One thing you could do would be to use an IDE (Eclipse, NetBeans, Komodo) that supports "mouse hovering" or autocomplete "balloon" documentation of functions, once it has digested a complete Drupal 4.7 site. Victor On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 5:03 AM, Buzai Andras <buzai.andras@gmail.com>wrote:
Yes, I second that. It would be nice to have a place on *.drupal.org. for the old API's.

Just to clarify, all of the API documentation for any Drupal release is contained in in-code comments, so if you download Drupal 4.6 (or get it

It looks like the 4.7 API is also gone from api.drupal.org.
I'm not familiar with the exact rationale behind removing the old documentation, but I previously found it handy to be able to go back to unsupported releases to learn about the history and the changes in current functions. While I can understand removing old releases to hammer in that they aren't supported, it would still be useful to have old release API documentation existing somewhere on *.drupal.org for historical and educational purposes.
Perhaps we could have a static HTML version of the old APIs posted somewhere?
