The website at https://weewx.com/docs/ redirects to  https://weewx.com/docs/4.10, which returns a 404.
Likewise, my previous tabs  that were sitting on  V5 docs returned a 404 when I refreshed them.

I thought it might have been an upgrade in process, but it's been an hout or two now.

hi cameron,

docs are fixed (again).

weewx.com/docs  - always refers to the latest release of the docs
weewx.com/docs/4.10 - the docs that go with 4.10
weewx.com/docs/5.0 - the docs that go with 5.0
weewx.com/docs/5.x - the docs that go with 5.x (future releases)

with v5 we decided to *not* ship the docs with the distribution packages, only with the sources.

the v5 docs are no longer plain html - they require mkdocs and mkdocs+material (two additional python packages) in order to build them, and on top of that one must use a specific version of each, otherwise the docs break.

so we will host the docs at weewx.com for each minor release.  if you should ever need to build the docs for a specific weewx version you can download that source tarball then build the docs.

Hello Daniel,
Did you clear the cache?
Every link works, also the other one you posted in another thread.

Greetings Erwin
