    @Telsek, thanks a lot for your effort, and we apologize for the broken links in the 5.0 documentation. We have earlier mentioned in public that our goal was zero broken links in the 5.0 documentation, however we unfortunately didn't make this.

    As part of internal build process, we actually are validating broken links in built docs, as well as Google Analytics also helps us identify external broken links on the published docs. So really no need for you to manually verify broken links, but feel free to look for other kinds of issues in the docs, i.e. content which can be improved etc.

    We're actively working on reducing the number of broken links even further for 5.1 docs, still with the goal of reaching zero broken links.

    The full list of broken links for 5.0 docs:

    oh that's cool. :)
    As I mentioned, I'm reading the entire manual from start to finish
    not in purpose for links verification :D but for professional enrichment.
    It's only fair to help back by reporting damaged links.

    thanks and regards

    Just to update you, I've fixed the broken links in the manual (in source, at least) and I understand my colleague is fixing the ones in the script ref. All the fixes should be available online soon.

    The docs were updated today, and I can't see the missing link any more.
