Sorry, due to some of the plugins we are using not yet support version 4, we need to keep staying in version 3. However, our teams have difficulty looking for the version 3 documents.

Please provide the old 3.X documents. Thanks.

Guys if this is an urgent matter you can clone the repo, checkout older revision and then do:

npm i && npm run start-only

Browse to localhost:3000 and there are your docs for any older version just switch the revision

[montogeek]

Please use https://webpack.js.org/v3/ for webpack 3 docs.

@montogeek amazing. I believe this should be somewhere on the github page. Thanks a lot.

https://webpack.js.org/v3/ does not seem to work !

[ApolloTang]

@EugeneHlushko I check out tag v3.11.0, but I can't seem to get it running, would you please help ?
here is the error screen shot:

[montogeek]

Please read the errors, something else is using port 3000

[ApolloTang]

@montogeek thank you
and I apologize for my carelessness. and not reading !!

[ApolloTang]

for other who try to get v3 documentation running locally, instruction are:

git clone git@github.com:webpack/webpack.js.org.git
git checkout tags/v3.11.0
npm i
npm start

note, should be start not start-only

navigate to http://localhost:3000/

https://webpack.js.org/v3/ is down again.
Thanks @ApolloTang for the explanations :)

[sergiubologa]

start script is missing in package file...

[montogeek]

@sergiubologa No https://github.com/webpack/webpack.js.org/blob/master/package.json#L27

[sergiubologa]

Ohh, I see. I cloned the webbpack/webpack instead of webpack/webpack.js.org.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks.
