readthedocs build does not work

[pinterf]

The latest rst updates do not appear at Avisynth online documentation.

E.g. I created a dummy 3.7.4 part in the version history but our readthedocs page is not showing that. https://avisynthplus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/avisynthdoc/overview.html#versions-history

I checked the webhook publishing is OK, as I see here: https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus/settings/hooks

Then I found a build history over there: "build failed" as seen in https://readthedocs.org/projects/avisynthplus/builds/22268009/ Error The configuration file required to build documentation is missing from your project. Add a configuration file to your project to make it build successfully. Read more at https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config-file/v2.html It says, we need a .readthedocs.yaml in our root git folder. But we do not have such file. Last time the build was successful was on July 16, 2023. (https://readthedocs.org/projects/avisynthplus/builds/21312134/ ) Then it failed on September 28th.

My questions:

• I can't see any changes in readthedocs change log on requirements about .readthedocs.yaml. Then how did readthedocs formerly know, that our documentation config is placed in distrib\docs\english\source\conf.py
• who is now the maintainer of our readthedocs?

They could find conf.py just by scanning the directory. Let me see if simply adding the configuration makes it start working again.

It's working now. Despite the notes over there in the readthedocs account settings about getting email notifications about these changes, I hadn't received any at all.

Thanks, yes, the recent changes are visible now e.g. https://avisynthplus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/avisynthdoc/syntax/syntax_control_structures.html and https://avisynthplus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/avisynthdoc/changelist374.html
