In previous versions these pages were presented and. now they are gone and my users do not know what are the last changes in my library.

Suggest a Fix

There was a piece of code removed in version 1.1.27 that has caused this issue.

Previous code: https://github.com/compodoc/compodoc/blob/86655ee833c50ae4b753a92104e56229c0226152/src/app/application.ts

Configuration.mainData.markdowns.push({
    name: markdowns[i],
    uppername: markdowns[i].toUpperCase(),
    depth: 0,
    pageType: COMPODOC_DEFAULTS.PAGE_TYPES.ROOT
});

It can be fixing adding the missing code again in line 367
