 | |
| ==========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| New features added
 | |
| ------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Incompatible changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Templating now requires the Jinja2 library, which is an enhanced
 | |
|     version of the old Jinja1 engine.  Since the syntax and semantic
 | |
|     is largely the same, very few fixes should be necessary in
 | |
|     custom templates.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The "document" div tag has been moved out of the ``layout.html``
 | |
|     template's "document" block, because the closing tag was already
 | |
|     outside.  If you overwrite this block, you need to remove your
 | |
|     "document" div tag as well.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The ``autodoc_skip_member`` event now also gets to decide
 | |
|     whether to skip members whose name starts with underscores.
 | |
|     Previously, these members were always automatically skipped.
 | |
|     Therefore, if you handle this event, add something like this
 | |
|     to your event handler to restore the old behavior::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        if name.startswith('_'):
 | |
|            return True
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Theming support, see the new section in the documentation.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Markup:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Due to popular demand, added a ``:doc:`` role which directly
 | |
|     links to another document without the need of creating a
 | |
|     label to which a ``:ref:`` could link to.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - #4: Added a ``:download:`` role that marks a non-document file
 | |
|     for inclusion into the HTML output and links to it.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added an ``only`` directive that can selectively include text
 | |
|     based on enabled "tags".  Tags can be given on the command
 | |
|     line.  Also, the current builder output format (e.g. "html" or
 | |
|     "latex") is always a defined tag.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - #10: Added HTML section numbers, enabled by giving a
 | |
|     ``:numbered:`` flag to the ``toctree`` directive.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - #114: Added an ``abbr`` role to markup abbreviations and
 | |
|     acronyms.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The ``literalinclude`` directive now supports several more
 | |
|     options, to include only parts of a file.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The ``toctree`` directive now supports a ``:hidden:`` flag,
 | |
|     which will prevent links from being generated in place of
 | |
|     the directive -- this allows you to define your document
 | |
|     structure, but place the links yourself.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - #123: The ``glossary`` directive now supports a ``:sorted:``
 | |
|     flag that sorts glossary entries alphabetically.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Paths to images, literal include files and download files
 | |
|     can now be absolute (like ``/images/foo.png``).  They are
 | |
|     treated as relative to the top source directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - #52: There is now a ``hlist`` directive, creating a compact
 | |
|     list by placing distributing items into multiple columns.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - #77: If a description environment with info field list only
 | |
|     contains one ``:param:`` entry, no bullet list is generated.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - #6: Don't generate redundant ``<ul>`` for top-level TOC tree
 | |
|     items, which leads to a visual separation of TOC entries.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - #23: Added a ``classmethod`` directive along with ``method``
 | |
|     and ``staticmethod``.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Scaled images now get a link to the unscaled version.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - SVG images are now supported in HTML (via ``<object>`` and
 | |
|     ``<embed>`` tags).
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added a ``toctree`` callable to the templates, and the ability
 | |
|     to include external links in toctrees. The 'collapse' keyword
 | |
|     argument indicates whether or not to only display subitems of
 | |
|     the current page.  (Defaults to True.)
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Configuration:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new config value ``rst_epilog`` can contain reST that is
 | |
|     appended to each source file that is read.  This is the right
 | |
|     place for global substitutions.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new ``html_add_permalinks`` config value can be used to
 | |
|     switch off the generated "paragraph sign" permalinks for each
 | |
|     heading and definition environment.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new ``html_show_sourcelink`` config value can be used to
 | |
|     switch off the links to the reST sources in the sidebar.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The default value for ``htmlhelp_basename`` is now the project
 | |
|     title, cleaned up as a filename.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new ``modindex_common_prefix`` config value can be used to
 | |
|     ignore certain package names for module index sorting.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new ``trim_footnote_reference_space`` config value mirrors
 | |
|     the docutils config value of the same name and removes the
 | |
|     space before a footnote reference that is necessary for reST
 | |
|     to recognize the reference.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new ``latex_additional_files`` config value can be used to
 | |
|     copy files (that Sphinx doesn't copy automatically, e.g. if they
 | |
|     are referenced in custom LaTeX added in ``latex_elements``) to
 | |
|     the build directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Builders:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The HTML builder now stores a small file named ``.buildinfo`` in
 | |
|     its output directory.  It stores a hash of config values that
 | |
|     can be used to determine if a full rebuild needs to be done (e.g.
 | |
|     after changing ``html_theme``).
