there were many changes on the website with Juce4.0.
Now that it's been a while still some points are confusing to me.
1. What are official API docs?
probably official, but not eye-friendly https://www.juce.com/doc/classes
do you also keep the more eye-friendly one up to date? https://www.juce.com/juce/api/classes.html
probably not official? http://jucebrary.sourceforge.net/docs/doxygen/classes.html
2. Advanced Tutorials
Via some links, I found some advanced Tutorials, I think at http://www.juce.com/doc/tutorials_coming_soon
This page is now gone and I think not all tutorials are there on the regular tutorial page.
Will they appear again (and the previously announced ones on above page)?
Asked myself often the same question. Would it be possible to simply add a creation timestamp in the pages footer, so that you can check if you are looking at the up to date docs...?
And would also prefer the "eye-friendly" version (didn't know it exists before, thanks Harry). Despite the fancy company representation on the rest of the page, I would go here for "form follows function"...
thanks for the clarification.
Maybe my comment was misleading. What I really wanted to say is:
Can you please make the API doc more eye-friendly, e.g. like this new forum.
Some advanced and useful tutorials were already accessible under “tutorials_coming_soon” and now they’re gone again!
That’s too bad, as Juce lacks of advanced docs. The current tutorials are all very basic.
So it would be great to release them again soon… Thanks!
About the API doc: so you’d like a brighter colour scheme? I’ll forward this request to the webteam (you’re not the only one who has been asking for this btw) but I can’t promise anything unfortunately.
About those advanced tutorials: they were never meant to be online as they are not reviewed/complete yet! But we will release them officially as soon as we can.
@harryg
You can just go to the doxygen folder of your local juce repository and run doxygen. This will generate the up to date offline API documentation.
If you want an online version with the default doxygen colours, I have set up one of my servers to generate the API docs daily. It uploads them to: http://klangfreund.github.io/jucedoc/
@daniel This comes with a timestamp at the bottom too. I really don’t understand why the ROLI developers removed the timestamp from the doxy footer…
A huge thank for @samuel for rolling his own and sharing them with us, but this really is frustrating. I don’t really care what the forum looks like. I’m indifferent to how the main JUCE page looks, but for people like I who don’t know JUCE inside out, and who depend on documentation to get by, I find the current docs terrible. I and many others here have been using doxygen docs for well over a decade. I don’t care if they look naff because navigating them is second nature to me and I can quickly and efficiently find whatever I want. Why can’t developer friendly doxygen docs be hosting on JUCE’s github page, just as @smauel has done? You can keep your themed docs at www.juce.com so that everything falls in line with the way you want the site to look, and the way you wish to present JUCE to the world. You can change the colour scheme all you want, but please give us back the doxygen docs!
I kept on using your nice developer-friendly API docs.
But now I noticed that it seems outdated: although the generation date is yesterday, the content still seems old.
Maybe the doxygen is generated, but the code update is somehow broken/tied to an old branch?
thanks for the notice! The git pulling on the server was stuck, even though I never touched the local repo… Stashing helped. On this occasion I also switched from the master to the develop branch for the documentation.
