Where to find documentation for old releases?

404 views (last 30 days)
Starting from yesterday of grand upgrading to R2012b, I could not find even documentations for R2012a (online way), which I am currently learning at.
Tried google, MathlabCentral, everything.
Can someone please help.
Thanks,

mathworks.com -> Support -> Documentation Center
and right under the funny "R2012b" there is a line "Installation | Release Notes | Other Releases" so click on Other Releases to reach http://www.mathworks.com/help/doc-archives.html

The Link you posted still works to find the archive and my brower bookmarks still find the Doc for my old release, but I think since the release of 2015a the mentioned Links in the default Documentation (for 2015a now) for "Other releases" disappeared. Or am I missing something? I cant find any regular Button in the Documentation Center to find the old Docs anywhere.

On a more practical note, if the address-bar says something like:
mathworks.com/help/stats/blah.html
You can simply insert:
mathworks.com/help/releases/R2015b/stats/blah.html

Mathworks now has a policy of only hosting 5 years of documentation. I am told that keeping the search infrastructure up to date was taking significant resources.

From the documentation home page, click on "Other releases" in the left-hand menu:
