This task generates build related metadata for the library based on doc annotations. Since it is about more than writing out exportable symbols, it makes sense to have a more general name.
Previously, ol.geom.Polygon was a transitive dependency of ol.proj (since ol.proj requires ol.sphere.NORMAL, and all spheres were capable of generating circular polygons). Instead, ol.proj should be lower-level. Since it deals only with coordinate arrays, it shouldn't depend on all of the geometry code.
By adding a static `circular` function to `ol.geom.Polygon`, the dependency tree makes more sense. If you want to create a polygon that approximates a circle on a sphere, you require `ol.geom.Polygon` and `ol.Sphere` (or one of the constants).
This makes room for geometries to have a `transform` method that takes projection-like arguments (meaning that `ol.geom.Geometry` will require `ol.proj`).
This gives more consistency with ol.proj.applyTransform, allowing us to add a more convenient ol.extent.transform method that takes projection-like arguments.
Since async and htmlparser2 are used by the postinstall task, they need to be listed as dependencies. These will get installed when ol3 is a dependency of another project.
With this change, the only two remaining generated scripts are build/exports.js and build/test/requireall.js. Both are only required by Plovr. With the Node based build task, a temporary exports.js file is created. The Node based server can be used to run the tests without build/test/requireall.js.
Because ol.proj.EPSG4326 et al. extend ol.proj.Projection which has exportable methods, these constructors need to be exportable as well (e.g. so ol.proj.EPSG4326.prototype is defined in exports.js when calling goog.exportProperty on getCode etc.). If we really don't want these to be exportable, they should be removed or made private (and named like ol.proj.EPSG4326_) for internal use only.
This change adds a stability value to the api annotation, with
'experimental' as default value.
enum, typedef and event annotations are never exportable, but
api annotations are needed there to make them appear in the
docs.
Nested typedefs are no longer inlined recursively, because the
resulting tables get too wide with the current template.
