Documentation at https://3.python-requests.org/ says it's for Release 2.21.0 which is confusing for users. (#5265).

It's not clear to new users that "Requests III" means "the pending 3.x release of Requests" (e.g. other libraries like urllib3 are on a 1.x release).

The version stated at the top should be 3.x.y, not an actual version to which the data doesn't correspond. I don't know what branch the 3.x docs are built from, so I don't know how to fix this.

Alternatively, a banner on all the pages mentioning it's for 3.x, a prerelease (how do you get it?)

Also, the download link on this page leads to this Github repo, so it's not clear how you can actually download version 3 or if it's vaporware.

Hi @nicktimo,

We don't have access to that domain or control of the contents on it. You might be able to reach out to @kennethreitz on how it's being updated.

@nateprewitt what is the canonical domain/URL to be used? I'm slightly confused about it, and I often find links on StackOverflow that are broken.

Both http://python-requests.org and https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/ should point to current documentation.
