Hrm.  I see the page describing it here:
http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/readability-avoid-const-params-in-decls.html
but I think those docs are continuously rebuilt from trunk.

The release specific URL you added does not work and if you look in the base directory for that URL:
http://llvm.org/releases/3.8.0/tools/clang/tools/extra/docs/clang-tidy/checks/
you will not find a file for readability-avoid-const-params-in-decls

I suspect it means that the documentation was added since the 3.8 release and therefore the check isn't actually available in the 3.8 release either.  Yep, looking at the github mirror for branch release_38, this check isn't present.  See the [[ https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang-tools-extra/tree/release_38/clang-tidy/readability | mirror on github ]] to verify this.

Therefore, I conclude that the check should be listed in the what's new for 3.9 section and not what was added between 3.7 and 3.8.
