I am relying on an old orb (circleci/node@1.0.1) and it seems that there are some commands no longer available in the more recent orbs. Please can anyone indicate where to find documentation on:  
a) commands/configuration options of older orbs and  
b) even better indication of which commands are no longer supported and what the suggested alternative  
c) see a list of all registered orb versions so that I can try to find an the latest orb that jsut still supports by old command

Hi @ProbStub,

You can see the code source of any version of public orb by using the [CircleCI CLI](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/local-cli/) with the command: `circleci orb source orb_name@version`.

So in this case:

```auto
circleci orb source circleci/node@1.0.1

```

Usually, all releases of a given orb can be found in the related repository of the [**CircleCI-Public** GitHub organization](https://github.com/CircleCI-Public).

However, `circleci/node@1.0.1` is indeed quite an old version, and I can see it’s not present in the [list of releases](https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/node-orb/releases). That said, all other versions from `1.0.2` onwards are present in the repository.

Awesome! This worked for me. Sorry to be asking for such an old orb but I am trying to move my single machine node deployments to GKE following this [slightly outdated guide on the CircleCI blog](https://circleci.com/blog/simplifying-your-ci-cd-build-pipeline-to-gke-with-circleci-orbs/)  
As it happens there is very little useful GKE deployment documentation so that guide seems like the best place to start from even despite the old orb 😄
