Description

Describe the bug The web page https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/ documents many Julia versions, including version v1.9.2 and v1.11-dev. However, there is no documentation for v1.10-beta available.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/'
  2. Click on the "version" drop-down menu
  3. Scroll to the bottom

Expected behavior Since documentation for the development version is available I expect documentation for the current beta version – which is easily available for download – do be available as well.

Research direction
The issue requests documentation for Julia beta/RC versions on docs.julialang.org. Investigate the documentation build setup in the repository (likely under 'docs/' directory). Look for how development version (v1.11 dev) is configured, possibly in a 'make.jl' or versions configuration file. Determine the pattern for adding beta versions (e.g., v1.10 beta) and ensure the version dropdown displays them. Check comments for any prior attempts or maintainer guidance on version string formatting.
