Feature Improvement Request: Simplifying Documentation URL Format and Adding Latest Version Link about kellnr HOT 4 CLOSED

API available under /api/v1/docs/<package>/latest.

regarding the "crate name duplication":

this is actually not a duplication. This second name is actually the target- or package-name and can differ from the crate name.

Example: https://docs.rs/futures-util/latest/futures_util/

The target name is also the name of the top level folder in the rustdoc output.
So I don't think it's a good idea to work around that separation.

/latest/ is one though, but some work.

Good point, then we still need to allow https://docs.rs/futures-util/latest to https://docs.rs/futures-util/latest/futures_util/

I'm not sure if non-canonical names are still a thing. There was this blog post some time ago: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/10/27/crates-io-non-canonical-downloads.html

But even, if the package name differs from the crate name, we could choose one as the identifier and skip the other in the URL or do I miss something?
