Use Classic to read earlier Topaz tutorials and follow their detailed examples. For a new program, start with the current Learning Path linked below.
Open a Classic guide
The Topaz 5.6 manual contains 19 pages. Open its introduction in your language below.
On a Classic page, the sidebar opens the Classic group automatically. Links within these pages lead to other Classic material. Classic pages are available from this menu and their direct addresses. The current manual search omits them.
Choose historical or current guidance
Classic preserves earlier explanations of functions, types, control flow, collections, and practical projects. Its examples use the syntax and features described at that time.
Choose the guide for your task before using an old example in new code.
| Your task | Where to go |
|---|---|
| Write a new program | Learning Path |
| Look up current syntax | Syntax at a Glance |
| Adapt an old source file | Moving to 5.21 |
| Find what changed in a version | History |
Read Public Source and Licenses for component terms, the compiler seed and actual release availability.
Current documentation addresses
The version in the web address identifies the current manual. The version information, canonical links and sitemap use the same documentation version. Old version addresses lead directly to the corresponding current topic in the same language. These temporary redirects can change with the next documentation version.
Classic is a separate collection of earlier tutorials. Its existing pages keep their own addresses. Available release files are listed on the Install page. A documentation version can precede the executable release.
