System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1070/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 432.00

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.81 (sub 16), branch: master, commit date: 2019-12-04 11:32, hash: blender/blender@f1aa4d18d4
Worked: version 2.81

Short description of error
API leads to error when trying to reference online because the URL pick up the "a" or "b" bug updates.

For example, when selecting render > righ click render image > online python reference, the following URL gets called:

https://docs.blender.org/api/2.81a/bpy.ops.render.html#bpy.ops.render.render

Which leads to error not found.

It should instead be

https://docs.blender.org/api/2.81/bpy.ops.render.html#bpy.ops.render.render

Or there should be updated docs for 2.81a, etc?

Good find. This appears to affect the main "Help" > "Python API Reference" link as well.

@Blendify , @fsiddi , perhaps the 28.1a directory should redirect to 2.81?

Normally we have separate API documentation for each release of Blender (including a,b,c,etc. releases) this was forgotten about in the latest release.

I believe @mont29 is the one usually responsible for this, I would be happy to take up this responsibility in the future if desired.

Yep, forgot about that the other week… Done today, so everything should be OK now, thanks for the report.
