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 :mod:`~sphinx.ext.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:`-n` command-line switch
or the :confval:`nitpicky` config value.
- Added ``latexpdf`` target in quickstart Makefile.
* Markup:
- The :rst:role:`menuselection` and :rst:role:`guilabel` roles now
support ampersand accelerators.
- New more compact doc field syntax is now recognized: ``:param type
name: description``.
- Added ``tab-width`` option to :rst:dir:`literalinclude` directive.
- Added ``titlesonly`` option to :rst:dir:`toctree` directive.
- Added the ``prepend`` and ``append`` options to the
:rst:dir:`literalinclude` directive.
- #284: All docinfo metadata is now put into the document metadata, not
just the author.
- The :rst:role:`ref` role can now also reference tables by caption.
- The :rst:dir:`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 :confval:`rst_prolog` config value.
- Added :confval:`html_secnumber_suffix` config value to control
section numbering format.
- Added :confval:`html_compact_lists` config value to control
docutils' compact lists feature.
- The :confval:`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.
- :confval:`html_static_path` can now contain single file entries.
- The new universal config value :confval:`exclude_patterns` makes the
old :confval:`unused_docs`, :confval:`exclude_trees` and
:confval:`exclude_dirnames` obsolete.
- Added :confval:`html_output_encoding` config value.
- Added the :confval:`latex_docclass` config value and made the
"twoside" documentclass option overridable by "oneside".
- Added the :confval:`trim_doctest_flags` config value, which is true
by default.
- Added :confval:`html_show_copyright` config value.
- Added :confval:`latex_show_pagerefs` and :confval:`latex_show_urls`
config values.
- The behavior of :confval:`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 :confval:`needs_sphinx` config value and
:meth:`~sphinx.application.Sphinx.require_sphinx` application API
method.

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 :confval:`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
:confval:`graphviz_output_format` config value.

Release 0.6 (Mar 24, 2009)
==========================
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 ``
`` 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 ``