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - New builder for Qt help collections, by Antonio Valentino.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new ``DirectoryHTMLBuilder`` (short name ``dirhtml``) creates
 | |
|     a separate directory for every page, and places the page there
 | |
|     in a file called ``index.html``.  Therefore, page URLs and links
 | |
|     don't need to contain ``.html``.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new ``html_link_suffix`` config value can be used to select
 | |
|     the suffix of generated links between HTML files.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - #96: The LaTeX builder now supports figures wrapped by text, when
 | |
|     using the ``figwidth`` option and right/left alignment.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * New translations:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Italian by Sandro Dentella.
 | |
|   - Ukrainian by Petro Sasnyk.
 | |
|   - Finnish by Jukka Inkeri.
 | |
|   - Russian by Alexander Smishlajev.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Extensions and API:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - New ``graphviz`` extension to embed graphviz graphs.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - New ``inheritance_diagram`` extension to embed... inheritance
 | |
|     diagrams!
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - New ``autosummary`` extension that generates summaries of
 | |
|     modules and automatic documentation of modules.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Autodoc now has a reusable Python API, which can be used to
 | |
|     create custom types of objects to auto-document (e.g. Zope
 | |
|     interfaces).  See also ``Sphinx.add_autodocumenter()``.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Autodoc now handles documented attributes.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Autodoc now handles inner classes and their methods.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Autodoc can document classes as functions now if explicitly
 | |
|     marked with `autofunction`.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Autodoc can now exclude single members from documentation
 | |
|     via the ``exclude-members`` option.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Autodoc can now order members either alphabetically (like
 | |
|     previously) or by member type; configurable either with the
 | |
|     config value ``autodoc_member_order`` or a ``member-order``
 | |
|     option per directive.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The function ``Sphinx.add_directive()`` now also supports
 | |
|     docutils 0.5-style directive classes.  If they inherit from
 | |
|     ``sphinx.util.compat.Directive``, they also work with
 | |
|     docutils 0.4.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - There is now a ``Sphinx.add_lexer()`` method to be able to use
 | |
|     custom Pygments lexers easily.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - There is now ``Sphinx.add_generic_role()`` to mirror the
 | |
|     docutils' own function.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Other changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Config overrides for single dict keys can now be given on the
 | |
|     command line.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - There is now a ``doctest_global_setup`` config value that can
 | |
|     be used to give setup code for all doctests in the documentation.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Source links in HTML are now generated with ``rel="nofollow"``.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Quickstart can now generate a Windows ``make.bat`` file.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - #62: There is now a ``-w`` option for sphinx-build that writes
 | |
|     warnings to a file, in addition to stderr.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - There is now a ``-W`` option for sphinx-build that turns warnings
 | |
|     into errors.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Release 0.5.2 (Mar 24, 2009)
 | |
| ============================
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Properly escape ``|`` in LaTeX output.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * #71: If a decoding error occurs in source files, print a
 | |
|   warning and replace the characters by "?".
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix a problem in the HTML search if the index takes too long
 | |
|   to load.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Don't output system messages while resolving, because they
 | |
|   would stay in the doctrees even if keep_warnings is false.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * #82: Determine the correct path for dependencies noted by
 | |
|   docutils.  This fixes behavior where a source with dependent
 | |
|   files was always reported as changed.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Recognize toctree directives that are not on section toplevel,
 | |
|   but within block items, such as tables.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Use a new RFC base URL, since rfc.org seems down.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix a crash in the todolist directive when no todo items are
 | |
|   defined.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Don't call LaTeX or dvipng over and over again if it was not
 | |
|   found once, and use text-only latex as a substitute in that case.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix problems with footnotes in the LaTeX output.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Prevent double hyphens becoming en-dashes in literal code in
 | |
|   the LaTeX output.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Open literalinclude files in universal newline mode to allow
 | |
|   arbitrary newline conventions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Actually make the ``-Q`` option work.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * #86: Fix explicit document titles in toctrees.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * #81: Write environment and search index in a manner that is safe
 | |
|   from exceptions that occur during dumping.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * #80: Fix UnicodeErrors when a locale is set with setlocale().
