No further changes will be made to the aTbRef95 baseline but I will soon update it , like other old baselines with a page-head banner indicating it is out of date.
To do:
PDFs of aTbRef10 & the app manual. This might take a bit longer (because reasons)
I’m hoping this is the first time I’ll get a new baseline done with no missed legacy links. Even so, if you spot anything broken/missing or pointing to the old site do please let me know. If I know of a glitch, then I can find it and fix it.
If you find the site of use, contributions to domain/server/tool costs are welcomed - there is a donate link in the footer of all pages. Regardless, I stress the atbref website is and remains free for all to use, reflecting that need and funds are not always matching.
aTbREf95 baseline site pages now have (where pertinent) a redirect banner at the top of the page indicating there is a newer baseline. The link in the banner points to atbef.com which always points to the current baseline (i.e. the home page of aTbRef10 at present). This approach is used because:
Article names (their URLs) and the outline structure of aTbRef have changed over the years. For instance, a lot of action code operator articles changed going from v9 to v9.5 baseline, they having otherwise been stable since v5 baseline.
By having a common re-direct to atbref.com, I can keep all old baselines online with a link to the current baseline without worrying about differing article name/outlines in different sites or having to update retired baselines.
For longterm and power users, having access to old documentation, can be useful if updating old TBXs and their code in order to understand how features have changed over time.
in many cases, changing the baseline in the URL allows you to change ‘version’ of a page (if the article name/location is the same).
Baselines, as seen in URLs, go: tbx, atbref45, atbref46, atbref5, atbref6, atbref7, atbref8, atbref9, atbref95.
currently, URLs should be pretty stable/consistent for baseline atbref95 and the current atbref10.
To point out the obvious: the massive amount of work, and fierce dedication to staying on task, that @mwra, Mark Anderson has devoted to aTbRef and one-on-one support, for countless years (may seem like centuries to him), is probably the highest example of end user support of any software in the Mac world.
