Hi all.

I wanted to get some feedback regarding some changes to the building of the docs. Juan asked myself and a colleague Vinicius Cerutti  to look after a feature request  (posted on Zulip) for a warning banner when a user is not on the docs for the most recent release. A nice solution for this would be https://goerz.github.io/docs_versions_menu/v0.4.1/. This builds on the efforts of doctr, a tool that, while similar to readthedocs, provides a lot of flexibility in the build of the documentation: https://drdoctr.github.io/. The sphinx theme (alabaster) used by doctr is quite similar to the current theme used for the scikit-image docs so there won't be too much of a change to the aesthetics of the site.
How do people feel about such a change? The alternative would be to add a custom javascript snippet to implement this... that would be an easy enough quick fix if people aren't fans of such a docs-infrastructure migration,

Thanks,

John
