The "DOCS" section only covers very recent firmware
On Arednmesh.org, the "Docs" tab only shows guides for firmware (FW) 3.25.5.0 and newer.  The "Archive" choice on the pull down menu leads to nothing.  Maybe this is an oversight, or a bad link.   As the AI named Copilot phrased it  "it’s like someone pulled the rug out from under the institutional memory".  We're running a lot of nodes on 3.24.10.0,  which was only the end of last year.   Some nodes are trapped in the past, FW wise, because of their limitations.   Are older versions of the FW docs available somewhere?  I should have made copies of them.

Older Docs
The documentation we supply is constantly evolving, just like the AREDN firmware. Unlike the firmwsre, the docs are hosted on a platform we do not control. This external platform provider keeps their platform updated (a very good thing) and they require updated parameters in order to build doc versions.  Our old doc versions never had those things (the newer and evolving documentation parameters), so they can no longer be built.  We need to keep up to date with the current platform, so older doc versions will need to roll off going forward as platform updates dictate. We do not have the resources to attempt updating many older documentation versions so that they may be faithfully presented.

Please consider making a copy of the documentation for the version of AREDN firmware you use if you plan to use a particular AREDN firmware version without upgrading for an extended period of time.

Thanks! I found them on the Wayback Machine
 Using  this link  Wayback Classic  I found Aredn docs for older fw versions.  I had to print them out a section at a time and stitch them back together into one document using Merge PDF - quick, online, free - PDF24  but it worked.   Thanks for replying, you guys do a great job, and I bet you keep busy ;-)
