Update the stable version docs with Documenter.jl

I want to change the documentation for the current version of my package and I have no code changes to release. Should I create a point release just for this? Or is there some way to edit the stable version of the Documenter.jl docs without making a new release? And if I did that would it be considered bad practice?

You can tag e.g. v1.2.3+docs (https://github.com/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl/pull/1298).

Ah this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Can you use the same approach if you modify README.md?

The READMEs, in general, are not built with Documenter at all. Unless you mean the docs generated on JuliaHub when you do not have a docs/make.jl script – in this case, unfortunately, this trick doesn’t work, since JuliaHub will never see these extra +docs tags. You’d have to tag a new patch release.
