Release 0.6 (Mar 24, 2009)
==========================

New features added
------------------

* Incompatible changes:

  - Templating now requires the Jinja2 library, which is an enhanced
    version of the old Jinja1 engine.  Since the syntax and semantic
    is largely the same, very few fixes should be necessary in
    custom templates.

  - The "document" div tag has been moved out of the ``layout.html``
    template's "document" block, because the closing tag was already
    outside.  If you overwrite this block, you need to remove your
    "document" div tag as well.

  - The ``autodoc_skip_member`` event now also gets to decide
    whether to skip members whose name starts with underscores.
    Previously, these members were always automatically skipped.
    Therefore, if you handle this event, add something like this
    to your event handler to restore the old behavior::

       if name.startswith('_'):
           return True

* Theming support, see the new section in the documentation.

* Markup:

  - Due to popular demand, added a ``:doc:`` role which directly
    links to another document without the need of creating a
    label to which a ``:ref:`` could link to.

  - #4: Added a ``:download:`` role that marks a non-document file
    for inclusion into the HTML output and links to it.

  - Added an ``only`` directive that can selectively include text
    based on enabled "tags".  Tags can be given on the command
    line.  Also, the current builder output format (e.g. "html" or
    "latex") is always a defined tag.

  - #10: Added HTML section numbers, enabled by giving a
    ``:numbered:`` flag to the ``toctree`` directive.

  - #114: Added an ``abbr`` role to markup abbreviations and
    acronyms.

  - The ``literalinclude`` directive now supports several more
    options, to include only parts of a file.

  - The ``toctree`` directive now supports a ``:hidden:`` flag,
    which will prevent links from being generated in place of
    the directive -- this allows you to define your document
    structure, but place the links yourself.

  - #123: The ``glossary`` directive now supports a ``:sorted:``
    flag that sorts glossary entries alphabetically.

  - Paths to images, literal include files and download files
    can now be absolute (like ``/images/foo.png``).  They are
    treated as relative to the top source directory.

  - #52: There is now a ``hlist`` directive, creating a compact
    list by placing distributing items into multiple columns.

  - #77: If a description environment with info field list only
    contains one ``:param:`` entry, no bullet list is generated.

  - #6: Don't generate redundant ``<ul>`` for top-level TOC tree
    items, which leads to a visual separation of TOC entries.

  - #23: Added a ``classmethod`` directive along with ``method``
    and ``staticmethod``.

  - Scaled images now get a link to the unscaled version.

  - SVG images are now supported in HTML (via ``<object>`` and
    ``<embed>`` tags).

  - Added a ``toctree`` callable to the templates, and the ability
    to include external links in toctrees. The 'collapse' keyword
    argument indicates whether or not to only display subitems of
    the current page.  (Defaults to ``True``.)

* Configuration:

  - The new config value ``rst_epilog`` can contain reST that is
    appended to each source file that is read.  This is the right
    place for global substitutions.

  - The new ``html_add_permalinks`` config value can be used to
    switch off the generated "paragraph sign" permalinks for each
    heading and definition environment.

  - The new ``html_show_sourcelink`` config value can be used to
    switch off the links to the reST sources in the sidebar.

  - The default value for ``htmlhelp_basename`` is now the project
    title, cleaned up as a filename.

  - The new ``modindex_common_prefix`` config value can be used to
    ignore certain package names for module index sorting.

  - The new ``trim_footnote_reference_space`` config value mirrors
    the Docutils config value of the same name and removes the
    space before a footnote reference that is necessary for reST
    to recognize the reference.

  - The new ``latex_additional_files`` config value can be used to
    copy files (that Sphinx doesn't copy automatically, e.g. if they
    are referenced in custom LaTeX added in ``latex_elements``) to
    the build directory.

* Builders:

  - The HTML builder now stores a small file named ``.buildinfo`` in
    its output directory.  It stores a hash of config values that
    can be used to determine if a full rebuild needs to be done (e.g.
    after changing ``html_theme``).

  - New builder for Qt help collections, by Antonio Valentino.

  - The new ``DirectoryHTMLBuilder`` (short name ``dirhtml``) creates
    a separate directory for every page, and places the page there
    in a file called ``index.html``.  Therefore, page URLs and links
    don't need to contain ``.html``.

  - The new ``html_link_suffix`` config value can be used to select
    the suffix of generated links between HTML files.

  - #96: The LaTeX builder now supports figures wrapped by text, when
    using the ``figwidth`` option and right/left alignment.

* New translations:

  - Italian by Sandro Dentella.
  - Ukrainian by Petro Sasnyk.
  - Finnish by Jukka Inkeri.
  - Russian by Alexander Smishlajev.

* Extensions and API:

  - New ``graphviz`` extension to embed graphviz graphs.

  - New ``inheritance_diagram`` extension to embed... inheritance
    diagrams!

  - New ``autosummary`` extension that generates summaries of
    modules and automatic documentation of modules.

  - Autodoc now has a reusable Python API, which can be used to
    create custom types of objects to auto-document (e.g. Zope
    interfaces).  See also ``Sphinx.add_autodocumenter()``.

  - Autodoc now handles documented attributes.

  - Autodoc now handles inner classes and their methods.

  - Autodoc can document classes as functions now if explicitly
    marked with ``autofunction``.

  - Autodoc can now exclude single members from documentation
    via the ``exclude-members`` option.

  - Autodoc can now order members either alphabetically (like
    previously) or by member type; configurable either with the
    config value ``autodoc_member_order`` or a ``member-order``
    option per directive.

  - The function ``Sphinx.add_directive()`` now also supports
    Docutils 0.5-style directive classes.  If they inherit from
    ``sphinx.util.compat.Directive``, they also work with
    Docutils 0.4.

  - There is now a ``Sphinx.add_lexer()`` method to be able to use
    custom Pygments lexers easily.

  - There is now ``Sphinx.add_generic_role()`` to mirror the
    Docutils' own function.

* Other changes:

  - Config overrides for single dict keys can now be given on the
    command line.

  - There is now a ``doctest_global_setup`` config value that can
    be used to give setup code for all doctests in the documentation.

  - Source links in HTML are now generated with ``rel="nofollow"``.

  - Quickstart can now generate a Windows ``make.bat`` file.

  - #62: There is now a ``-w`` option for sphinx-build that writes
    warnings to a file, in addition to stderr.

  - There is now a ``-W`` option for sphinx-build that turns warnings
    into errors.
