MrDocs models everything it extracts (namespaces, records, functions, types, doc comments, and so on) as a tree of C++ structs. Every one of those structs has to be compared, serialized, and exposed to Handlebars templates as a DOM object. Historically, each of those jobs meant another hand-written function or function template per type, and each new field meant touching all of them. Miss one and nothing breaks loudly; the field just quietly fails to appear in the output. Much of what follows...

Q1 was all about identifying Boost.Graph user community and implementing a community detection algorithm. Q2 has been focusing on making Boost.Graph a comfy place where our community can thrive by exorcising the old legacy shadows that a 30-year-old project inevitably summons. Where the Shadows Lie Over its 30 years of existence, Boost.Graph naturally accumulated technical debt and quite a few ghosts. Some of those are invisible to users, like an outdated C++ style, internal const-correctne...

Not one room somewhere. The whole community that writes it every day. ...

Doc Previews and Doc Builds Progress on isomorphic-git: after the pull request “support git commands run in submodules” was merged and released, Antora updated their version of isomorphic-git so the new features are live there also. The maintainer of Antora added more CI tests aimed at this functionality, and uncovered a problem that the program failed in certain circumstances on Microsoft Windows where line-endings are different. Bouncing the issue back to isomorphic-git again, it seems no ...
