Documentation for "PostgreSQL 9"?

From

Date:
Why is there documentation for "PostgreSQL 9", here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9/static/index.html

9.0 also exists, but this came up first in Google.  Isn't this prone to
create confusion about the version numbering?

Yes I would think so.

Indeed.

Where did you find a link to "9"? It should really only show up as
such if there's a link on our site to it somewhere, and I can't find
it - and thus cna't remove it...b

I just tried this using google.com

http://www.google.com/search?q=link%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.postgresql.org%2Fdocs%2F9%2Fstatic%2Findex.html&hl=en

sites that link to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9/static/index.html

gives the following:

1. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/runtime-config-wal.html
2. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-pgresetxlog.html
3. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-8-2-6.html
4. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-sequence.html

The bread crumb links (Home → Documentation → Manuals → PostgreSQL 9)
seem to be the issue.

Ah, cute. PHP automatically converts "9.0" to "9" when it's entered as
a decimal. I guess that shouldn't be entirely surprising :-) I've
changed it to a string now, and am rebuilding the website mirrors to
get this right. Should be working in a couple of hours (yes, docs
builds are slow)

seems to be ok now.

maybe Peter Eisentraut can cross check again?
