The usage of a build date prevents reproducible builds.
Sorry to revisit this change. I have reviewed the generated the docs and they look good and the changes are welcome, thank you. I would like to ask a few
questions.

1. Can the hash be the short version? I am seeing in the PDF in the page header:

  Release 5.0.0.05d066a08fe840f6f926bf6d2f3f3c0ebd6cc603 (9th January 2019)

which is correct but the page header is now 2 lines and a line on a page in the PDF is precious. In the Classic API manual at 716 pages this is 716 extra lines.
Can we use a shortened hash?

I played a bit around view various variants. One problem I had is in case the version line is long but not enough for two lines, then it overlaps the chapter number in the header. If you want a one liner, then the chapter number, the document title and the version must fit into it. I think this is only possible if we drop the date, use a short hash and cut down some document titles (or use a smaller font size).

We have to take also the hash-modified modifier into account if you build with a non-clean Git checkout.


For the date we could also try to use the "today" variable in conf.py and use it for example in the PDF first page template separate from the version.
