[fpc-devel] Website documentation links are wrong

Hi,

The following documentation download page has many links for the
various documentation formats. They are all still pointing to the old
2.4.4 release, and not the latest 2.6.0 release.

http://www.freepascal.org/down/docs/docs-ftp.freepascal.org.var


I remember mentioning this before some years back. If the ftp server
is a unix/linux box, may I suggest using symlinks.

eg:

  /dist/latest         ->  symlink to eg /dist/2.6.0/
  /dist/2.4.2/docs/
  /dist/2.4.4/docs/
  /dist/2.6.0/docs/

Then simply update the download links on the above mentioned page to
use /dist/latest/ instead of a specific version. Then once a new
release happens, only the symlink needs to be updated on the ftp
server.   Most Linux distros do the same thing on their ftp servers
when downloading distro ISO images.
