I think a solution might be to make links to the latest version redirect to a v/latest/ which redirects to the new latest version across upgrades. For each url v/1.2/docs if 1.2 is the new version, then it redirects to v/latest/docs and when copy-pasted to e.g. stack overflow, when someone comes along later when it's in version 1.5, it serves the v1.5 docs. So the latest Google crawl will see mostly v/latest/docs links, it will always serve those at the top of search results for docs, and then no matter what those search results at the latest version of docs.

This would help! There are no direct links between the urls below which both have the same content. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/index.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/index.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/index.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/index.html You have to click to another page and back again to change to the "current" link if you're on the "10" link.