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Release 0.5.1 (Dec 15, 2008)
 | |
| ============================
 | |
| 
 | |
| * #67: Output warnings about failed doctests in the doctest extension
 | |
|   even when running in quiet mode.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * #72: In pngmath, make it possible to give a full path to LaTeX and
 | |
|   dvipng on Windows.  For that to work, the ``pngmath_latex`` and
 | |
|   ``pngmath_dvipng`` options are no longer split into command and
 | |
|   additional arguments; use ``pngmath_latex_args`` and
 | |
|   ``pngmath_dvipng_args`` to give additional arguments.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Don't crash on failing doctests with non-ASCII characters.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Don't crash on writing status messages and warnings containing
 | |
|   unencodable characters.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Warn if a doctest extension block doesn't contain any code.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix the handling of ``:param:`` and ``:type:`` doc fields when
 | |
|   they contain markup (especially cross-referencing roles).
 | |
| 
 | |
| * #65: Fix storage of depth information for PNGs generated by the
 | |
|   pngmath extension.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix autodoc crash when automethod is used outside a class context.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * #68: Fix LaTeX writer output for images with specified height.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * #60: Fix wrong generated image path when including images in sources
 | |
|   in subdirectories.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix the JavaScript search when html_copy_source is off.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix an indentation problem in autodoc when documenting classes
 | |
|   with the option ``autoclass_content = "both"`` set.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Don't crash on empty index entries, only emit a warning.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix a typo in the search JavaScript code, leading to unusable
 | |
|   search function in some setups.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Release 0.5 (Nov 23, 2008) -- Birthday release!
 | |
| ===============================================
 | |
| 
 | |
| New features added
 | |
| ------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Markup features:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Citations are now global: all citation defined in any file can be
 | |
|     referenced from any file.  Citations are collected in a bibliography
 | |
|     for LaTeX output.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Footnotes are now properly handled in the LaTeX builder: they appear
 | |
|     at the location of the footnote reference in text, not at the end of
 | |
|     a section.  Thanks to Andrew McNamara for the initial patch.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - "System Message" warnings are now automatically removed from the
 | |
|     built documentation, and only written to stderr.  If you want the
 | |
|     old behavior, set the new config value ``keep_warnings`` to True.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Glossary entries are now automatically added to the index.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Figures with captions can now be referred to like section titles,
 | |
|     using the ``:ref:`` role without an explicit link text.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added ``cmember`` role for consistency.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Lists enumerated by letters or roman numerals are now handled like in
 | |
|     standard reST.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The ``seealso`` directive can now also be given arguments, as a short
 | |
|     form.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - You can now document several programs and their options with the
 | |
|     new ``program`` directive.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * HTML output and templates:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Incompatible change: The "root" relation link (top left in the
 | |
|     relbar) now points to the ``master_doc`` by default, no longer to a
 | |
|     document called "index".  The old behavior, while useful in some
 | |
|     situations, was somewhat unexpected.  Override the "rootrellink"
 | |
|     block in the template to customize where it refers to.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The JavaScript search now searches for objects before searching in
 | |
|     the full text.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - TOC tree entries now have CSS classes that make it possible to
 | |
|     style them depending on their depth.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Highlighted code blocks now have CSS classes that make it possible
 | |
|     to style them depending on their language.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - HTML ``<meta>`` tags via the docutils ``meta`` directive are now
 | |
|     supported.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - ``SerializingHTMLBuilder`` was added as new abstract builder that
 | |
|     can be subclassed to serialize build HTML in a specific format.  The
