the redirects and ignore the original URLs [2]. Using a "302 Found" redirect instead might produce better results, at least for Google

But the page you point to suggests 302 is discouraged, and says they don't help for the other search engines. Perhaps 'latest' could just be a symlink to the latest version instead of a redirect?

In addition, all versions could have a blurb saying this is for version x.y.z, the latest version can be found (-> url with /latest). I believe this should boost the page rank of the 'latest' URL.

If you both implement 'latest' as a symlink and have this blurb, then the "latest" page will always have a rather silly looking link to itself. If the latest numbered version and latest could be generated separately, then I think this would work very well. The quick-n-dirty thing to do would be to switch to the 302 redirects, which given the dominance of google, may well be good enough.
