Description

What is the URL of the page with the issue?

https://pkg.go.dev/iter@go1.23rc2#hdr-Standard_Library_Usage

What is your user agent?

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0

Screenshot

Working link to the same package, includes version: image

Broken link to a different package, does not include version: image

What did you do?

  1. Open https://pkg.go.dev/iter@go1.23rc2#hdr-Standard_Library_Usage
  2. Click on the link in For example, [maps.Keys](https://pkg.go.dev/maps#Keys) returns an iterator over the keys of a map

What did you see happen?

Observe that the link points to the latest(go1.22.6), which does not contain maps.Keys function. The anchor link is broken. Note: 1.23rc2 does contain that function.

What did you expect to see?

I expected that if I explicitly chose to browse version 1.23rc2, all links would be pointing to that version.
