I have to assume it was an accident, because even older release notes (for Foundation 10.4 and older) are still available. But perhaps it wasn't an accident; some people claim to have seen them in the legacy document set shortly afterwards, but they are gone from that set now, too.

Yes, as I said I have the legacy set, but can only find the 10.4 and 10.6 notes. For AppKit I can find a document containing all older release notes in a single document, all the way back to 10.0, and even linked from the 10.6 release notes. Makes no sense not to have the same for Foundation, as that is at least as important.

For example, some of the principal documentation for Cocoa Scripting (AppleScript) says to read the 10.5 Foundation Release Notes for important information about many AppleScript changes that were made in Leopard. But the release notes are now gone, so there is literally no available documentation for those very important AppleScript changes in Leopard.

Indeed, that's precisely what I need them for. And I obviously agree it's outrageous.

I actually just noticed that I already did this a while ago! Though they did not even bother to flag it as a duplicate.
