## 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.

## 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 `seealso` directive now generates admonition nodes instead of the custom `seealso` node.

### Features added

- Markup
  - The `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 `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 `master_doc` if not explicitly set in `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 `XMLBuilder` and `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.
  - PR#126: Add `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 `epub_show_urls` configuration value.
- Extensions:
  - PR#52: `special_members` flag to autodoc now behaves like `members`.
  - PR#47: Added `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 `-T` for printing the full traceback after an unhandled exception.
  - sphinx-build now supports the standard `--help` and `--version` options.
  - sphinx-build now provides more specific error messages when called with invalid options or arguments.
  - sphinx-build now has a verbose option `-v` which can be repeated for greater effect. A single occurrence 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.

## 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 `sphinx-build -n` command-line switch or the `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 `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 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 `toctree` callable in templates now has a `maxdepth` keyword argument to control the depth of the generated tree.
  - The `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`.
  - Added new theme `agogo`, created by Andi Albrecht.
  - Added new theme `scrolls`, created by Armin Ronacher.
  - #193: Added a `visitedlinkcolor` theme option to the default theme.
  - #322: Improved responsiveness of the search page by loading the search index asynchronously.
- Extension API:
  - Added `html-collect-pages`.
  - Added `needs_sphinx` config value and `require_sphinx()` application API method.
  - #200: Added `add_stylesheet()` application API method.
- Extensions:
  - Added the `viewcode` extension.
  - Added the `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 `autosummary` extension, thanks to Pauli Virtanen.
  - #309: The `graphviz` extension can now output SVG instead of PNG images, controlled by the `graphviz_output_format` config value.
  - Added `alt` option to `graphviz` extension directives.
  - Added `exclude` argument to `autodoc.between()`.
- Translations:
  - Added Croatian translation, thanks to Bojan Mihelač.
  - Added Turkish translation, thanks to Firat Ozgul.
  - Added Catalan translation, thanks to Pau Fernández.
  - Added simplified Chinese translation.
  - Added Danish translation, thanks to Hjorth Larsen.
