Well, it's not exactly difficult to find the previous versions of the docs from http://www.python.org/doc/ (hint: search for "Previous versions" :-). Isn't that enough?

For the moment, it works. It's more a matter of indexing and navigation than having "a way" to find it--I guess I'm officially from the "one-click" generation. As Python releases more versions, it will naturally become less manageable. "What's New" is basically 'indexed' by version number currently. It'd be nice to have a feature index, for reverse lookups. Hope that makes sense. My thought about having a pointer to the previous "What's New" would speed navigation through several versions, if an index were not appropriate.

Me, I just use Google. :)
