Title: SFML on Google
Post by: Tukimitzu on April 24, 2016, 05:06:08 am

Whenever I google some SFML feature it returns me the SFML 2.0 documentation rather than the most recent one. Why is that?

Older stuff is more referenced across the internet, and is thus better ranked by Google I guess.

The best way to solve this problem would be to use an alias (always the same) for the most recent version, something like www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2/ or www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/latest/.

And, in addition, a banner that appears at the top of outdated versions' pages, like Boost does it (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/index.html).

Good point.... I was hoping Google would leave the result out because I was disparaging their search engine :)
