Implement documentation for classes and enums.
Engine documentation is retrieved from the creator-docs repository and included directly within class and enum pages.

Search: Add ancestor selector to select classes according to the order of their superclasses. For example, superclass:GuiObject ancestor:0 will only select classes where the parent superclass is “GuiObject”.
Search: Remove n, f, y, and t as options to boolean selectors, for being too ambiguous.
Add longest enum item name to statistics.
Add longest full name to statistics (primary + secondary name).
Add shortest names to statistics.
API updates RSS now has links for each listed change.

Search: Fix removed and is field selectors not returning correct results in some cases.

Search: Prefix selectors have been rebranded as field selectors. All selectors of the form field:value now concern only entity fields.
Search: The syntax of result selectors now has the form /name:value to distinguish them from field selectors.
Search: The syntax of list selectors has been revised. For example, instead of list:parameters, it is now just parameters: (that is, a field selector without a value).
- The list: selector is now *:.
- foo:* can be used to select all entities that have field foo.
Search: Add N..M selector for numeric ranges. For example, members:50..100 selects classes with between 50 and 100 members.
Search: Add ~text~ selector for explicitly specifying a fuzzy search.
Search: Fix numeric values less than or equal to 0 failing to match (e.g. superclasses:0).
Search: Fix empty strings failing to match (e.g. threadsafety:"").
Search: Fix primary compound selector incorrectly selecting secondary entities.

Implement advanced search engine parser.
The basic search query syntax is the same as before: words will perform a fuzzy search over names.
The search page details the full syntax.
While focused, the search bar covers the full width of the header.
Fix missing thread safety field in member sections.
Remove redundant member type field in member sections.
Consolidate can-load and can-save fields in property sections.
Reorganize member sections to display principle data (parameters, types) more prominently.
Use index card to display property type and default value.

Complete rewrite of frontend and backend.
Modernized frontend with improved support for a wider variety of device sizes.
Simplified backend based on Hugo.
Updates work again.
Use modern Roblox icons.
Display recent updates on main page.
Display inheritance of removed classes on main page.
Add separate pages for listing each kind of entity (classes, enums, types).
Change DevHub links to point directly to Creator Hub.
Add link to release notes for corresponding updates.
Use Luau-style type signatures in member index.
Only display latest history for each member in index. Member sections still display all history.
Display sibling classes (classes that inherit from the same superclass).
Display thread safety of class members.
Display legacy names of enum items, when available.
Pages have more detailed list of related entities.
Add Auto theme setting, which selects a theme based on the device’s preferred color scheme.
Add setting to toggle visibility of unscriptable properties.
Backend incorporates “full” API dump, which has more information than the standard API dump, including serialize-only properties.
Add page listing statistics about the API.
Significantly more detailed search database (search syntax coming soon).
No longer includes Reflection Metadata (may be added back later).
No longer includes custom documentation (docs from creator-docs will be added later).
Fix search sometimes not including all possible results.
