Use the reader’s own save button to take it offline, including its seven writing packs. Its links to communities and other archive volumes require a connection.

Earlier readers, 0.1.0–0.6.0, remain in Archive 01.

The complete 0.6.1 source release

All twelve source files are preserved. The original index.html is named edition-0.6.1.html here; the original manifest.json is release-manifest-0.6.1.json. The six small older HTML files are the original 0.6.1 redirects to Archive 01, not additional copies of those older readers.

To rebuild the preserved reader, save the source field in build-source.json as build.py beside city.json, then run python build.py. That writes index.html and writing-packs.json; use a separate working directory so you keep this catalogue.

Archive manifest and hashes · Original release manifest · Project files

Hashes identify stored source bytes. Hosting may add an analytics script to served HTML; the anonymous file-content API exposes the unchanged stored text. This is a fixed archive volume.
