Changes Since 0.9
=================


Release 0.9 (2012-05-02)
========================

* General:

  - New reStructuredText "code" role and directive and "code" option
    of the "include" directive with syntax highlighting by Pygments_.
  - Fix parse_option_marker for option arguments containing ``=``.
  - Fix [ 2993756 ]: import Python Imaging Library's Image module
    via ``import PIL`` as starting with PIL 1.2,
    "PIL lives in the PIL namespace only" (announcement__).

.. _Pygments: http://pygments.org/
__ http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2011-January/006650.html

* setup.py

  - Fix [ 2971827 ] and [ 3442827 ]
    extras/roman.py moved to docutils/utils/roman.py

* docutils/frontend.py

  - Fix [ 3481980 ] Use os.getcwdu() in make_paths_absolute().

* docutils/io.py

  - Fix [ 3395948 ] (Work around encoding problems in Py3k).
  - `mode` argument for FileOutput avoids code replication in
    BinaryFileOutput.
  - New exceptions InputError and OutputError for IO errors in
    FileInput/FileOutput.

* docutils/core.py:

  - No "hard" system exit on file IO errors: catch and report them in
    `Publisher.reportException` instead. Allows handling by a calling
    application if the configuration setting `traceback` is True.

* docutils/utils.py -> docutils/utils/__init__.py

  - docutils.utils is now a package (providing a place for sub-modules)

  .. note:: docutils/math, docutils/error_reporting.py, and
     docutils/urischemes.py will move to the utils package in the next
     release, too. See RELEASE-NOTES__

     __ RELEASE-NOTES.html

  - DependencyList uses io.FileOutput and 'utf8' encoding to prevent
    errors recording non-ASCII filenames (fixes [ 3434355 ]).

  - Fix relative_path() with source=None and `unicode` target.

* docutils/parsers/rst/states.py

  - Change default for `math-output` setting to MathJax.
  - Fix handling of missing stylesheets.

* docutils/writers/docutils_xml.py

  - Use the visitor pattern with default_visit()/default_depart() methods
    instead of minidom to facilitate special handling of selected nodes.
  - Support raw XML (inserted as-is inside a <raw></raw> node).

* docutils/writers/manpage.py

  - Do not emit comment line with trailing blank. Problematic for VCS.

Release 0.8.1 (2011-08-30)
==========================

* General:

    warn and fall back to English.
  - Math support: reStructuredText "math" role and directive,
    ``math`` and ``math_block`` doctree elements.
  - Decode command line arguments with the locale's preferred encoding
    (to allow, e.g., ``--title=Dornröschen``).

    restriction. (A style sheet is now referenced with the ``\usepackage``
    command, if it ends with ``.sty`` or has no extension.)
  - Add ``bp`` to lenghts without unit (prevents LaTex errors).
  - Correctly write length unit ``pt`` as ``bp`` in LaTeX.
  - Do not convert ``px`` to ``pt`` (``px`` is supported by pdfTeX since
    2005-02-04 as a configurable length unit).
  - Do not use fontenc, nor the obsolete 'ae' and 'aeguill' packages
    if font-encoding is set to ''. LaTeX defaults to OT1 then.
  - Set sub- and superscript role argument in text mode not as math.

    only if required in the document.
  - Use the name prefix ``DU`` for all Docutils specific LaTeX macros.
  - New custom environments and commands with optional "classes" argument.

