Versioning of groups of articles

We are starting to use MediaWiki for our user guide of our software. Our software is release twice a year but our documentation which was based on MS Word was most times out of sync.

By using MediaWiki we hope to get our documentation in sync by release our new version.

In this case our MediaWiki always shows the latest version. But most of our customers are using older software. The information is still available in the Wiki. Using the historian and clicking on a older article give the needed information.

Is it possible to do this automatically (by implementing a extension). What I have in mind is that I (as admin) can define that for example version 1.2.3 is released on 12-11-2010. And that a customer can parameterise that he wants the information belonging to that version. The media wiki only shows the newest article before the release date.

Any other solution to connect article versions to a software release will help.

Is there something which can help me?