 | |
|     ``PickleHTMLBuilder`` is a concrete subclass of it that uses pickle
 | |
|     as serialization implementation.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - ``JSONHTMLBuilder`` was added as another ``SerializingHTMLBuilder``
 | |
|     subclass that dumps the generated HTML into JSON files for further
 | |
|     processing.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The ``rellinks`` block in the layout template is now called
 | |
|     ``linktags`` to avoid confusion with the relbar links.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The HTML builders have two additional attributes now that can be
 | |
|     used to disable the anchor-link creation after headlines and
 | |
|     definition links.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Only generate a module index if there are some modules in the
 | |
|     documentation.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * New and changed config values:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added support for internationalization in generated text with the
 | |
|     ``language`` and ``locale_dirs`` config values.  Many thanks to
 | |
|     language contributors:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * Horst Gutmann -- German
 | |
|     * Pavel Kosina -- Czech
 | |
|     * David Larlet -- French
 | |
|     * Michał Kandulski -- Polish
 | |
|     * Yasushi Masuda -- Japanese
 | |
|     * Guillem Borrell -- Spanish
 | |
|     * Luc Saffre and Peter Bertels -- Dutch
 | |
|     * Fred Lin -- Traditional Chinese
 | |

 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new config value ``highlight_language`` set a global default for
 | |
|     highlighting.  When ``'python3'`` is selected, console output blocks
 | |
|     are recognized like for ``'python'``.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Exposed Pygments' lexer guessing as a highlight "language" ``guess``.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new config value ``latex_elements`` allows to override all LaTeX
 | |
|     snippets that Sphinx puts into the generated .tex file by default.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added ``exclude_dirnames`` config value that can be used to exclude
 | |
|     e.g. CVS directories from source file search.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added ``source_encoding`` config value to select input encoding.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Extensions:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new extensions ``sphinx.ext.jsmath`` and ``sphinx.ext.pngmath``
 | |
|     provide math support for both HTML and LaTeX builders.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new extension ``sphinx.ext.intersphinx`` half-automatically
 | |
|     creates links to Sphinx documentation of Python objects in other
 | |
|     projects.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new extension ``sphinx.ext.todo`` allows the insertion of
 | |
|     "To do" directives whose visibility in the output can be toggled.
 | |
|     It also adds a directive to compile a list of all todo items.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - sphinx.ext.autodoc has a new event ``autodoc-process-signature``
 | |
|     that allows tuning function signature introspection.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - sphinx.ext.autodoc has a new event ``autodoc-skip-member`` that allows
 | |
|     tuning which members are included in the generated content.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Respect __all__ when autodocumenting module members.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The `automodule` directive now supports the ``synopsis``,
 | |
|     ``deprecated`` and ``platform`` options.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Extension API:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - ``Sphinx.add_node()`` now takes optional visitor methods for the
 | |
|     HTML, LaTeX and text translators; this prevents having to manually
 | |
|     patch the classes.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added ``Sphinx.add_javascript()`` that adds scripts to load in the
 | |
|     default HTML template.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added new events: ``source-read``, ``env-updated``,
 | |
|     ``env-purge-doc``, ``missing-reference``, ``build-finished``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Other changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added a command-line switch ``-Q``: it will suppress warnings.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added a command-line switch ``-A``: it can be used to supply
 | |
|     additional values into the HTML templates.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added a command-line switch ``-C``: if it is given, no configuration
 | |
|     file ``conf.py`` is required.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Added a distutils command `build_sphinx`: When Sphinx is installed,
 | |
|     you can call ``python setup.py build_sphinx`` for projects that have
 | |
|     Sphinx documentation, which will build the docs and place them in
 | |
|     the standard distutils build directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - In quickstart, if the selected root path already contains a Sphinx
 | |
|     project, complain and abort.

