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

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

* Added ``sphinx.version_info`` tuple for programmatic checking of the Sphinx
  version.

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

  CPython and has no place in the main distribution.

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

* Restore ``versionmodified`` CSS class for versionadded/changed and deprecated
  directives.
* Fix: `html_theme_path=['.']` is a trigger of rebuild all documents always
  (This change keeps the current "theme changes cause a rebuild" feature).

* #1296: Fix invalid charset in HTML help generated HTML files for default
  locale.

* PR#190: Fix gettext does not extract figure caption and rubric title inside
  other blocks. Thanks to Michael Schlenker.

* #1138: Fix: When ``autodoc_docstring_signature = True`` and
  ``autoclass_content = 'init'`` or ``'both'``, __init__ line should be
  removed from class documentation.

Release 1.2 beta3 (released Oct 3, 2013)
========================================

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

* The Sphinx error log files will now include a list of the loaded extensions
  for help in debugging.

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

* PR#154: Remove "sphinx" prefix from LaTeX class name except 'sphinxmanual'
  and 'sphinxhowto'. Now you can use your custom document class without
  'sphinx' prefix. Thanks to Erik B.

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

* #1265: Fix i18n: crash when translating a section name that is pointed to from
  a named target.
* A wrong condition broke the search feature on first page that is usually
  index.rst.  This issue was introduced in 1.2b1.
* #703: When Sphinx can't decode filenames with non-ASCII characters, Sphinx now
  catches UnicodeError and will continue if possible instead of raising the
  exception.

Release 1.2 beta2 (released Sep 17, 2013)
=========================================

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

* ``apidoc`` now ignores "_private" modules by default, and has an option ``-P``
  to include them.
* ``apidoc`` now has an option to not generate headings for packages and
  modules, for the case that the module docstring already includes a reST
  heading.

  combining all modules in a package on one page.
* Builders: rebuild i18n target document when catalog updated.

* The new :confval:`html_extra_path` config value allows to specify directories
  with files that should be copied directly to the HTML output directory.
* Autodoc directives for module data and attributes now support an
  ``annotation`` option, so that the default display of the data/attribute
  value can be overridden.
* PR#136: Autodoc directives now support an ``imported-members`` option to
  include members imported from different modules.
* New locales: Macedonian, Sinhala, Indonesian.
* Theme package collection by using setuptools plugin mechanism.

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 :confval:`latex_additional_files` now override TeX
  files included by Sphinx, such as ``sphinx.sty``.
* PR#124: the node generated by :rst:dir:`versionadded`,
  :rst:dir:`versionchanged` and :rst:dir:`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 :confval:`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 :confval:`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 :confval:`latex_elements` can be used to control this.
    Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev.
  - The ``'fontpkg'`` item in :confval:`latex_elements` now defaults to ``''``
    when the :confval:`language` uses the Cyrillic script.  Suggested by Dmitry
    Shachnev.
  - The :confval:`latex_documents`, :confval:`texinfo_documents`, and
    :confval:`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 genereted 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``.

* Other builders:

  - Added the Docutils-native XML and pseudo-XML builders.  See
    :class:`XMLBuilder` and :class:`PseudoXMLBuilder`.
  - PR#45: The linkcheck builder now checks ``#anchor``\ s for existence.
  - PR#123, #1106: Add :confval:`epub_use_index` configuration value.  If
    provided, it will be used instead of :confval:`html_use_index` for epub
    builder.
  - PR#126: Add :confval:`epub_tocscope` configuration value. The setting
    controls the generation of the epub toc. The user can now also include
    hidden toc entries.
  - PR#112: Add :confval:`epub_show_urls` configuration value.

* Extensions:

  - PR#52: ``special_members`` flag to autodoc now behaves like ``members``.
  - PR#47: Added :mod:`sphinx.ext.linkcode` extension.
  - PR#25: In inheritance diagrams, the first line of the class docstring
    is now the tooltip for the class.

* Command-line interfaces:

  - PR#75: Added ``--follow-links`` option to sphinx-apidoc.
  - #869: sphinx-build now has the option :option:`-T` for printing the full
    traceback after an unhandled exception.
  - sphinx-build now supports the standard :option:`--help` and
    :option:`--version` options.
  - sphinx-build now provides more specific error messages when called with
    invalid options or arguments.
  - sphinx-build now has a verbose option :option:`-v` which can be repeated for
    greater effect.  A single occurrance provides a slightly more verbose output
    than normal.  Two or more occurrences of this option provides more detailed
    output which may be useful for debugging.

* Locales:

  - PR#74: Fix some Russian translation.
  - PR#54: Added Norwegian bokmaal translation.
  - PR#35: Added Slovak translation.
  - PR#28: Added Hungarian translation.
  - #1113: Add Hebrew locale.
  - #1097: Add Basque locale.
  - #1037: Fix typos in Polish translation. Thanks to Jakub Wilk.
  - #1012: Update Estonian translation.

* Optimizations:

  - Speed up building the search index by caching the results of the word
    stemming routines.  Saves about 20 seconds when building the Python
    documentation.
  - PR#108: Add experimental support for parallel building with a new
    :option:`-j` option.

* PR#88: Added the "Sphinx Developer's Guide" (:file:`doc/devguide.rst`)
  which outlines the basic development process of the Sphinx project.
