If you’ve checked out our documentation lately, you’ll notice things look a bit different. We’ve just finished a major overhaul of how we build and host our docs. While we’ve had a version switcher for a while, the “engine” under the hood was getting a bit clunky, and some of the Sphinx extensions we used were unmaintained.

We moved away from the Read The Docs theme and sphinx-multiversion in favor of a custom, decoupled build system using the PyData Sphinx theme. Previously, we had to re-generate the documentation for every single version of Gaia Sky every time we made a change to the master branch. As you can imagine, that didn’t scale well.

Today we publish the new Gaia Sky web site. If you are reading this, you obviously know it. I’ve been working on this for a while, and, even though it is not yet finished, I think it is now ready to be deployed. Until now, we have used the website of our institute, which uses the Typo3 CMS, as our home page. In a few days, I’ll make it point to this new site.