| Release 0.4 (Jun 23, 2008)
 | |
| ==========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| New features added
 | |
| ------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``tocdepth`` can be given as a file-wide metadata entry, and
 | |
|   specifies the maximum depth of a TOC of this file.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The new config value `default_role` can be used to select the
 | |
|   default role for all documents.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Sphinx now interprets field lists with fields like ``:param foo:``
 | |
|   in description units.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The new `staticmethod` directive can be used to mark methods as
 | |
|   static methods.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * HTML output:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The "previous" and "next" links have a more logical structure, so
 | |
|     that by following "next" links you can traverse the entire TOC
 | |
|     tree.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new event `html-page-context` can be used to include custom
 | |
|     values into the context used when rendering an HTML template.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Document metadata is now in the default template context, under
 | |
|     the name `metadata`.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new config value `html_favicon` can be used to set a favicon
 | |
|     for the HTML output.  Thanks to Sebastian Wiesner.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new config value `html_use_index` can be used to switch index
 | |
|     generation in HTML documents off.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new config value `html_split_index` can be used to create
 | |
|     separate index pages for each letter, to be used when the complete
 | |
|     index is too large for one page.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new config value `html_short_title` can be used to set a
 | |
|     shorter title for the documentation which is then used in the
 | |
|     navigation bar.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new config value `html_show_sphinx` can be used to control
 | |
|     whether a link to Sphinx is added to the HTML footer.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The new config value `html_file_suffix` can be used to set the
 | |
|     HTML file suffix to e.g. ``.xhtml``.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The directories in the `html_static_path` can now contain
 | |
|     subdirectories.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The module index now isn't collapsed if the number of submodules
 | |
|     is larger than the number of toplevel modules.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The image directive now supports specifying the extension as ``.*``,
 | |
|   which makes the builder select the one that matches best.  Thanks to
 | |
|   Sebastian Wiesner.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The new config value `exclude_trees` can be used to exclude whole
 | |
|   subtrees from the search for source files.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Defaults for configuration values can now be callables, which allows
 | |
|   dynamic defaults.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The new TextBuilder creates plain-text output.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Python 3-style signatures, giving a return annotation via ``->``,
 | |
|   are now supported.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Extensions:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The autodoc extension now offers a much more flexible way to
 | |
|     manipulate docstrings before including them into the output, via
 | |
|     the new `autodoc-process-docstring` event.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The `autodoc` extension accepts signatures for functions, methods
 | |
|     and classes now that override the signature got via introspection
 | |
|     from Python code.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The `autodoc` extension now offers a ``show-inheritance`` option
 | |
|     for autoclass that inserts a list of bases after the signature.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The autodoc directives now support the ``noindex`` flag option.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bugs fixed
 | |
| ----------
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Correctly report the source location for docstrings included with
 | |
|   autodoc.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix the LaTeX output of description units with multiple signatures.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Handle the figure directive in LaTeX output.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Handle raw admonitions in LaTeX output.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix determination of the title in HTML help output.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Handle project names containing spaces.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Don't write SSI-like comments in HTML output.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Rename the "sidebar" class to "sphinxsidebar" in order to stay different
 | |
|   from reST sidebars.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Use a binary TOC in HTML help generation to fix issues links without
 | |
|   explicit anchors.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix behavior of references to functions/methods with an explicit title.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support citation, subscript and superscript nodes in LaTeX writer.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Provide the standard "class" directive as "cssclass"; else it is
 | |
|   shadowed by the Sphinx-defined directive.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix the handling of explicit module names given to autoclass directives.
 | |
|   They now show up with the correct module name in the generated docs.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Enable autodoc to process Unicode docstrings.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The LaTeX writer now translates line blocks with ``\raggedright``,
 | |
|   which plays nicer with tables.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix bug with directories in the HTML builder static path.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Release 0.3 (May 6, 2008)
 | |
| =========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| New features added
 | |
| ------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The ``toctree`` directive now supports a ``glob`` option that allows
 | |
|   glob-style entries in the content.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * If the `pygments_style` config value contains a dot it's treated as the
 | |
|   import path of a custom Pygments style class.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A new config value, `exclude_dirs`, can be used to exclude whole
 | |
|   directories from the search for source files.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The configuration directory (containing ``conf.py``) can now be set
 | |
|   independently from the source directory.  For that, a new command-line
 | |
|   option ``-c`` has been added.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A new directive ``tabularcolumns`` can be used to give a tabular column
 | |
|   specification for LaTeX output.  Tables now use the ``tabulary`` package.
