Ever since LSST the Docs was [rolled out](https://community.lsst.org/t/introducing-lsst-the-docs-for-continuous-documentation-delivery/781), it’s been necessary to append a `/` to any directory in a URL, such as `https://sqr-006.lsst.io/v/DM-5894/`.

I’m pleased to announce that you no longer need to worry about this. URLs like [https://sqr-006.lsst.io/v/DM-5894](https://sqr-006.lsst.io/v/DM-5894) now work.

The implementation of this feature is described in an update to [SQR-006](https://sqr-006.lsst.io/v/DM-5894/index.html#replicating-web-server-behavior-from-s3-s-rest-api).

Travis-hosted builds of technotes and other LTD-hosted documentation projects will automatically start using ltd-mason version 0.2.2, which implements this feature. No work is needed from authors.

Thanks for your patience with this issue. Soon I hope to ship other usability improvements for the LTD platform, such as [version dashboards and switchers](http://www.rubin.community/t/dm-doc-infrastructure-roadmap-thoughts/966?u=jsick).