    section numbering by LaTeX.
  - Use default font in admonitions and sidebar.
  - Align of image in a figure defaults to 'center'.
  - Bugfix: Newlines around targets and references prevent run-together
    paragraphs.
  - Fix internal hyperlinks.
  - Use class defaults for page margins ('typearea' now optional).
  - Float placement made configurable, default changed to "here definitely".
  - Typeset generic topic as "quote block with title".
  - Use template (file and configuration option).
  - In the default template, load cmap.sty (fix text extraction in PDF) and
    fixltx2e.sty (LaTeX patches, \textsubscript).
  - Render doctest blocks as literal blocks (fixes [ 1586058 ]).
  - Use `translate` instead of repeated `replace` calls for text encoding.
  - Hyperlinked footnotes and support for symbol footnotes and
    ``--footnote-references=brackets`` with ``--use-latex-footnotes``.
  - Complete pairs of binary options
    (``--figure-footnotes, --figure-citations, --link-stylesheet``,
    ``--use-docutils-toc, --use-docutils-docinfo, --topic-abstract``)
  - New defaults:
    - font-encoding: "T1" (formerly implicitely set by 'ae').
    - use-latex-toc: true (ToC with page numbers).
    - use-latex-footnotes: true (no mixup with figures).

  - Added "--traceback" & "--no-traceback" options ("traceback"
    setting).
  - Implemented support for config file reorganization:
    ``standard_config_files`` moved from ``ConfigParser`` to
    ``OptionParser``; added
    ``OptionParser.get_config_file_settings()`` and
    ``.get_standard_config_settings()``; support for old "[options]"

    exit without tracebacks.  Added ``handle_io_errors`` parameter to
    ``FileInput`` & ``FileOutput`` to enable caller error handling.

* docutils/nodes.py:

  - Changed ``SparseNodeVisitor`` and ``GenericNodeVisitor`` dynamic
    method definitions (via ``exec``) to dynamic assignments (via
    ``setattr``); thanks to Roman Suzi.
  - Encapsulated visitor dynamic assignments in a function; thanks to
    Ian Bicking.
  - Added indirect_reference_name attribute to the Targetable
    class. This attribute holds the whitespace_normalized_name
    (contains mixed case) of a target.

* docutils/statemachine.py:

  Contributed by Edward Loper.

* docutils/parsers/rst/states.py:

  - Updated ``RSTState.nested_parse`` for "include" in table cells.
  - Allowed true em-dash character and "---" as block quote
    attribution marker.
  - Added support for <angle-bracketed> complex option arguments
    (option lists).
  - Fixed handling of backslashes in substitution definitions.
  - Fixed off-by-1 error with extra whitespace after substitution
    definition directive.
  - Added inline markup parsing to field lists' field names.
  - Added support for quoted (and unindented) literal blocks.
    Driven in part by a bribe from Frank Siebenlist (thanks!).
  - Parser now handles escapes in URIs correctly.
  - Made embedded-URIs' reference text omittable.  Idea from Beni
    Cherniavsky.
  - Refactored explicit target processing code.
  - Added name attribute to references containing the reference name only
    through whitespace_normalize_name (no case changes).
  - parse_target no longer returns the refname after going through
    normalize_name. This is now handled in make_target.
  - Fixed bug relating to role-less interpreted text in non-English
    contexts.
  - Reorganized interpreted text processing; moved code into the new
    roles.py module.  Contributed by Edward Loper.

    problems on SourceForge (``libssl.so.2`` unavailable?).
  - Added the "role" directive for declaring custom interpreted text
    roles.

* docutils/parsers/rst/directives/parts.py:

  - The "contents" directive does more work up-front, creating the
    "topic" and "title", and leaving the "pending" node for the
    transform.  Allows earlier reference resolution; fixes subtle bug.

* docutils/parsers/rst/languages/af.py: Added to project; Afrikaans
  mappings by Jannie Hofmeyr.

* docutils/parsers/rst/languages/cs.py: Added to project; Czech
  mappings by Marek Blaha.

* docutils/transforms/references.py:

  - Verifying that external targets are truly targets and not indirect
    references. This is because we are now adding a "name" attribute to
    references in addition to targets. Note sure if this is correct!
  - Added code to hook into the unknown_reference_resolvers list for a
    transformer in resolve_indirect_target. This allows the
    unknown_reference_resolvers to keep around indirect targets which
    docutils doesn't know about.
  - Added specific error message for duplicate targets.

