# Documentation Changelog
|
|
|
|
## 2024 Update - Truth-Based Documentation Revision
|
|
|
|
This changelog documents the major documentation updates to align with the actual BotServer 6.0.8 implementation.
|
|
|
|
### Overview
|
|
|
|
The documentation has been **comprehensively updated** to reflect the real architecture, features, and structure of the BotServer codebase. Previous documentation contained aspirational features and outdated architectural descriptions that didn't match the implementation.
|
|
|

## Methodology
|
|
|
|
This documentation update was created by:
|
|
|
|
1. **Source Code Analysis**: Reading actual implementation in `src/`
|
|
2. **Cargo.toml Review**: Identifying real dependencies and features
|
|
3. **Template Inspection**: Examining `templates/` directory structure
|
|
4. **Module Verification**: Checking `src/lib.rs` exports
|
|
5. **Feature Testing**: Verifying optional features compile
|
|
6. **Cross-Referencing**: Ensuring documentation matches code
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
To verify this documentation matches reality:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check module structure
|
|
cat src/lib.rs
|
|
|
|
# Check Cargo features
|
|
cat Cargo.toml | grep -A 10 '\[features\]'
|
|
|
|
# Check templates
|
|
ls -la templates/
|
|
|
|
# Check version
|
|
grep '^version' Cargo.toml
|
|
|
|
# Build with features
|
|
cargo build --release --features vectordb,email
|
|
```
|

## Contributing Documentation
|
|
|
|
When contributing documentation:
|
|
|
|

|
|
2. ✅ **Include version numbers** - Document what version you're describing
|
|
3. ✅ **Test examples** - Ensure code examples actually work
|
|
4. ✅ **Link to source** - Reference actual files when possible
|
|
5. ✅ **Mark status** - Use ✅ ⚠️ 📝 to indicate documentation quality
