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

* #11415: Add a checksum to JavaScript and CSS asset URIs included within
  generated HTML, using the CRC32 algorithm.
* :meth:`~sphinx.application.Sphinx.require_sphinx` now allows the version
  requirement to be specified as ``(major, minor)``.
* #11011: Allow configuring a line-length limit for object signatures, via

  If the length of the signature (in characters) is greater than the configured

  in ``BuildEnvironment.get_outdated_files``.
* #11437: Top-level headings starting with a reStructuredText role

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

* #7405: Removed the jQuery and underscore.js JavaScript frameworks.

  These frameworks are no longer be automatically injected into themes from
  Sphinx 6.0. If you develop a theme or extension that uses the
  ``jQuery``, ``$``, or ``$u`` global objects, you need to update your
  JavaScript to modern standards, or use the mitigation below.

  The first option is to use the sphinxcontrib.jquery_ extension, which has been
  developed by the Sphinx team and contributors. To use this, add
  ``sphinxcontrib.jquery`` to the ``extensions`` list in ``conf.py``, or call
  ``app.setup_extension("sphinxcontrib.jquery")`` if you develop a Sphinx theme
  or extension.

  The second option is to manually ensure that the frameworks are present.
  To re-add jQuery and underscore.js, you will need to copy ``jquery.js`` and
  ``underscore.js`` from `the Sphinx repository`_ to your ``static`` directory,
  and add the following to your ``layout.html``:

  .. code-block:: html+jinja

     {%- block scripts %}
         <script src="{{ pathto('_static/jquery.js', resource=True) }}"></script>
         <script src="{{ pathto('_static/underscore.js', resource=True) }}"></script>
         {{ super() }}
     {%- endblock %}

  .. _sphinxcontrib.jquery: https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/jquery/

  ``underscore.js`` from `the Sphinx repository`_ to your ``static`` directory,
  and add the following to your ``layout.html``:

  .. _the Sphinx repository: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/tree/v5.3.0/sphinx/themes/basic/static

Release 2.0.0 (released Mar 29, 2019)
=====================================

Dependencies
------------

2.0.0b1

* LaTeX builder now depends on TeX Live 2015 or above.
* LaTeX builder (with ``'pdflatex'`` :confval:`latex_engine`) will process
  Unicode Greek letters in text (not in math mark-up) via the text font and
  will not escape them to math mark-up. See the discussion of the
  ``'fontenc'`` key of :confval:`latex_elements`; such (optional) support for
  Greek adds, for example on Ubuntu xenial, the ``texlive-lang-greek`` and (if
  default font set-up is not modified) ``cm-super(-minimal)`` as additional
  Sphinx LaTeX requirements.
* LaTeX builder with :confval:`latex_engine` set to ``'xelatex'`` or to
  ``'lualatex'`` requires (by default) the ``FreeFont`` fonts,
  which in Ubuntu xenial are provided by package ``fonts-freefont-otf``, and
  e.g. in Fedora 29 via package ``texlive-gnu-freefont``.
* requests 2.5.0 or above
* The six package is no longer a dependency
* The sphinxcontrib-websupport package is no longer a dependency
* Some packages are separated to sub packages:

  - sphinxcontrib.applehelp
  - sphinxcontrib.devhelp
  - sphinxcontrib.htmlhelp
  - sphinxcontrib.jsmath
  - sphinxcontrib.serializinghtml
  - sphinxcontrib.qthelp

