As we may fix that at some point I would advise to have:

if(TRUE && dt_is_dev_version())

And add a comment:

TODO: revert when documentation redirection is back....

Not sure to understand why you say that we are not planning per version documentation. This was the case and we are trying again to recover this. It will take time but hopefully this will be back at some point in the future. But maybe I miss some information about this?

Oh, I came to this conclusion from

As of darktable 5.2 we no longer maintain separate versions of the user manual for each release of darktable, since we don’t have the resources to support this.

If there is a goal to return to versioned dtdocs, that's awesome. And in this case this fix does not make sense, and all we need now is to fix redirects on the site.

I see, I was not aware of this end of versioning support :( So you may be right and so the code should be adjusted accordingly. Let me first discuss with the documentation team to take a final decision.

@andriiryzhkov : I have just discussed this with the documentation team and we will stop the versioned release after all. So let's go back to your first proposal and move forward.

I'm sorry for the confusion.

//TODO: drop the "TRUE ||" if dtdocs resumes per-release snapshots
if(TRUE || dt_is_dev_version())
{
dt_util_str_cat(&base_url, "development/");
}
