In this release we focused on improving multi-module experience that would allow links, search and navigation to be rendered for the whole project rather than independent modules. We have also updated the compiler to 1.4.30 and introduced the versioning plugin for the multi module, that lets users generate documentation for each version incrementally and switch between them on the main page.
