Previously, if autodoc_typehints="description", a :type: field would be
added for every parameter and return type appearing in the annotation,
including **kwargs and underscore-prefixed parameters that are meant to
be private, as well as None return types.
This commit introduces a new option, "autodoc_typehint_undoc". By
default this option is True, requesting the old behavior. By setting
this option to False, :type: and :rtype: fields will only be added for
annotated parameters or return types if there is already a corresponding
:param: or :return: field, to put users in control over whether a given
parameter is documented or not.
Add a new extension `sphinx.ext.autodoc.preserve_defaults`.
It preserves the default argument values of function signatures in source code
and keep them not evaluated for readability. This is an experimental
extension and it will be integrated into autodoc core in Sphinx-4.0.
Add a new config variable: python_use_unqualified_type_names. If enabled,
it goes to suppress the module name of the python reference if it can be
resolved.
To describe the purpose more accurately, the `master_doc` is now renamed
to `root_doc`. The old name is still available. But it is recommeneded
to use new one from now on.
As discussed in #7879, the default style of line numbers for code
blocks in HTML output becames 'inline' by default. And 'table' style
is now deprecated and will be removed in Sphinx-6.0.
Add new configuration variables: `html_permalinks` and
`html_permalinks_icon`.
This refines the settings around HTML permalinks.
* html_add_permalinks
* Deprecated.
* html_permalinks
* Enable or disable permalinks feature.
* html_permalinks_icon
* Change the icon for permalinks
This replaces times package with tgtermes and tgheros (clones of Times and
Helvetica with better LaTeX support) and the monospace font from txfonts
package (txtt). This font is better matched with Times-like fonts than
Courier clones.
The changes applies to pdflatex/platex/uplatex.
Fixes: #8711
