[New-bugs-announce] [issue16400] update default PyPI behavior in docs re: listing versions

[Chris Jerdonek]

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

There is a mismatch between what PyPI and the docs say regarding listing versions of packages on PyPI.

The current docs say, "By default PyPI will list all versions of a given package."

(from http://docs.python.org/3.4/distutils/packageindex.html )

However, PyPI says (and behaves) the opposite way, "By default, each new release will hide all other release from the regular display."

(from the "releases" management page of a project)
