Content care: Nov 04, 2018 Up­dat­ed sta­tus of PRs sub­mit­ted to third-par­ty projects.

One of great­est strengths that de­vel­oped in Mag­num over time is its mod­u­lar­i­ty and flex­i­bil­i­ty. Un­til now the ca­pa­bil­i­ties were not re­al­ly well com­mu­ni­cat­ed, lead­ing to false im­pres­sion. The new Fea­ture Over­view pages with in­ter­ac­tive ar­chi­tec­ture di­a­grams are de­signed to show mod­u­lar­i­ty and ex­ten­si­bil­i­ty as a core prin­ci­ple and the fo­cus is now on im­prov­ing and doc­u­ment­ing the flex­i­bil­i­ty even fur­ther.

The Build Sta­tus page pri­ma­ry shows per-project, per-plat­form build sta­tus in a more de­tailed way than the bi­na­ry “ev­ery­thing is awe­some” / “some­thing’s bro­ken” sta­tus badges from CI servers. There’s al­so a new Doc­u­men­ta­tion Down­loads page that will be grad­u­al­ly filled with down­load­able con­tent for in­te­grat­ing Mag­num docs in­to your projects or IDEs.

m.css You may have no­ticed that the pages don’t take long to load. Great ef­fort was put in­to the over­all web­site per­for­mance and re­spon­sive­ness. As a graph­ics de­vel­op­er I would be feel­ing re­al­ly bad for pre­sent­ing a de­signed-to-be-fast graph­ics en­gine with a slug­gish web­site ;) The web­site is built us­ing m.css, a no-non­sense, no-JavaScript CSS frame­work. It was orig­i­nal­ly de­vel­oped main­ly to pow­er this web­site, but thanks to its sim­plic­i­ty and light­weight ap­proach it has al­ready been adopt­ed by nu­mer­ous peo­ple since its re­lease in late Oc­to­ber 2017. Be­sides CSS style, m.css pro­vides a theme for Pel­i­can stat­ic site gen­er­a­tor and a bunch of use­ful plug­ins for gen­er­at­ing nice­ly high­light­ed code blocks, ren­der­ing math equa­tions, and more.

Doxy­gen theme The builtin Doxy­gen HTML out­put didn’t re­al­ly serve my ex­pec­ta­tions any­more and I need­ed some­thing to match the web­site theme. That led to cre­at­ing a m.css Doxy­gen theme, which us­es XML out­put from Doxy­gen to pro­duce a mod­ern and re­spon­sive HTM­L5 markup. You can see the Doxy­gen theme live at https://doc.magnum.graphics. Please note that the theme is still a work-in-progress and some fea­tures (such as sym­bol search) are yet to be im­ple­ment­ed. The doc­u­men­ta­tion con­tent is grad­u­al­ly proof­read, up­dat­ed, and im­proved to match the new theme.

Open con­tent All con­tent on this site is com­ing from a reST source that’s pro­cessed to HTML us­ing Pel­i­can and then up­load­ed to Apache that’s just serv­ing stat­ic con­tent. As straight­for­ward as it can get. The full web­site con­tent is pub­licly avail­able on GitHub at mosra/mag­num-web­site. Even this very ar­ti­cle, see how it looks in its raw form: New Magnum website is here --- a stepping stone for what is to come ################################################################### :date: 2018-01-03 :modified: 2018-11-04 :category: Meta :cover: {static}/img/blog/new-website-is-here.jpg :tags: Doxygen, C++, m.css :summary: The new website does a better job at clearly presenting engine features and enables the team to share progress easier than before. Besides that, its development resulted in many valuable byproducts for both C++ developers and web content publishers. .. note-success :: Content care: Nov 04, 2018 Updated status of PRs submitted to third-party projects. One of greatest strengths that developed in Magnum over time is its modularity and flexibility. Until now the capabilities were not really well communicated, leading to false impression.
