817 * ``docs/api/``: API reference material for client-developers
818 * ``docs/ref/``: reference material for all groups
819 * ``docs/howto/``: for component-developers and core-developers
820 * ``docs/peps/``: Python Enhancement Proposals
822 - Moved ``docs/*`` to ``docs/user/``.
823 - Moved ``pysource.dtd``, ``pysource.txt``, ``semantics.txt`` from
824 ``spec/`` to ``docs/dev``.
825 - Moved ``doctree.txt``, ``docutils.dtd``, ``soextblx.dtd``,

840 __ http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/docutils/sandbox/davidg/infrastructure/cvs-reorg.sh?content-type=text/plain&rev=1.5
842 After running the cleanup script:
844 - Added ``docs/index.txt``.
845 - Added a ``.htaccess`` file to the ``web`` module, containing
846 redirects for all old paths to new paths. They'll preserve
847 fragments (the "#name" part of a URL), and won't clutter up the
848 file system, and will correct the URL in the user's browser.
849 - Added ``BUGS.txt``, ``docs/dev/policies.txt``,
850 ``docs/dev/website.txt``, ``docs/dev/release.txt`` from all but
851 the "To Do" list itself in ``docs/dev/todo.txt``.

882 publish_parts, into new publish_programmatically. Extracted
883 settings code to ``Publisher.process_programmatic_settings``.
884 - In Publisher.publish, disabled ``settings_overrides`` when
885 ``settings`` is supplied; redundant.
887 * docutils/frontend.py:

917 and figure content is centered.
918 - Rowspan support for tables.
919 - Fix: admonition titles before first section.
920 - Replace ``--`` in literal by ``-{}-`` because fontencoding T1 has endash.
921 - Replave ``_`` in literal by an underlined blank, because it has the correct
923 - Fix: encode pdfbookmark titles, ``#`` broke pdflatex.
924 - A few unicode replacements, if output_encoding != utf
925 - Add "--graphicx-option".
926 - Indent literal-blocks.
927 - Fix: omit ``\maketitle`` when there is no document title.

1036 method definitions (via ``exec``) to dynamic assignments (via
1037 ``setattr``); thanks to Roman Suzi.
1038 - Encapsulated visitor dynamic assignments in a function; thanks to
1040 - Added indirect_reference_name attribute to the Targetable

1085 Driven in part by a bribe from Frank Siebenlist (thanks!).
1086 - Parser now handles escapes in URIs correctly.
1087 - Made embedded-URIs' reference text omittable. Idea from Beni
1089 - Refactored explicit target processing code.
1090 - Added name attribute to references containing the reference name only
1091 through whitespace_normalize_name (no case changes).
1092 - parse_target no longer returns the refname after going through

1097 roles.py module. Contributed by Edward Loper.

1111 - Beefed up directive error reporting.
1113 * docutils/parsers/rst/directives/body.py:

1121 through whitespace_normalize_name (no case changes).
1123 * docutils/parsers/rst/directives/misc.py:
1125 - Isolated the import of the ``urllib2`` module; was causing
1126 problems on SourceForge (``libssl.so.2`` unavailable?).
1127 - Added the "role" directive for declaring custom interpreted text

1132 - The "contents" directive does more work up-front, creating the
1133 "topic" and "title", and leaving the "pending" node for the
1134 transform. Allows earlier reference resolution; fixes subtle bug.
1136 * docutils/parsers/rst/languages/af.py: Added to project; Afrikaans
1137 mappings by Jannie Hofmeyr.
1139 * docutils/parsers/rst/languages/cs.py: Added to project; Czech