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

2.0.0b1

* Drop python 2.7 and 3.4 support
* Drop Docutils 0.11 support
* Drop features and APIs deprecated in 1.7.x
* The default setting for :confval:`master_doc` is changed to ``'index'`` which
  has been longly used as default of sphinx-quickstart.
* LaTeX: Move message resources to ``sphinxmessage.sty``
* LaTeX: Stop using ``\captions<lang>`` macro for some labels
* LaTeX: for ``'xelatex'`` and ``'lualatex'``, use the ``FreeFont`` OpenType
  fonts as default choice (refs: #5645)
* LaTeX: ``'xelatex'`` and ``'lualatex'`` now use ``\small`` in code-blocks
  (due to ``FreeMono`` character width) like ``'pdflatex'`` already did (due
  to ``Courier`` character width).  You may need to adjust this via
  :confval:`latex_elements` ``'fvset'`` key, in case of usage of some other
  OpenType fonts (refs: #5768)
* LaTeX: Greek letters in text are not escaped to math mode mark-up, and they
  will use the text font not the math font. The ``LGR`` font encoding must be
  added to the ``'fontenc'`` key of :confval:`latex_elements` for this to work
  (only if it is needed by the document, of course).
* LaTeX: setting the :confval:`language` to ``'en'`` triggered ``Sonny`` option
  of ``fncychap``, now it is ``Bjarne`` to match case of no language specified.
  (refs: #5772)
* #5770: doctest: Follow :confval:`highlight_language` on highlighting doctest
  block.  As a result, they are highlighted as python3 by default.
* The order of argument for ``HTMLTranslator``, ``HTML5Translator`` and
  ``ManualPageTranslator`` are changed
* LaTeX: hard-coded redefinitions of ``\l@section`` and ``\l@subsection``
  formerly done during loading of ``'manual'`` docclass get executed later, at
  time of ``\sphinxtableofcontents``.  This means that custom user definitions
  from LaTeX preamble now get overwritten.  Use ``\sphinxtableofcontentshook``
  to insert custom user definitions.  See :ref:`latex-macros`.
* quickstart: Simplify generated ``conf.py``
* #4148: quickstart: some questions are removed.  They are still able to specify
  via command line options
* websupport: unbundled from Sphinx core. Please use sphinxcontrib-websupport
* C++, the visibility of base classes is now always rendered as present in the
  input. That is, ``private`` is now shown, where it was ellided before.
* LaTeX: graphics inclusion of oversized images rescales to not exceed
  the text width and height, even if width and/or height option were used.
  (refs: #5956)
* epub: ``epub_title`` defaults to the :confval:`project` option
* #4550: All tables and figures without ``align`` option are displayed to center
* #4587: html: Output HTML5 by default

2.0.0b2

* texinfo: image files are copied into ``name-figure`` directory

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

2.0.0b1

* #1618: The search results preview of generated HTML documentation is
  reader-friendlier: instead of showing the snippets as raw reStructuredText
  markup, Sphinx now renders the corresponding HTML.  This means the Sphinx
  extension `Sphinx: pretty search results`__ is no longer necessary.  Note that
  changes to the search function of your custom or 3rd-party HTML template might
  overwrite this improvement.

  __ https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/sphinx-pretty-searchresults

* #4182: autodoc: Support :confval:`suppress_warnings`

  letters in non-Cyrillic document even with ``'pdflatex'`` as
  :confval:`latex_engine` (refs: #5645)
* #5660: The ``versionadded``, ``versionchanged`` and ``deprecated`` directives
  are now generated with their own specific CSS classes
  (``added``, ``changed`` and ``deprecated``, respectively) in addition to the
  generic ``versionmodified`` class.
* #5841: apidoc: Add --extensions option to sphinx-apidoc
* #4981: C++, added an alias directive for inserting lists of declarations,
  that references existing declarations (e.g., for making a synopsis).

  three or longer a match.
* #4611: epub: Show warning for duplicated ToC entries

  omitted, it follows :rst:dir:`highlight` or :confval:`highlight_language`
* #4587: html: Add :confval:`!html4_writer` to use old HTML4 writer
* #6016: HTML search: A placeholder for the search summary prevents search
  result links from changing their position when the search terminates.  This
  makes navigating search results easier.
* #5196: linkcheck also checks remote images exist
* #5924: githubpages: create CNAME file for custom domains when
  :confval:`html_baseurl` set
* #4261: autosectionlabel: restrict the labeled sections by new config value;

  (fix requires extra set-up, see :confval:`latex_elements` ``'textgreek'`` key
  and/or :confval:`latex_engine` setting)
* #5772: LaTeX: should the Bjarne style of fncychap be used for English also
  if passed as language option?

