Can't find React 16 docs

[AllanPinheiroDeLima]

I googled it, asked some work colleagues, and nobody seems to know where the docs for v16 are. Is there any docs of this version left ? We have landed a big project that we need do fix, but I don´t find the docs anywhere.
I saw in other threads that older versions of docs are deleted, is that true ? If it isn't online, is there even a place where I can download and serve locally ?

It seems weird to have those docs deleted, since some projects are never updated at all

Thank you!

Been there! I've managed to find what I need on the WayBackMachine, which has pretty thorough snapshots of react.js back to 2017.

I've looked up the docs too, the only information I found related to React v16 were the changelog blogs, undoubtedly you found them too but will leave them here.

But what do you want to look at in the previous docs?
I mean, the new one is a consequence of the older one, so what you want should be at the React 18 documentation.

You can use https://17.reactjs.org/, which is pretty much the same as 16. There have been almost no changes between 16 and 17 except for minor semantic breakages.

@gaearon Why the fuck they removed docs for the older versions? That's nonsense!
Any other lib/framework has docs versioning.

I feel sorry for the thousands of people learning React based on 16.x (looking at you Boot-Camps). When they graduate....there will be No documentation. And no 17 !== 16 18 !== 16 in regards to documentation. This is unprofessional. Not seen anything like this delete the docs move in 20 years.