 | |
|   Literal blocks can now be placed in tables, with several caveats.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A new config value, `latex_use_parts`, can be used to enable parts in LaTeX
 | |
|   documents.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Autodoc now skips inherited members for classes, unless you give the
 | |
|   new ``inherited-members`` option.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A new config value, `autoclass_content`, selects if the docstring of the
 | |
|   class' ``__init__`` method is added to the directive's body.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support for C++ class names (in the style ``Class::Function``) in C function
 | |
|   descriptions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support for a ``toctree_only`` item in items for the ``latex_documents``
 | |
|   config value.  This only includes the documents referenced by TOC trees in the
 | |
|   output, not the rest of the file containing the directive.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bugs fixed
 | |
| ----------
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.htmlwriter: Correctly write the TOC file for any structure of the
 | |
|   master document.  Also encode non-ASCII characters as entities in TOC
 | |
|   and index file.  Remove two remaining instances of hard-coded
 | |
|   "documentation".
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.ext.autodoc: descriptors are detected properly now.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.latexwriter: implement all reST admonitions, not just ``note``
 | |
|   and ``warning``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Lots of little fixes to the LaTeX output and style.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix OpenSearch template and make template URL absolute.  The
 | |
|   `html_use_opensearch` config value now must give the base URL.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Some unused files are now stripped from the HTML help file build.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Release 0.2 (Apr 27, 2008)
 | |
| ==========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Incompatible changes
 | |
| --------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Jinja, the template engine used for the default HTML templates, is now
 | |
|   no longer shipped with Sphinx.  If it is not installed automatically for
 | |
|   you (it is now listed as a dependency in ``setup.py``), install it manually
 | |
|   from PyPI.  This will also be needed if you're using Sphinx from a SVN
 | |
|   checkout; in that case please also remove the ``sphinx/jinja`` directory
 | |
|   that may be left over from old revisions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The clumsy handling of the ``index.html`` template was removed.  The config
 | |
|   value ``html_index`` is gone, and ``html_additional_pages`` should be used
 | |
|   instead.  If you need it, the old ``index.html`` template is still there,
 | |
|   called ``defindex.html``, and you can port your html_index template, using
 | |
|   Jinja inheritance, by changing your template::
 | |
| 
 | |
|      {% extends "defindex.html" %}
 | |
|      {% block tables %}
 | |
|      ... old html_index template content ...
 | |
|      {% endblock %}
 | |
| 
 | |
|   and putting ``'index': name of your template`` in ``html_additional_pages``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * In the layout template, redundant ``block``\s were removed; you should use
 | |
|   Jinja's standard ``{{ super() }}`` mechanism instead, as explained in the
 | |
|   (newly written) templating docs.
 | |
| 
 | |
| New features added
 | |
| ------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Extension API (Application object):
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Support a new method, ``add_crossref_type``.  It works like
 | |
|     ``add_description_unit`` but the directive will only create a target
 | |
|     and no output.
 | |
|   - Support a new method, ``add_transform``.  It takes a standard docutils
 | |
|     ``Transform`` subclass which is then applied by Sphinx' reader on
 | |
|     parsing reST document trees.
 | |
|   - Add support for other template engines than Jinja, by adding an
 | |
|     abstraction called a "template bridge".  This class handles rendering
 | |
|     of templates and can be changed using the new configuration value
 | |
|     "template_bridge".
 | |
|   - The config file itself can be an extension (if it provides a ``setup()``
 | |
|     function).
