply
that if I build a solution for a customer that requires a specific version
of elasticsearch, then my documentation will probably end up referencing
various bits of the elasticsearch documentation. Which is tricky if the
documentation I'm referencing is changing.
So, I was wondering if it would be possible to create links for each
release version, so instead of referencing
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.x/search.htmlI](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.x/search.htmlI) can reference
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.0.0.Release/search.htmlor](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.0.0.Release/search.htmlor) similar, and then I can be happy that the documentation I'm linking to
is the exact documentation for the version that my customer uses.
Thanks,
Tim.

The documentation is now versioned. For example (random page)

I am guessing a 1.0 version will be built once it is released. It doesn't
seem like they support minor versions. Not sure what "current" signifies,
but you can probably figure it out by reading the documentation building

"It doesn't seem like they support minor versions." - this is exactly what
I'm asking "them" to do...
It doesn't have to be linked to from the main page, but a stable link that
I know will still be there a year or two in the future will be very useful.

The documentation will follow the Elasticsearch branching structure, which
will include minor branches too (1.x, etc). Minor versions aren't
available right now since the versioned doc support was just recently added
to 0.90.x.
"Current" refers to the currently recommended, stable version. For
example, the most recent version is 1.0.RC1, but the "current" version is
still 0.90.10 since the RC isn't a GA release yet.
Hope that helps!
