RTFM: Matt Glaman Publishes Crucial Documentation for Retrofit

Matt Glaman's blog post marks a significant step in the development of Retrofit for Drupal. It provides valuable insights into the supported Drupal 7 hooks and APIs, shedding light on the platform's compatibility and functionality.

Retrofit for Drupal is an essential tool that facilitates the smooth operation of legacy Drupal 7 code within Drupal 10 and beyond. The absence of comprehensive documentation has posed a challenge for users keen to evaluate the compatibility and functionality of Retrofit for Drupal. The new manual published by Matt documents this initiative aiming to eliminate ambiguity by providing valuable insights into the backward compatibility layers, making it easier for users to understand which hooks, APIs, and global variables are supported.

Documentation is often the backbone of open-source projects, and for Retrofit for Drupal, it plays a pivotal role in ensuring that existing code functions seamlessly. The documentation effort addresses the common query of which hooks are supported, offering in-depth information about each supported hook and any associated considerations.

While this documentation is a significant step forward, Matt acknowledges that it does not yet cover all the supported functions, such as database functions or variable-related operations. Nonetheless, this initiative demonstrates Matt Glaman's commitment to enhancing the user experience and clarity in Retrofit for Drupal, with the possibility of future improvements in the documentation process.