1151 * docutils/transforms/parts.py:
1153 - The "contents" directive does more work up-front, creating the
1154 "topic" and "title", and leaving the "pending" node for the
1155 transform. Allows earlier reference resolution; fixes subtle bug.
1156 - Added support for disabling of section numbering.
1158 * docutils/transforms/references.py:
1160 - Verifying that external targets are truly targets and not indirect
1161 references. This is because we are now adding a "name" attribute to
1162 references in addition to targets. Note sure if this is correct!
1163 - Added code to hook into the unknown_reference_resolvers list for a
1164 transformer in resolve_indirect_target. This allows the
1165 unknown_reference_resolvers to keep around indirect targets which
1166 docutils doesn't know about.
1167 - Added specific error message for duplicate targets.
1169 * docutils/transforms/universal.py:
1171 - Added FilterMessages transform (removes system messages below the
1172 verbosity threshold).
1173 - Added hook (via docutils.TransformSpec.unknown_reference_resolvers)
1174 to FinalCheckVisitor for application-specific handling of
1175 unresolvable references.
1176 - Added specific error message for duplicate targets.

1189 - Improved table grid/border handling (prompted by report from Bob
1191 - Added support for table titles.
1192 - Added "<title />" for untitled docs, for XHTML conformance; thanks
1194 - Added functionality to keep track of individual parts of a document
1195 and store them in a dictionary as the "parts" attribute of the writer.
1196 Contributed by Reggie Dugard at the Docutils sprint at PyCon DC 2004.
1197 - Added proper support for the "scale" attribute of the "image"
1198 element. Contributed by Brent Cook.
1199 - Added ``--initial-header-level`` option.
1200 - Fixed bug: the body_pre_docinfo segment depended on there being a
1201 docinfo; if no docinfo, the document title was incorporated into
1202 the body segment. Adversely affected the publish_parts interface.
1204 * docutils/writers/latex2e.py:
1206 - Changed default stylesheet to "no stylesheet" to avoid latex complaining
1207 about a missing file.
1208 - Added options and support: ``--compound-enumerators``,
1209 ``--section-prefix-for-enumerators``, and
1210 ``--section-enumerator-separator``. By John F Meinel Jr (SF patch

1213 problematic characters (eg, '~' in italian) in literal blocks.
1214 - It's now possible to use four section levels in the `book` and
1215 `report` LaTeX classes. The default `article` class still has
1218 * docs/config.txt: "Docutils Configuration Files", added to project.
1219 Moved config file entry descriptions from tools.txt.
1223 - Moved config file entry descriptions to config.txt.
1225 * spec/notes.txt: Continual updates. Added "Setting Up For Docutils
1228 * spec/howto/rst-roles.txt: "Creating reStructuredText Interpreted
1229 Text Roles", added to project.
1231 * spec/rst/reStructuredText.txt:
1233 - Added description of support for <angle-bracketed> complex option
1234 arguments to option lists.
1235 - Added subsections for indented and quoted literal blocks.
1237 * test: Continually adding & updating tests.
1239 - Added test/test_settings.py & test/data/config_*.txt support
1241 - Added test/test_writers/test_htmlfragment.py.
1243 * test/DocutilsTestSupport.py:
1245 - Refactored LaTeX publisher test suite/case class names to make
1246 testing other writers easier.
1247 - Added HtmlWriterPublishTestCase and HtmlFragmentTestSuite classes
1248 to test the processing of HTML fragments which use the new
1249 publish_parts convenience function.
1251 * tools/buildhtml.py:
1253 - Added support for the "--prune" option.
1254 - Removed dependency on pep2html.py; plaintext PEPs no longer

1321 - Bumped version to 0.2.9 because of the frontend.py API changes.
1322 - Bumped version to 0.2.10 due to changes to the project layout
1323 (third-party modules removed from the "docutils" package), and
1324 signature changes in ``io.Input``/``io.Output``.

1965 - The word "component" was being used ambiguously. From now on,
1966 "component" will be used to mean "Docutils component", as in Reader,
1967 Writer, Parser, or Transform. Portions of documents (Table of
1968 Contents, sections, etc.) will be called "document parts".

1970 ``very_long_names``.
1971 - Cleaned up imports: no more relative package imports or
1972 comma-separated lists of top-level modules.

1992 ``publish()``; bundled into an option values object. Added
1993 "argv", "usage", "description", and "option_spec" parameters for
1994 command-line support.
