Summary0015692: There should be a generic URL to the docs
DescriptionIt is useful to be able to link to the latest version of the docs and not to have to keep updating the link.

In addition to URLs like this
  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/manual/cmake-properties.7.html [^]
there should always be a URL like this that points to the current release
  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-properties.7.html [^]

Thanks. I've added the "latest" link and updated our web site release procedure documents to maintain it. I also added "latest" links to the main documentation page (http://www.cmake.org/documentation/ [^]).

Note that any links posted to issues, mailing lists, or anywhere else that is publicly archived should still use the version-specific links for stability of the linked content.

There is a similar problem with creating a bookmark to the installed documentation. This bookmark
  file:///Applications/CMake.app/Contents/doc/cmake-3.3/html/index.html [^]
will go bad on the next release.

Re 0015692:0039340: Good idea. This should fix the binary tarball layout:

 Utilities/Release: Install docs in unversioned directory
