Broken links in the documentation

https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/0.2.11/tracing_subscriber/fmt/trait.MakeWriter.html

references to https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/0.2.11/fmt/struct.Subscriber.html and https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/0.2.11/fmt/struct.Layer.html both do not exist.

Thanks for the report, I think the wrong URLs were used for those types.

We should really move over from using URL-based links to using intra-RustDoc links, since we could then get RustDoc to check for links that can't be resolved. That might deserve its own issue, though.

I was looking today at https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Metadata.html#:~:text=compared%20directly%2C%20they-,provide%20a%20method%20id,-%2C%20returning%20an%20opaque which has a broken link - in fact I was going to send you a PR to fix the links, but then I saw that it was already fixed in #940, #1010, etc.

Since that was over a year ago, I wondered why the docs.rs docs are still wrong?

I can see https://docs.rs/tracing-core/latest/tracing_core/metadata/struct.Metadata.html (from tracing-core) the docs are up to date. But the version of the docs when these objects are re-exported in the tracing crate is stale...

I wondered if this was because the recently-released tracing 0.1.32 (2022-03-08) still depends on an older tracing-core 0.1.22 (2022-02-03), but that still should have had these fixes which are from significantly earlier...

Ah, OK: this is fixed in master, but not fixed in the v0.1.x branch that the release comes from: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/blob/v0.1.x/tracing-core/src/metadata.rs.