* docutils/transforms/universal.py:

  - Added FilterMessages transform (removes system messages below the
    verbosity threshold).

    to FinalCheckVisitor for application-specific handling of
    unresolvable references.
  - Added specific error message for duplicate targets.

* docutils/writers/__init__.py:

  - Added assemble_parts method to the Writer class to allow for
    access to a documents individual parts.
  - Documented & set default for ``Writer.output`` attribute.

* docutils/writers/html4css1.py:

    Marshall).
  - Added support for table titles.
  - Added "<title />" for untitled docs, for XHTML conformance; thanks
    to Darek Suchojad.

    and store them in a dictionary as the "parts" attribute of the writer.
    Contributed by Reggie Dugard at the Docutils sprint at PyCon DC 2004.
  - Added proper support for the "scale" attribute of the "image"
    element.  Contributed by Brent Cook.
  - Added ``--initial-header-level`` option.
  - Fixed bug: the body_pre_docinfo segment depended on there being a
    docinfo; if no docinfo, the document title was incorporated into
    the body segment.  Adversely affected the publish_parts interface.

* docutils/writers/latex2e.py:

  - Changed default stylesheet to "no stylesheet" to avoid latex complaining
    about a missing file.
  - Added options and support: ``--compound-enumerators``,
    ``--section-prefix-for-enumerators``, and
    ``--section-enumerator-separator``.  By John F Meinel Jr (SF patch
    934322).
  - Added option ``--use-verbatim-when-possible``, to avoid
    problematic characters (eg, '~' in italian) in literal blocks.
  - It's now possible to use four section levels in the `book` and
    `report` LaTeX classes.  The default `article` class still has
    three levels limit.

* test/DocutilsTestSupport.py:

  - Refactored LaTeX publisher test suite/case class names to make
    testing other writers easier.
  - Added HtmlWriterPublishTestCase and HtmlFragmentTestSuite classes
    to test the processing of HTML fragments which use the new
    publish_parts convenience function.

* tools/buildhtml.py:

  - Added support for the "--prune" option.
  - Removed dependency on pep2html.py; plaintext PEPs no longer
    supported.

* tools/docutils.conf:

  - Updated for configuration file reorganization.

Release 0.2 (2002-07-31)
========================

General:

- The word "component" was being used ambiguously.  From now on,
  "component" will be used to mean "Docutils component", as in Reader,
  Writer, Parser, or Transform.  Portions of documents (Table of
  Contents, sections, etc.)  will be called "document parts".
- Did a grand renaming: a lot of ``verylongnames`` became
  ``very_long_names``.
- Cleaned up imports: no more relative package imports or
  comma-separated lists of top-level modules.
- Added support for an option values object which carries default
  settings and overrides (from command-line options and library use).
- Added internal Unicode support, and support for both input and
  output encodings.
- Added support for the ``docutils.io.IO`` class & subclasses.

Specific:

* docutils/__init__.py:

  - Added ``ApplicationError`` and ``DataError``, for use throughout
    the package.
  - Added ``Component`` base class for Docutils components; implements
    the ``supports`` method.

    command-line support.
  - Added ``Publisher.process_command_line()`` and ``.set_options()``
    methods.
  - Reworked I/O model for ``docutils.io`` wrappers.
  - Updated ``Publisher.set_options()``; now returns option values
    object.
  - Added support for configuration files (/etc/docutils.conf,
    ./docutils.conf, ~/.docutils).
  - Added ``Publisher.setup_option_parser()``.
  - Added default usage message and description.

* docutils/frontend.py: Added to project; support for front-end
  (command-line) scripts.  Option specifications may be augmented by

  package, with added option groups and other modifications.  The use
  of this module is probably only temporary.

* docutils/statemachine.py:

  - Added ``runtime_init`` method to ``StateMachine`` and ``State``.
  - Added underscores to improve many awkward names.
