- Added call-to-action buttons in the 1.1 announcements. We can use the same
buttons in future release announcements.
- Fixed broken large warning icon on the 404 error page.
- Fix oerder of blog posts in the side bar.
- Add support to not expand @@ notations in text blocks and use
it for a text blocks that's currently triggering a build failure
- Fixed broken rendering of some text blocks when syntax coloring
is turned off via the menu.
- Increase the constrast for links, per LightHouse analysis.
- Add support for disabling syntax coloring in example text blocks. This
can be controlled from the menu.
- Work on keyboard navigation support. It's not totally done yet,
but its a lot better than it's ever been.
- Fix incorrect font use for code blocks. They were coming out way
smaller than intended.
- Improve the HTML in a variety of ways to make it better for
screen readers.
- Make better use of html semantic elements to help
search & screen readers.
- Add or improve ARIA annotations for accessibility
- Improve print-time formatting.
- Reshuffle the floating icons to put the most common thing on top
- In the sidebar, if a card has only top-level items (no subsections)
then move the text to the left to soak up the unused room normally
reserved for the chevron. This improves the look for blog-related cards
- Put a wee bit more spacing between the links in the header on mobile
to make 'em easier to hit with fat fingers.
- Now that the scripts are loaded with 'defer', no need to trigger all
behavior via a DOMContentLoaded event handler as the scripts will all
naturally run after the DOM has been loaded.
- Use a considerably simpler approach to copy to the clipboard in code
blocks. This saves around 10K of script code believe it or not.
- We now display an "Edit this Page" and a "Report Bugs" button on every page
when rendering the preliminary mode site.
- Optimized the SVG imagery for smaller size and thus faster download & parsing.
This removes two very large dependencies which ends up making
each page load considerably faster, especially on mobile. Plus,
not using bootstrap actually made several things simpler throughout
the site's logic.
- Refactor script code into smaller more manageable files.
- Use consistent naming style in script code.
- Stop using Bootstrap's dropdowns and popovers in favor of custom implementation.
There are only a few uses of Bootstrap to purge before I can ditch
the dependency on the Bootstrap & JQuery libraries, which will speed
up page loads.
- Find a few more static strings that should come from the xlation
dictionary instead.
- Fix ordering of the new "Older Notes" entry in the release notes
area to ensure it is always last.
- Fix layout issue with narrow widths clipping a few characters off the left
edge of the page.
- Remove offending href syntax leading to bogus complaints from htmlproofer.
When you select a different version of the site from the gear menu,
we now try to put you on the same page in the other version if that
page exists. If the same page can't be found, then you land at the
root of the other site, like you did before.
