docs: add @since TypeDoc tags, drop versioned documentation#936
Conversation
Annotate every top-level symbol, but annotate a member only when it was added in a later release than its parent. A member introduced alongside its parent is already covered by the parent's `@since`, so repeating it on every field was noise. Removes 417 redundant tags (1056 -> 639).

we should add the claude.md here and mention this there, otherwise i wouldnt trust the agents to do this consistently. also its a bit unfortunate that now you need to write a version before it gets released (usually it will be a feature bump, given new options/methods are added, but not always).

i thought we agreed to keep majors versioned as before, so we still want the version switcher

Now, this is a fair discussion point.
The current client docs only have the latest and next versions. Since the last v1 version is 5 years old (and has ~100 downloads, compared to 200k downloads on the v2 latest), I don't think it makes much sense to revive the v0 and v1 docs for this project. Perhaps for other projects, it would make more sense.

I have made a script that adds the @since tags from TypeDoc and git tags, so it's fairly deterministic.

See the original PR description - perhaps we could run the aforementioned script in CI and have it create a PR with the @since tags on release?
Regarding versioning, should we keep the next version to keep the new symbols away from the main live docs? Or should we disable versioning altogether, write @since Added in next manually to each new symbol, and have it replaced on release by the script from above?
Also (apify-client-js specific) - could the autogenerated clients solve any of this for us in the future?

Yes, here's the issue. |

Drops the Docusaurus-based versioned documentation and adds the
@sincetags to the JSDoc blocks. These are rendered as shown below ⬇️The main issue remains the need for manual updates of the
@sincetags on new symbols. The initial seeding was done by a script - perhaps we could add this to the CI?This is an experimental PR as a follow-up to an internal Tooling team discussion.
