The latest GNU Octave documentation has always been available from https://octave.org/doc/interpreter Now I am overhauling the website a little and added a more intuitive link https://octave.org/doc/latest Thus "latest" and "interpreter" point to the latest version of the documentation now. A further step was to implant some version chooser into the manual pages itself, but this requires some more work... Kai
