Hope I'm not hijacking here (I'll create a new post if so, although it seems relevant to this thread).

I'm at a critical point today at work - I need to scour the MtoA changelog to assess and hopefully eliminate what could be causing some visual/colour issues with existing shaders/assets when moving up from Arnold 5 to Arnold 6

I went to https://www.arnoldrenderer.com/arnold/download/ where the release notes are but the link no longer works.

Does anyone have an offline version of the release notes that I could look through asap while the site is reconfigured?

@Stephen Blair can you guys maybe publish PDF's for the documentation since there is no ETA?

I don't think that's possible. The documentation is a wiki that lives on the server that is down.

It's hard to believe that a company of this size could possibly fail to fix links to their documentation for over a week now. I saw responses in a few different threads stressing that there is "no ETA" on when the documentation will be back up. I mean, a "leading provider of rendering software" that can't fix a broken link on their own website? Really? You guys can do better than this!

This situation is incredibly frustrating for those of us who are trying to teach classes that use Arnold . Please fix this asap!

It's not just a broken link. It is a problem with the entire wiki (the documentation is a Confluence wiki) and the server that wiki lives on.

If I could give a meaningful ETA I would. But I don't have one.
