LSST the Docs (lsst.io) now provides courtesy directory redirects

Ever since LSST the Docs was rolled out, 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 now work.

The implementation of this feature is described in an update to SQR-006.

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.