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Markup:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - New directive, ``currentmodule``.  It can be used to indicate the module
 | |
|     name of the following documented things without creating index entries.
 | |
|   - Allow giving a different title to documents in the toctree.
 | |
|   - Allow giving multiple options in a ``cmdoption`` directive.
 | |
|   - Fix display of class members without explicit class name given.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Templates (HTML output):
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - ``index.html`` renamed to ``defindex.html``, see above.
 | |
|   - There's a new config value, ``html_title``, that controls the overall
 | |
|     "title" of the set of Sphinx docs.  It is used instead everywhere instead of
 | |
|     "Projectname vX.Y documentation" now.
 | |
|   - All references to "documentation" in the templates have been removed, so
 | |
|     that it is now easier to use Sphinx for non-documentation documents with
 | |
|     the default templates.
 | |
|   - Templates now have an XHTML doctype, to be consistent with docutils'
 | |
|     HTML output.
 | |
|   - You can now create an OpenSearch description file with the
 | |
|     ``html_use_opensearch`` config value.
 | |
|   - You can now quickly include a logo in the sidebar, using the ``html_logo``
 | |
|     config value.
 | |
|   - There are new blocks in the sidebar, so that you can easily insert content
 | |
|     into the sidebar.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * LaTeX output:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - The ``sphinx.sty`` package was cleaned of unused stuff.
 | |
|   - You can include a logo in the title page with the ``latex_logo`` config
 | |
|     value.
 | |
|   - You can define the link colors and a border and background color for
 | |
|     verbatim environments.

| * sphinx.htmlwriter, sphinx.latexwriter: Support the ``.. image::``
 | |
|   directive by copying image files to the output directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.builder: Consistently name "special" HTML output directories
 | |
|   with a leading underscore; this means ``_sources`` and ``_static``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.environment: Take dependent files into account when collecting
 | |
|   the set of outdated sources.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.directives: Record files included with ``.. literalinclude::``
 | |
|   as dependencies.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.ext.autodoc: Record files from which docstrings are included
 | |
|   as dependencies.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.builder: Rebuild all HTML files in case of a template change.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.builder: Handle unavailability of TOC relations (previous/
 | |
|   next chapter) more gracefully in the HTML builder.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.latexwriter: Include fncychap.sty which doesn't seem to be
 | |
|   very common in TeX distributions.  Add a ``clean`` target in the
 | |
|   latex Makefile.  Really pass the correct paper and size options
 | |
|   to the LaTeX document class.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * setup: On Python 2.4, don't egg-depend on docutils if a docutils is
 | |
|   already installed -- else it will be overwritten.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Release 0.1.61843 (Mar 24, 2008)
 | |
| ================================
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.quickstart: Really don't create a makefile if the user
 | |
|   doesn't want one.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * setup: Don't install scripts twice, via setuptools entry points
 | |
|   and distutils scripts.  Only install via entry points.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.builder: Don't recognize the HTML builder's copied source
 | |
|   files (under ``_sources``) as input files if the source suffix is
 | |
|   ``.txt``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.highlighting: Generate correct markup for LaTeX Verbatim
 | |
|   environment escapes even if Pygments is not installed.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.builder: The WebHTMLBuilder is now called PickleHTMLBuilder.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.htmlwriter: Make parsed-literal blocks work as expected,
 | |
|   not highlighting them via Pygments.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.environment: Don't error out on reading an empty source file.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Release 0.1.61798 (Mar 23, 2008)
 | |
| ================================
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx: Work with docutils SVN snapshots as well as 0.4.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.ext.doctest: Make the group in which doctest blocks are
 | |
|   placed selectable, and default to ``'default'``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.ext.doctest: Replace ``<BLANKLINE>`` in doctest blocks by
 | |
|   real blank lines for presentation output, and remove doctest
 | |
|   options given inline.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.environment: Move doctest_blocks out of block_quotes to
 | |
|   support indented doctest blocks.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.ext.autodoc: Render ``.. automodule::`` docstrings in a
 | |
|   section node, so that module docstrings can contain proper
 | |
|   sectioning.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * sphinx.ext.autodoc: Use the module's encoding for decoding
 | |
|   docstrings, rather than requiring ASCII.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Release 0.1.61611 (Mar 21, 2008)
 | |
| ================================
 | |
| 
 | |
| * First public release.
