Can't find .NET MAUI 8 documentation anymore

[GuiCremasco]

Issue description

Does anyone know why the .NET MAUI 8 documentation is no longer accessible? I can only access the versions ".NET MAUI 9" and ".NET MAUI 10".

.NET MAUI on .NET 8 is out of support as of May and is therefore removed: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/platform/support/policy/maui

[MrMacvos]

I think 'not supported' is not a reason to remove documentation. Old projects still need it. Please add it back, perhaps to a 'Documentation archive'. Or provide a PDF download with 'obsolete' documentation somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

@MrMacvos Appreciate your view, unfortunately not something we can do.

For the future: there is a PDF version available if you go to https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui in the bottom left. Download that and save a copy. I tried to see if there is still a .NET 8 version available, but unfortunately there is not.

And as you indeed already seem to mention: .NET 8 is out of support, so you probably want to update to .NET 9 or probably even 10 at this point in time.

@jfversluis Thanks for looking into it and the where to find a PDF.
