Very old scaladoc on typelevel.org

[Jasper-M]

The cats website now points you to javadoc.io for accessing the scaladoc. However you can also still access https://typelevel.org/cats/api/cats/index.html which gives you all the docs for some very old version. That page is also the second search result that google gives me for cats scaladoc.

In theory we can delete those old scaladocs (bdac30a), but it may break some inbound links ...

Perhaps you could adapt the redirect rule from

cats/api -> https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.typelevel/cats-docs_2.13/latest

to

cats/api/$path -> https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.typelevel/cats-docs_2.13/latest/$path

Or at least add some warning header over every page that points out that you're looking at outdated documentation.

But I don't know if there's an easy way to do either of these things with gh-pages other than editing every html page under cats/api/.

I can't be the only person who keeps falling into this trap... Is there at least some way to stop search engines from indexing the old scaladoc?
