===================================
Features added
--------------

CPython and has no place in the main distribution.
Bugs fixed
----------
* Restore ``versionmodified`` CSS class for versionadded/changed and deprecated
directives.
* Fix: `html_theme_path=['.']` is a trigger of rebuild all documents always
(This change keeps the current "theme changes cause a rebuild" feature).
* #1296: Fix invalid charset in HTML help generated HTML files for default
locale.
* PR#190: Fix gettext does not extract figure caption and rubric title inside
other blocks. Thanks to Michael Schlenker.

========================================
Features added
--------------
* The Sphinx error log files will now include a list of the loaded extensions
for help in debugging.
Incompatible changes

and 'sphinxhowto'. Now you can use your custom document class without
'sphinx' prefix. Thanks to Erik B.
Bugs fixed
----------

a named target.
* A wrong condition broke the search feature on first page that is usually

catches UnicodeError and will continue if possible instead of raising the
exception.
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.

combining all modules in a package on one page.
* Builders: rebuild i18n target document when catalog updated.

with files that should be copied directly to the HTML output directory.
* Autodoc directives for module data and attributes now support an
``annotation`` option, so that the default display of the data/attribute
value can be overridden.

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 :confval:`latex_additional_files` now override TeX
files included by Sphinx, such as ``sphinx.sty``.
* PR#124: the node generated by :rst:dir:`versionadded`,
:rst:dir:`versionchanged` and :rst:dir:`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 :rst:dir:`seealso` directive now generates admonition nodes instead
of the custom ``seealso`` node.
Features added
--------------
* Markup
- The :rst:dir:`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 :confval:`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 :confval:`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 :confval:`latex_elements` can be used to control this.
Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev.
- The ``'fontpkg'`` item in :confval:`latex_elements` now defaults to ``''``
when the :confval:`language` uses the Cyrillic script. Suggested by Dmitry
Shachnev.
- The :confval:`latex_documents`, :confval:`texinfo_documents`, and
:confval:`man_pages` configuration values will be set to default values based
on the :confval:`master_doc` if not explicitly set in :file:`conf.py`.
Previously, if these values were not set, no output would be genereted 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``.
* Other builders:
- Added the Docutils-native XML and pseudo-XML builders. See
:class:`XMLBuilder` and :class:`PseudoXMLBuilder`.
- PR#45: The linkcheck builder now checks ``#anchor``\ s for existence.
- PR#123, #1106: Add :confval:`epub_use_index` configuration value. If
provided, it will be used instead of :confval:`html_use_index` for epub
builder.
- PR#126: Add :confval:`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 :confval:`epub_show_urls` configuration value.
* Extensions:
- PR#52: ``special_members`` flag to autodoc now behaves like ``members``.
- PR#47: Added :mod:`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 :option:`-T` for printing the full
traceback after an unhandled exception.
- sphinx-build now supports the standard :option:`--help` and
:option:`--version` options.
- sphinx-build now provides more specific error messages when called with
invalid options or arguments.
- sphinx-build now has a verbose option :option:`-v` which can be repeated for
greater effect. A single occurrance 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.
- PR#28: Added Hungarian translation.
- #1113: Add Hebrew locale.
- #1097: Add Basque locale.
- #1037: Fix typos in Polish translation. Thanks to Jakub Wilk.
- #1012: Update Estonian translation.
* Optimizations:
- Speed up building the search index by caching the results of the word
stemming routines. Saves about 20 seconds when building the Python
documentation.
- PR#108: Add experimental support for parallel building with a new
:option:`-j` option.