* #4827: All ``substitution_definition`` nodes are removed from doctree on

* LaTeX: with lualatex or xelatex use by default :program:`xindy` as
  UTF-8 able replacement of :program:`makeindex` (refs: #5134).  After
  upgrading Sphinx, please clean latex build repertory of existing project
  before new build.
* #5163: html: hlist items are now aligned to top

Incompatible changes
--------------------
* Drop ``PorterStemmer`` package support. Use ``PyStemmer`` instead of
  ``PorterStemmer`` to accelerate stemming.
* ``sphinx_rtd_theme`` has become optional. Please install it manually.
  Refs #2087, #2086, #1845 and #2097. Thanks to Victor Zverovich.
* #2231: Use DUrole instead of DUspan for custom roles in LaTeX writer. It
  enables to take title of roles as an argument of custom macros.
* #2022: 'Thumbs.db' and '.DS_Store' are added to ``exclude_patterns`` default
  values in conf.py that will be provided on sphinx-quickstart.
* #2027, #2208: The ``html_title`` accepts string values only. And the ``None``
  value cannot be accepted.
* ``sphinx.ext.graphviz``: show graph image in inline by default

  term node are separated by ``termsep`` node. In new implementation, each terms
  are converted into individual ``term`` nodes and ``termsep`` node is removed.
  By this change, output layout of every builders are changed a bit.
* The default highlight language is now Python 3.  This means that source code
  is highlighted as Python 3 (which is mostly a superset of Python 2), and no
  parsing is attempted to distinguish valid code.  To get the old behavior back,
  add ``highlight_language = "python"`` to conf.py.
* `Locale Date Markup Language
  <https://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-dates.html#Date_Format_Patterns>`_ like
  ``"MMMM dd, YYYY"`` is default format for ``today_fmt`` and

  supported for backward compatibility until Sphinx 1.5. Later format will be
  disabled from Sphinx 1.5.

  instead.

Release 1.2 beta1 (released Mar 31, 2013)
=========================================

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

* Removed ``sphinx.util.compat.directive_dwim()`` and
  ``sphinx.roles.xfileref_role()`` which were deprecated since version 1.0.
* PR#122: the files given in ``latex_additional_files`` now override TeX
  files included by Sphinx, such as ``sphinx.sty``.
* PR#124: the node generated by ``versionadded``,
  ``versionchanged`` and ``deprecated`` directives now includes
  all added markup (such as "New in version X") as child nodes, and no
  additional text must be generated by writers.
* PR#99: the :rst:dir:`seealso` directive now generates admonition nodes instead
  of the custom ``seealso`` node.

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

* Markup

  - The :rst:dir:`toctree` directive and the ``toctree()`` template function now
    have an ``includehidden`` option that includes hidden toctree entries (bugs
    #790 and #1047).  A bug in the ``maxdepth`` option for the ``toctree()``
    template function has been fixed (bug #1046).
  - PR#99: Strip down seealso directives to normal admonitions.  This removes
    their unusual CSS classes (admonition-see-also), inconsistent LaTeX
    admonition title ("See Also" instead of "See also"), and spurious
    indentation in the text builder.

* HTML builder

  - #783: Create a link to full size image if it is scaled with width or height.
  - #1067: Improve the ordering of the JavaScript search results: matches in
    titles come before matches in full text, and object results are better
    categorized.  Also implement a pluggable search scorer.
  - #1053: The "rightsidebar" and "collapsiblesidebar" HTML theme options now
    work together.
  - Update to jQuery 1.7.1 and Underscore.js 1.3.1.

* Texinfo builder

  - An "Index" node is no longer added when there are no entries.
  - "deffn" categories are no longer capitalized if they contain capital
    letters.
  - ``desc_annotation`` nodes are now rendered.
  - ``strong`` and ``emphasis`` nodes are now formatted like
    ``literal``\s. The reason for this is because the standard Texinfo markup
    (``*strong*`` and ``_emphasis_``) resulted in confusing output due to the
    common usage of using these constructs for documenting parameter names.
  - Field lists formatting has been tweaked to better display
    "Info field lists".
  - ``system_message`` and ``problematic`` nodes are now formatted in a similar
    fashion as done by the text builder.
  - "en-dash" and "em-dash" conversion of hyphens is no longer performed in
    option directive signatures.
  - ``@ref`` is now used instead of ``@pxref`` for cross-references which
    prevents the word "see" from being added before the link (does not affect
    the Info output).
  - The ``@finalout`` command has been added for better TeX output.
  - ``transition`` nodes are now formatted using underscores ("_") instead of
    asterisks ("*").
  - The default value for the ``paragraphindent`` has been changed from 2 to 0
    meaning that paragraphs are no longer indented by default.
  - #1110: A new configuration value ``texinfo_no_detailmenu`` has been
    added for controlling whether a ``@detailmenu`` is added in the "Top"
    node's menu.
  - Detailed menus are no longer created except for the "Top" node.
  - Fixed an issue where duplicate domain indices would result in invalid
    output.

