Yes, previous policy was to publish only the doc of latest release.
But starting with 1.8 (first release including guides), we'll keep every versions.
Example:
	http://dpdk.org/doc/api
	http://dpdk.org/doc/api-1.8
The web page will be modified to list different versions.

Yes you can: make doc
For doxygen API only: make doc-api-html
For sphinx only: doc-guides-html.

Thanks
