Now even THAT way doesn't work either! The "AppleScript" link in Related
Topics at the Mac OS X page now gets re-routed to
http://developer.apple.com/applescript/ , which is one of the many, many
pages whose Release Notes links get nowhere.
***There is now absolutely NO WAY AT ALL to get to the proper multi-version
Release Notes links page for AppleScript from ANYWHERE on the entire
www.apple.com website.***
There is no way to get to the page from the main Apple site, from its
Developer sub-site, nor from any links to AppleScript-related topics
whatsoever anywhere on the site. I offer a $20 prize to anyone who can find
a way, using only links from www.apple.com.
How crazy is this?
The page still exists, at
http://www.apple.com/applescript/releasenotes/
and there is still a link to it ("AppleScript Release Notes") at
http://www.apple.com/applescript/developers/
But those two pages do not link from anywhere else. Not even from the URL
one step "up":
http://www.apple.com/applescript/
That one gets re-routed to http://www.apple.com/applescript/developers/ ,
which is yet another place you cannot get to full Release Notes from.
So unless you have saved the correct URL somewhere, there is no way you can
find it. What a way to annoy and upset anyone trying to discover changes to
AppleScript for various versions.
What is the point of even having such a page if you need to be a secret
initiate to be able to find it?