* LaTeX builder:

  - PR#115: Add ``'transition'`` item in ``latex_elements`` for
    customizing how transitions are displayed. Thanks to Jeff Klukas.
  - PR#114: The LaTeX writer now includes the "cmap" package by default. The
    ``'cmappkg'`` item in ``latex_elements`` can be used to control this.
    Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev.
  - The ``'fontpkg'`` item in ``latex_elements`` now defaults to ``''``
    when the :confval:`language` uses the Cyrillic script.  Suggested by Dmitry
    Shachnev.
  - The ``latex_documents``, ``texinfo_documents``, and
    ``man_pages`` configuration values will be set to default values based
    on the :confval:`master_doc` if not explicitly set in :file:`conf.py`.
    Previously, if these values were not set, no output would be generated by
    their respective builders.

* Internationalization:

  - Add i18n capabilities for custom templates.  For example: The Sphinx
    reference documentation in doc directory provides a ``sphinx.pot`` file with
    message strings from ``doc/_templates/*.html`` when using ``make gettext``.

  - PR#61,#703: Add support for non-ASCII filename handling.

* Other builders:

  - Added the Docutils-native XML and pseudo-XML builders.  See
    :class:`~sphinx.builders.xml.XMLBuilder` and
    :class:`~sphinx.builders.xml.PseudoXMLBuilder`.
  - PR#45: The linkcheck builder now checks ``#anchor``\ s for existence.
  - PR#123, #1106: Add ``epub_use_index`` configuration value.  If
    provided, it will be used instead of ``html_use_index`` for epub
    builder.

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``.

    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

============================

* #135: Fix problems with LaTeX output and the graphviz extension.

* #132: Include the autosummary "module" template in the distribution.


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 ``<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 :dudir:`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
    * Roger Demetrescu -- Brazilian Portuguese
    * Rok Garbas -- Slovenian

  - 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.

* Remove the silly restriction on "rubric" in the LaTeX writer: you
  can now write arbitrary "rubric" directives, and only those with
  a title of "Footnotes" will be ignored.

* Copy the HTML logo to the output ``_static`` directory.

* Fix LaTeX code for modules with underscores in names and platforms.

* Fix a crash with nonlocal image URIs.

* Allow the usage of :noindex: in ``automodule`` directives, as
  documented.

* Fix the ``delete()`` docstring processor function in autodoc.

* Fix warning message for nonexisting images.

* Fix JavaScript search in Internet Explorer.


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's 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.

Thanks to Jacob Kaplan-Moss, Talin, Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven and Sebastian
Wiesner for suggestions.

Bugs fixed
----------

* sphinx.ext.autodoc: Don't check ``__module__`` for explicitly given
  members.  Remove "self" in class constructor argument list.

* sphinx.htmlwriter: Don't use os.path for joining image HREFs.

* sphinx.htmlwriter: Don't use SmartyPants for HTML attribute values.

* sphinx.latexwriter: Implement option lists.  Also, some other changes
  were made to ``sphinx.sty`` in order to enhance compatibility and
  remove old unused stuff.  Thanks to Gael Varoquaux for that!

* sphinx.roles: Fix referencing glossary terms with explicit targets.

* sphinx.environment: Don't swallow TOC entries when resolving subtrees.

* sphinx.quickstart: Create a sensible default latex_documents setting.

* sphinx.builder, sphinx.environment: Gracefully handle some user error
  cases.

* sphinx.quickstart: Fix format string for Makefile.


Release 0.1.61945 (Mar 26, 2008)
================================

* 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

* 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.

  files (under ``_sources``) as input files if the source suffix is
  ``.txt``.

* sphinx.highlighting: Generate correct markup for LaTeX Verbatim

* 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.
