We’ve been working hard on automating steps that can be automated. One of those steps is generating and publishing the API documentation. The documentation at [MapWinGIS: MapWinGIS ActiveX Control](https://mapwindow.org/documentation/mapwingis4.9/index.html) is a bit outdated, the URL is misleading and we have had no FTP access to [mapwindow.org](http://mapwindow.org) for years. I’ve moved the documentation part into a new repository: [github.com/MapWindow/MapWindow-Documentation](https://github.com/MapWindow/MapWindow-Documentation). This repo already contains the HTML files for the website and for the API documentation. A placeholder is created for the documentation of MapWindow5. I also implemented Github Actions making the generating of the documentation run automatically on every commit. These files are then published to Github pages: [mapwindow.github.io/MapWindow-Documentation/mapwingis](https://mapwindow.github.io/MapWindow-Documentation/mapwingis/index.html) It is now using a temporary URL. I’m trying to get in touch with the owner of [mapwindow.org](http://mapwindow.org) to let it point to these Github pages. The documentation hasn’t been updated yet, but I’ll be working on that in the coming weeks. I will also try to change the style a bit more and use a dark theme so we don’t get blinded every time we look at the page 😉
