# v0.8.3 — Release Notes

**Date:** 2026-08-04 · **Tag:** [`v0.8.3`](https://git.kubebase.de/admin/tool-evaluator/releases/tag/v0.8.3)

## New features

- **Version-based documentation**: Each release now carries a
  complete docs snapshot (manual + API reference). Via the
  version dropdown you can reach the docs of the respective version
  (`/docs/vX.Y.Z/…`) — including the manual and reference as they
  applied at release time. The last 7 versions remain available.
- **Help buttons in forms (NetBox style)**: For evaluation, tool
  create/edit, costs, comparing, watchlist and analytics there is now
  a help icon that leads directly to the matching guide in the manual.

## Fixes & improvements

- **Gitea tag links fixed**: `…/tags/vX.Y.Z` was a 404 page; the
  correct URL is `/releases/tag/vX.Y.Z` (in all release notes and the
  docs page).
- Version switching now leads to the docs of the selected version instead of
  just the release page; old `/docs/vX.Y.Z` redirects are removed.
- Docs generator: `--snapshot` creates manual + reference per version; on
  build, the snapshots of the last 7 versions are included.

## API changes

- No changes to the API.

## Operations / upgrade

- **Env vars:** unchanged.
- **Migration:** none.
- **Breaking changes:** none. New release notes must use the correct
  tag link (see `docs/releases/TEMPLATE.md`). For versions before
  this release, snapshots can be created retroactively:
  `node scripts/src/generate-docs.mjs --snapshot vX.Y.Z`.

## Known limitations

- Older releases without a snapshot (e.g. v0.6.0) only show their release notes,
  no manual/reference. Backfill with `--snapshot`.
- The docs version corresponds to the state of the docs at the time the
  snapshot was created; manual changes apply from the respective next release.
