.. I find it a bit annoying that if I want the current docs, I have to
avoid looking at the table, or I'll get confused until I see the button
sitting above.  IMO it would be better to include "13" in the table as
well as the button to avoid this effect (I realize this is redundant).

Maybe if the button had red text that said "13" it would not be
necessary.

Alternatively: remove the button, include "13" in the table, and have it
contain a blue tag-looking label that says "current" or something like
that.  (While at it, and to make the current dev cycle less of an
exception: change the "Development version" row to have text "14dev" in
red plus a blue label that says "In development".)


FWIW I noticed this to, the re-read the email and noticed:

"(Nevermind the actual versions listed, as this is off a dev version of the
database and not up to date)"
 
And figured the two were related.

An idea while I'm here - It is still a couple of clicks and screen searching to get to the current docs.  How about an icon on the main page, next to the search icon (more useful for frequent users), that takes you immediately to the current documentation webpage?  And/Or a third button in the banner (download, new?) for "Current Manual" (more useful for newer readers)?
