We welcome code contributions through pull requests, issues tagged as help-wanted are good candidate to start contributing code.

Prerequisites

  • Need .NET Core 6.x SDK, .NET Framework 4.7.2 and F# development tools.
• Install NodeJS (16.x.x).

Branch and Release

The main branch is the default branch for pull requests and most other development activities. We occationally use feature/* branches for epic feature development.

Releases are based on a stable main branch commit using GitHub Releases. Release versioning follows Semantic Versioning. Use of Conventional Commit is encouraged.

Docfx is not released under a regular cadence, new versions arrive when maintainers see enough changes that warrant a new releases. Sometimes we use prereleases to dogfood breaking changes and get feedbacks from the community.

Roadmap

We use Milestones to communicate upcoming changes docfx:

• Working Set are features being actively worked on. Not every features in this bucket will be committed in the next release but they reflect top of minds of maintainers in the upcoming period.

• Backlog is a set of feature candidates for some future releases, but are not being actively worked on.
