It’s done! As of today, the new “KOMA-Script and Friends” website can be found at komascript.de. All remaining pages from the old “KOMA-Script Documentation Project” have either been adapted for the How-To pages in the Wiki, formatted for new friends or the blog, moved to the archive, or deleted as not worth keeping. To be clear: The old pages are now truly and genuinely gone.

The new “KOMA-Script and Friends” or “KOMA-Script und Freunde” no longer uses a dynamic CMS where pages are retrieved from an SQL database and processed via PHP. Instead, everything is generated as static pages using Hugo. Nevertheless— at least on komascript.de—search functionality is still available. For this, Fuse.js is used. The search index is also generated statically when the pages are built.

That’s a good question, and there’s only one—rather poor—answer to it: Because I don’t have any need for it myself.

The fact is that, for decades, I’ve been creating everything from architectural plans to novels using LaTeX, and I almost always use KOMA-Script for that. For years now, however, KOMA-Script has been able to do everything I need. Furthermore, the number of documents I create is steadily decreasing; or rather, I’m creating the same types of documents over and over again, just with different content. As a result, I can no longer test new features in KOMA-Script sufficiently well in my daily work. Even if I use the current beta version of KOMA-Script for all my documents, I’ll therefore hardly find any new bugs.
