What is the difference between version.myappid.appspot.com and version.latest.myappid.appspot.com?

Solution
The `*.latest.app.appspot.com` convention was originally the only way to access a specific version of your app. This was changed to simply accessing them directly as subdomains a while ago; `latest` was kept as a special case so as not to break old URLs.
Problem
The Google App Engine documentation says that the URL to access a specific version of an app deployed is .latest..appspot.com. The GAE admin webpage however links to ..appspot.com in the Versions tab and omits the 'latest'. Any idea what that 'latest' is for? Is it actually not needed? Is omitting it not taking you the latest code deployed for that specific version? References: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/config/appconfig
