23 - Updated build system to use Flit_ (patch #186 by Adam Turner).
25 - Provide ``rst2*`` "console_scripts" `entry points`_
26 (without the ``.py`` extension) instead of installing the
27 ``rst2*.py`` front end tools in the binary PATH.
29 .. _Flit: https://github.com/pypa/flit/
31 * docs/ref/docutils.dtd
33 - The <image> element accepts a new attribute "loading".
35 - Fix definitions (no change to actual behaviour):

43 argument but keep the legacy interface for use with optparse.
44 - New function `frontend.validate_math_output()`.
48 - Simpler and more secure `input encoding`_ default behaviour:
50 Do not use the locale encoding as fallback if Python is started in
51 `UTF-8 mode`_. Stop using "latin1" as second fallback.
53 Remove BOM (U+FEFF ZWNBSP at start of data) only if the "input_encoding"
54 configuration setting is None, '', 'utf-8-sig', 'utf-16', or 'utf-32'.
55 Do not remove other ZWNBSPs.

1633 - docutils.utils is now a package (providing a place for sub-modules)

1971 - Correctly write length unit ``pt`` as ``bp`` in LaTeX.

2831 * ``docs/api/``: API reference material for client-developers
2832 * ``docs/ref/``: reference material for all groups
2833 * ``docs/howto/``: for component-developers and core-developers
2834 * ``docs/peps/``: Python Enhancement Proposals
2836 - Moved ``docs/*`` to ``docs/user/``.
2837 - Moved ``pysource.dtd``, ``pysource.txt``, ``semantics.txt`` from
2838 ``spec/`` to ``docs/dev``.

2855 - Added ``docs/index.txt``.
2856 - Added a ``.htaccess`` file to the ``web`` module, containing
2857 redirects for all old paths to new paths. They'll preserve

2932 - Replave ``_`` in literal by an underlined blank, because it has the correct
2934 - Fix: encode pdfbookmark titles, ``#`` broke pdflatex.
2935 - A few unicode replacements, if output_encoding != utf
2936 - Add `graphicx_option`_ setting.
2937 - Indent literal-blocks.

3144 transform. Allows earlier reference resolution; fixes subtle bug.
3146 * docutils/parsers/rst/languages/af.py: Added to project; Afrikaans
3147 mappings by Jannie Hofmeyr.

3168 * docutils/transforms/references.py:
3170 - Verifying that external targets are truly targets and not indirect
3171 references. This is because we are now adding a "name" attribute to
3172 references in addition to targets. Note sure if this is correct!
3173 - Added code to hook into the unknown_reference_resolvers list for a
3174 transformer in resolve_indirect_target. This allows the
3175 unknown_reference_resolvers to keep around indirect targets which
3176 docutils doesn't know about.
3177 - Added specific error message for duplicate targets.
3179 * docutils/transforms/universal.py:
3181 - Added FilterMessages transform (removes system messages below the
3182 verbosity threshold).

3184 to FinalCheckVisitor for application-specific handling of
3185 unresolvable references.

3202 - Added "<title />" for untitled docs, for XHTML conformance; thanks
3204 - Added functionality to keep track of individual parts of a document
3205 and store them in a dictionary as the "parts" attribute of the writer.
3206 Contributed by Reggie Dugard at the Docutils sprint at PyCon DC 2004.
3207 - Added proper support for the "scale" attribute of the "image"
3208 element. Contributed by Brent Cook.
3209 - Added ``--initial-header-level`` option.
3210 - Fixed bug: the body_pre_docinfo segment depended on there being a
3211 docinfo; if no docinfo, the document title was incorporated into
3212 the body segment. Adversely affected the publish_parts interface.
3214 * docutils/writers/latex2e.py:
3216 - Changed default stylesheet to "no stylesheet" to avoid latex complaining
3217 about a missing file.
3218 - Added options and support: ``--compound-enumerators``,

3220 ``--section-enumerator-separator``. By John F Meinel Jr (SF patch

3223 problematic characters (eg, '~' in italian) in literal blocks.
3224 - It's now possible to use four section levels in the `book` and
3225 `report` LaTeX document classes. The default `article` class still has

3239 Text Roles", added to project.
3241 * spec/rst/reStructuredText.txt:
3243 - Added description of support for <angle-bracketed> complex option
3244 arguments to option lists.
3245 - Added subsections for indented and quoted literal blocks.
3247 * test: Continually adding & updating tests.
3249 - Added test/test_settings.py & test/data/config_*.txt support

3256 testing other writers easier.
3257 - Added HtmlWriterPublishTestCase and HtmlFragmentTestSuite classes
3258 to test the processing of HTML fragments which use the new

3975 - The word "component" was being used ambiguously. From now on,
3976 "component" will be used to mean "Docutils component", as in Reader,
3977 Writer, Parser, or Transform. Portions of documents (Table of

3979 - Did a grand renaming: a lot of ``verylongnames`` became
3980 ``very_long_names``.
3981 - Cleaned up imports: no more relative package imports or
3982 comma-separated lists of top-level modules.
3983 - Added support for an option values object which carries default

4002 ``publish()``; bundled into an option values object. Added
4003 "argv", "usage", "description", and "option_spec" parameters for
4004 command-line support.

4013 - Added default usage message and description.

4038 ``explicit_targets`` and ``implicit_targets`` attributes, added
4039 ``nametypes`` attribute and ``set_name_id_map`` method.
4040 - Added ``NodeFound`` exception, for use with ``NodeVisitor``
