Heading for March release notes post

This post was written by Dan Fernandez, Principal Group Program Manager in the Cloud + Enterprise Division.

Check out the latest docs.microsoft.com release notes from March. We published some new documentation, as well as migrated more of the MSDN content over in an effort to make sure you can find all the right documentation in one place.

New Documentation Releases

The following documentation sets are new and now available on docs.microsoft.com:

Contributor Highlights

Every month, we get hundreds of contributions to our documentation from our community. We want to recognize them and make sure that the world knows who helps make Microsoft documentation awesome, so we start by highlighting some of the contributors - every month!

Luke Latham

Luke has been contributing to our documentation for a while, so it's no surprise he made it into the list of top contributors this month. His focus is ASP.NET. In addition to GitHub, Luke can also be found on Twitter.

Content Migrated from MSDN

Need content for older products or services, such as release notes, deployment guides, or how-to articles? Then bookmark this page for a quick list of all the latest content migrated from MSDN and TechNet to docs.microsoft.com. The following article sets were moved over this month:

And this is just the beginning! Not only will we ensure that the content is properly relocated, but also that links point to the new content on docs.microsoft.com automatically - if you catch any broken links, report them and we will try to resolve them as soon as possible.

New Features & Tools

JavaScript API Browser

We want to make sure that no matter what platform you are developing on, finding the right Microsoft API documentation is extremely easy. We've already launched API Browser experiences for Python, PowerShell and .NET, and today we are launching the JavaScript API Browser:

English Overlay Switcher

When reading localized content, it's now easier than ever to make sure that you can get the original version of the content by hovering over the translated text - or you can disable that altogether with the help of the new overlay switcher:

Image Lightbox

Wondering what is the best way to view that high-resolution image that is embedded in an article you are reading? You can now just click on it, and we will display the full resolution image, with a convenient way to zoom in to any part of it with the help of the new lightbox feature:

Scrolling Tables

A table doesn't fit the screen? No problem! You can now scroll through it horizontally!
