Release 1.0 (Jul 23, 2010)
==========================

Incompatible changes
--------------------

* Support for domains has been added.  A domain is a collection of
  directives and roles that all describe objects belonging together,
  e.g. elements of a programming language.  A few builtin domains are
  provided:

  - Python
  - C
  - C++
  - JavaScript
  - reStructuredText

* The old markup for defining and linking to C directives is now
  deprecated.  It will not work anymore in future versions without
  activating the ``oldcmarkup`` extension; in Sphinx
  1.0, it is activated by default.

* Removed support for old dependency versions; requirements are now:

  - Docutils >= 0.5
  - Jinja2   >= 2.2

* Removed deprecated elements:

  - ``exclude_dirs`` config value
  - ``sphinx.builder`` module

Features added
--------------

* General:

  - Added a "nitpicky" mode that emits warnings for all missing
    references.  It is activated by the :option:`sphinx-build -n` command-line
    switch or the :confval:`nitpicky` config value.
  - Added ``latexpdf`` target in quickstart Makefile.

* Markup:

  - The ``menuselection`` and ``guilabel`` roles now
    support ampersand accelerators.
  - New more compact doc field syntax is now recognized: ``:param type
    name: description``.
  - Added ``tab-width`` option to ``literalinclude`` directive.
  - Added ``titlesonly`` option to :rst:dir:`toctree` directive.
  - Added the ``prepend`` and ``append`` options to the
    ``literalinclude`` directive.
  - #284: All docinfo metadata is now put into the document metadata, not
    just the author.
  - The ``ref`` role can now also reference tables by caption.
  - The :dudir:`include` directive now supports absolute paths, which
    are interpreted as relative to the source directory.
  - In the Python domain, references like ``:func:`.name``` now look for
    matching names with any prefix if no direct match is found.

* Configuration:

  - Added ``rst_prolog`` config value.
  - Added ``html_secnumber_suffix`` config value to control
    section numbering format.
  - Added ``html_compact_lists`` config value to control
    Docutils' compact lists feature.
  - The ``html_sidebars`` config value can now contain patterns
    as keys, and the values can be lists that explicitly select which
    sidebar templates should be rendered.  That means that the builtin
    sidebar contents can be included only selectively.
  - ``html_static_path`` can now contain single file entries.
  - The new universal config value ``exclude_patterns`` makes the
    old ``unused_docs``, ``exclude_trees`` and
    ``exclude_dirnames`` obsolete.
  - Added ``html_output_encoding`` config value.
  - Added the ``latex_docclass`` config value and made the
    "twoside" documentclass option overridable by "oneside".
  - Added the ``trim_doctest_flags`` config value, which is true
    by default.
  - Added ``html_show_copyright`` config value.
  - Added ``latex_show_pagerefs``` and ``latex_show_urls``
    config values.
  - The behavior of ``html_file_suffix``` changed slightly: the
    empty string now means "no suffix" instead of "default suffix", use
    ``None`` for "default suffix".

* New builders:

  - Added a builder for the Epub format.
  - Added a builder for manual pages.
  - Added a single-file HTML builder.

* HTML output:

  - Inline roles now get a CSS class with their name, allowing styles to
    customize their appearance.  Domain-specific roles get two classes,
    ``domain`` and ``domain-rolename``.
  - References now get the class ``internal`` if they are internal to
    the whole project, as opposed to internal to the current page.
  - External references can be styled differently with the new
    ``externalrefs`` theme option for the default theme.
  - In the default theme, the sidebar can experimentally now be made
    collapsible using the new ``collapsiblesidebar`` theme option.
  - #129: Toctrees are now wrapped in a ``div`` tag with class
    ``toctree-wrapper`` in HTML output.
  - The :data:`toctree` callable in templates now has a ``maxdepth``
    keyword argument to control the depth of the generated tree.
  - The :data:`toctree` callable in templates now accepts a
    ``titles_only`` keyword argument.
  - Added ``htmltitle`` block in layout template.
  - In the JavaScript search, allow searching for object names including
    the module name, like ``sys.argv``.
  - Added new theme ``haiku``, inspired by the Haiku OS user guide.
  - Added new theme ``nature``.
  - Added new theme ``agogo``, created by Andi Albrecht.
  - Added new theme ``scrolls``, created by Armin Ronacher.
  - #193: Added a ``visitedlinkcolor`` theme option to the default
    theme.
  - #322: Improved responsiveness of the search page by loading the
    search index asynchronously.

* Extension API:

  - Added :event:`html-collect-pages`.
  - Added ``needs_sphinx`` config value and
    :meth:`~sphinx.application.Sphinx.require_sphinx` application API
    method.
  - #200: Added :meth:`!add_stylesheet`
    application API method.

* Extensions:

  - Added the :mod:`~sphinx.ext.viewcode` extension.
  - Added the :mod:`~sphinx.ext.extlinks` extension.
  - Added support for source ordering of members in autodoc, with
    ``autodoc_member_order = 'bysource'``.
  - Added ``autodoc_default_flags`` config value, which can be
    used to select default flags for all autodoc directives.
  - Added a way for intersphinx to refer to named labels in other
    projects, and to specify the project you want to link to.
  - #280: Autodoc can now document instance attributes assigned in
    ``__init__`` methods.
  - Many improvements and fixes to the :mod:`~sphinx.ext.autosummary`
    extension, thanks to Pauli Virtanen.
  - #309: The :mod:`~sphinx.ext.graphviz` extension can now output SVG
    instead of PNG images, controlled by the
    ``graphviz_output_format`` config value.
  - Added ``alt`` option to :rst:dir:`graphviz` extension directives.
  - Added ``exclude`` argument to :func:`.autodoc.between`.

    "striptags" Jinja filter.
