- Rejigger how callouts are rendered such that wide embedded text blocks don't cause
things to go haywire.
- Add a thin faint border around callouts, which provides some needed visual definition
without adding weight to the page.
- Fix long-standing bugs where the 'callout wiggle' affected not only the callout's icon,
but also the print/download/copy buttons of nested text blocks.
- Fix dark theme functionality which broke when I converted to TypeScript.
- Added the text_hack shortcode to embed text blocks in a tabset in a list. This fixes the
indenting problem in that case. It's a hack, thus the name, but it works.
- Added a download button in the footer of each page.
- Tweaked the rendering of the horizontal lines in the panels on the home page to
improve appearance and avoid occasional funny rendering.
- Run the SVG optimizer on the site content to reduce the size of a few newly added/updated
files.
- Release notes for a release now sport a warning message if there's a newer patch
available. The warning includes a link to the patch's release notes.
- Release announcement blog posts get the same warning message.
- Release announcement blog posts now generally contain the text of the
release notes directly in place, rather than containing a link to the notes
- Add support for a ticker on the home page.
This will be used for important announcements.
- Implement missing keyboard support in the sidebar.
- Fix keyboard logic in tabs, preventing the strip from being
navigated into.
- Fix keyboard navigation to the print/download/copy buttons in text blocks.
When using the keyboard, those buttons didn't become visible.
- Use common code for menu, tabset, and sidebar navigation logic.
- Fix menu width to use font-size scaling instead of a fixed pixel with.
Also made the menu a bit wider to avoid unsightly wrapping in the menu.
- Set a minimum width for text boxes in order to avoid the print/download/copy
buttons from rendering poorly.
- 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.
- 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.
- Upgrade from UglifyJS to Babel as a JS preprocessor. This lets me use modern ES6 syntax
in the JS code.
- Update JS code to leverage ES6.
- Remove most dependencies on JQuery for faster & smaller code. Once I remove the
dependency on the Bootstrap library, then the dependency on JQuery will also completely
go away.
