System Information
Operating system: Darwin-18.5.0-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: AMD Radeon Pro 560X OpenGL Engine ATI Technologies Inc. 4.1 ATI-2.8.38

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.80 (sub 51), branch: master, commit date: 2019-03-28 00:40, hash: blender/blender@cd92f8ea46
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Blender 2.8 executable and manual reference the 2.79 documentation

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Problem with Blender 2.8 executable:

  • Start Blender
  • In the top menu try Help->Python API Reference

Observe that you are taken to the 2.79 API reference

Problem with Blender 2.8 Manual:

Observe that you have been taken to the 2.79 manual.

I suppose this isn't urgent for a Beta project but it took some hunting to find the 2.8 API docs.

Thanks,
~chuck

I fixed the link inside Blender.

The one in the documentation is harder. We don't have a mechanism in place to distinguish between manuals built for master and official releases, so it always just references the latest official release, which is 2.79.

It could be improved, but would not consider it worth the effort. This will resolve itself once 2.80 is released.
