Description

Today I was talking to somebody about the history of Rust and how it used to have the priv keyword, I was looking for some of the old tutorials and manuals. It seems some of the links in the Rust 0.x of the archive are broken, for example to the old manuals and the tutorials:

I’ve not had time to go through and check all of the links, but I thought I’d let people know in case it’s been missed!

Research direction

Open the Rust 0.x section of the archive release-history page and check the listed 0.3.0 and 0.4.0 manual and tutorial links, then review the remaining links in that section. Done means the broken references are corrected and the Rust 0.x archive links work.
