Tensorflow 2.6 is no longer available

[JuanVargas]

According to F. Chollet, the code he shared for the second ed of his book is supposed to run under TF 2.6. When I try running that code in more recent versions, I get multipe errors, which are likely due to compatibility problems within versions. Since I wanted to use the code in the book, not fix the compatibiity issues, I thought it would be a good idea to simply install TF 2.6 in a virtual env so that I could focus on working with the code, not on fixing it for newer versions.

Unfortunately I found that the 2.6 version of TF is no longer available via "normal channels" such as "pip install temsorflow==2.6"

And this is truly unfortunate.

I purchased the third ed of the book, because I want to continue learning. I was encouraged to read somewhere in the first pages the author comments where he says that the code is available in GitHub and in Manning. But that is not true.

The code for the 3rd edition is not available in either site.

So this is a message for F. Chollet: Your books are wonderful. Please put the code as you said you would, so that we can use it for learning.
If the code is not available, then at the very least let us know if and when the code will be available, so that we can know what to expect, and can plan how to continue learning.

Thank you
