-* Tracking Issue: [#7907](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/7907)
-
-The `-Z crate-versions` flag will make `cargo doc` include appropriate crate versions for the current crate and all of its dependencies (unless `--no-deps` was provided) in the compiled documentation.

-You can find an example screenshot for the cargo itself in the tracking issue.
