preferable to multiple slots.

doc: use "/current/" in URL path
...
From the next major release, the current documentation will be located in the
"/docs/current/" subdirectory. This makes it easier to provide canonical
links to the latest version of the documentation (similar to how the
main PostgreSQL documentation is organised).
Once the following major release is available, the documentation will be moved
to a subdirectory with the version number, e.g. "/docs/4.3/".

Teach witness repmgrd to deal with the absence of a primary
...
Previously it would refuse to start if the primary was not reachable,
the thinking being that it's pointless trying to monitor an incomplete
cluster.
However following an aborted failover situation, repmgrd will restart
monitoring and on the witness server, this will lead to it aborting
itself due to to continuing absence of primary.
To resolve this, witness repmgrd will now start monitoring in degraded
mode if no primary is found in the hope a primary will reappear at
some point.

"standby switchover": close all connections used to check repmgrd status
...
The connections used to check repmgrd status on all nodes were not being
closed if repmgrd was not running. Normally this wouldn't be a huge
problem as they will go away when repmgr terminates or the PostgreSQL
server restarted. However, if shutdown mode is "smart", the open
connection on the demotion candidate will cause the shutdown operation
to fail until repmgr times out.
