Salt: Doc stable release is not updated in a timely fashion after release is cut

[gravyboat]

Description of Issue/Question

Currently the stable release here: https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ and the release here: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/releases/latest are mismatched. It seems like the docs just aren't getting updated, unless there is a specific reason for this? If you have any code that relies on getting the 'latest' release you cannot reliably do so via the GitHub API because old updates will be considered the latest for a time, but if you try to fall back to the docs it's sometimes mismatched there as well (just as an example of a use case). Is there any reason the doc updates aren't getting pushed automatically/whenever a new release is cut?

@gravyboat unfortunately https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ is currently being updated manually. We're working on an automated process to remediate this so the updates are immediate.

Gotcha. I remember a while back when the way the docs design was changed this was a concern that was brought up but I wasn't sure of the status, thanks! Could we get this added to the checklist that is used when a new release is cut? It's been about 2 weeks since the last release was out so they should probably be updated.

Thanks for the reminder @gravyboat. I've got a fix in for this and we'll be sure to get this added to our list of release tasks so it doesn't get forgotten again. :)

Awesome! Thanks @rallytime!

Alright, the page is updated now with the latest release number, and I've double checked that our release tasks contain a step for this. Thanks again @gravyboat!

Thanks for taking care of this so quickly!
