# Documentation Changelog

This page records material changes to the NetMap documentation itself. Use it to find newly documented topics, corrected procedures, navigation changes, and changes in version coverage.

This is separate from the NetMap product [Changelog](/reference/changelog.md), which describes application releases and supplies the in-app **What's new** content. A documentation-only correction does not imply that application behavior changed.

## 6 August 2026

### Added

* Added the **NetMap** homepage with entry paths for users, administrators, operators, API consumers, and contributors.
* Added **How to Use This Documentation**, including search, permission, placeholder, safety, and documentation-gap conventions.
* Added **Quick Links by Goal** and a complete human-readable documentation sitemap.
* Added this documentation changelog, version-compatibility guidance, and a dedicated procedure for reporting documentation problems.
* Added standalone VitePress configuration, portable GitBook `SUMMARY.md` navigation, local search, and the official NetMap favicon.

### Changed

* Organized reader documentation into descriptive, unnumbered section folders. GitBook order comes from `SUMMARY.md`, and VitePress order comes from `.vitepress/config.mts`.
* Moved the documentation into the separate `xoriin/netmap-docs` repository.
* Preserved former documentation URLs through build-time redirects to the current section paths.
* Recorded production NetMap `v1.5.0` as the version basis at the time of writing.
* Replaced maintainer-only release material with a contributor workflow based on forks and the `test` branch.
* Removed documentation-hosting, internal inventory, and maintenance-plan pages from the published product navigation.
* Configured GitBook to use **NetMap** as the homepage instead of publishing the repository `README.md` as a separate page.

### Version coverage

* The seven pages in **Orientation** are reviewed against production NetMap `v1.5.0`.
* Pages in later sections remain part of the imported documentation baseline until their individual checklist entries pass a source-backed review.

## How this changelog is maintained

Add an entry when a documentation change materially affects what readers can find, understand, or safely do. Examples include:

* a new or substantially rewritten page;
* a corrected command, permission, default, endpoint, or destructive-action warning;
* changed support or version coverage;
* a renamed or moved page;
* changed navigation or search behavior;
* a removed obsolete procedure;
* a resolved documentation gap.

Routine spelling, punctuation, and formatting corrections do not need individual entries unless they change meaning.

Each entry should name the affected reader goal and, when relevant, the NetMap version or channel whose behavior was verified. Do not copy product release notes here; link to the product changelog instead.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.netmap.dev/orientation/documentation-changelog.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
