readthedocs points to an unreleased version
See original GitHub issueI spent the better part of this day trying to figure out why my installation of marshmallow didn’t have the constants INCLUDE, RAISE, etc. After some digging, I figured out what the problem was: the default readthedocs link points to documentation for the yet unreleased dev version of the package.
I think this should definitely be fixed or the docs should state the discrepancy in a more visible manner. At the very least, it should be made clear that the $ pip install -U marshmallow --pre under the Get It Now section` does not point to the same version which the documents describe.

Having the default (latest) point to a pre-release version can also cause confusion. It would be nice if this was communicated more clearly. Jasmine uses a version index as their docs landing page.

Ideally, there would also be a way to display the docs for untagged
dev, for a final verification before releasing, but it is not that important for pre-release versions.
