User Interface

The Symphony UI has been simplified and most animations have been moved from script functions to style definitions. Overall the backend should handle large data sets much better and should be more responsive.

As of Symphony 2.4 we are using Grunt to merge and compress assets. Please see the readme for more information on Grunt. This is new assets folder structure:

/css
- /src
- minified sources
/js

Storing Documentation

Documenter should not longer store documentation in the database but in plain Markdown text files on the server in the workspace folder. This way, it would be possible to easily share texts between installs and to track changes using Git.

Showing Documentation

In order to keep things simple, documentation should be converted from Markdown to HTML on the fly. This will remove the need to keep server and database in sync. To reduce page load, we could do the following instead:

Documenter should only add references to the actual files on the server when loading a backend page.
Each of these reference should carry a last modified timestamp of the server file.
