[ensembl-dev] Url redirections for latest releases

[Wolf Beat]

Hello,


to better handle new Ensembl versions i like to hard code the current version in the configuration of my application. That way i can move to new releases when i have checked that there are no regressions/changes.


Now for example, when querying the latest ensembl release through biomart, i can use the URL:

http://jul2018.archive.ensembl.org/index.html


Which is great. But this is not yet available for the latest REST API. While http://apr2018.rest.ensembl.org/ exists, neither:

http://jul2018.rest.ensembl.org

nor

http://e93.rest.ensembl.org


Are yet available. Would it be possible to have those subdomains avalaible? Would it also be possible to have them (both for the main site and the REST API) available close to the release of a new Ensembl release?


Kind regards
