I don't think users would typically go to the vtk website, click
documentation, and then find the class they are interested in. Maybe I'm
wrong here, but I'd assume they'd just google vtkClass.

What about a script that adds a link to the newest version at the top of all
of the old pages?

Something like:

vtkMath Class Reference
(NOTE: this is the documentation from release X. The current version is Y
and can be found here : http://newversion/vtkMath)

This should at least attempt to provide a warning - no one is going to look
at the url but they might read subtext under the title.

Thanks,

David
