Check out the new navigation at

the right or simply go to top.
I'm not sure this is an improvement, functionally. Finding the
right item in much faster when you can see all items at once,
and not lined up on only one direction. Also, Ctrl+F was more
likely to find the link to the correct item before than now
(and if you used your browser's inline search feature, then you
could activate that link by pressing Enter).
I think some kind of outline would be more useful.
What happened with Ddox? This looks like an improvement in both
function and aesthetics:

Agreed. Sorry Andrei but this is not an improvement for
usability. It disables being able to search the index via page
search (Ctrl-F). Also i thought combobox navigation died out in
the 90's!?
Seriously though, the navigation needs to be available no matter
where you are on the page. For me this is a huge step backwards,
you've effectively hidden the navigation and introduced a
dependency on javascript.
Is there any chance some money can be spent to employ a good web
developer to develop a nice user friendly site? IMHO the website
really lets D down and to be honest looks very amateurish.
