Older versions (3.2 for 3.3, 3.2 and 3.3 for 3.4) whatsnew refers to Misc/News which contains changes only for currect version ("For full details, see the :source:`Misc/NEWS <Misc/NEWS>` file.").

http://docs.python.org/3.4/whatsnew/3.2.html

The problem is that the source directive (from pyspecific in Sphinx) uses the 'current branch' for which the docs are being built.  Probably we will have to hardcode the links rather than using the source directive.

Even better would be to link to the changelog page instead, but that's only available for Python 3.3/3.4 (does this issue affect 2.7/3.2?).

This issue affects only 3.3+ (see links above).

This should be fixed now.
I linked to http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.2/Misc/NEWS for the 3.2 whatsnew and to http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/changelog.html and http://docs.python.org/3.4/whatsnew/changelog.html for 3.3 and 3.4 respectively.
