Discussion: Should "Revision" be removed from docs?

[XeduR]

Currently most, if not all documentation pages, have a reference to Revision, which should refer to the last version of Solar2D where a particular API was updated/revised.

The reality, however, is that Revision doesn't mean anything. For instance,

• timer framework was last updated in 2021.3642
• system.getInfo() was apparently updated in 2021.3639
• scrollView widget was updated in 2021.3636
• There have also been several ad plugin updates across the recent version

But all pages state that the last revision was in Release 2020.3619.

Shouldn't we remove reference to Revision in the docs since it does actually do what it is supposed to, but instead it points to a very old build, which will result in numerous issues if someone were to actually download it. It provides no information or value, just a risk for new users.

Absolutely

Removing those references one-by-one would not be a good idea but maybe we could do something with REVISION_LABEL. Still, not sure if there are any references to that variable elsewhere.

I'll be doing this removal via automation by next week. 👍
