Apr 1, 2026For 2026-04 in geoserver/geoserver, delivered deployment pipeline optimization, docs site modernization, and a duplicate-docs-card fix. Implemented direct GitHub Pages deployment via Actions API, split the docs build and deploy stages to boost reliability, and added a temporary homepage redirect during the documentation migration. Documentation improvements covered metadata updates, spelling/terminology fixes, UI polish (header/footer redesign, dark mode in Swagger UI), and brand token updates. Resolved a duplication issue by removing duplicate documentation cards from the docs index. Outcomes: faster release cycles (fork test showed ~2 minutes for the full workflow vs ~15 minutes previously), reduced PR friction thanks to environment-safe, two-stage deploys, and improved docs clarity, UX, and branding consistency.
