* Support for domains has been added. A domain is a collection of
directives and roles that all describe objects belonging together,
e.g. elements of a programming language. A few builtin domains are
provided:
- Python
- C
- C++
- JavaScript
- reStructuredText
* The old markup for defining and linking to C directives is now
deprecated. It will not work anymore in future versions without
activating the :mod:`~sphinx.ext.oldcmarkup` extension; in Sphinx
1.0, it is activated by default.
* Removed support for old dependency versions; requirements are now:
- docutils >= 0.5
- Jinja2 >= 2.2
* Removed deprecated elements:
- ``exclude_dirs`` config value
- ``sphinx.builder`` module
Features added
--------------
* General:
- Added a "nitpicky" mode that emits warnings for all missing
references. It is activated by the :option:`-n` command-line switch
or the :confval:`nitpicky` config value.
- Added ``latexpdf`` target in quickstart Makefile.
* Markup:
- The :rst:role:`menuselection` and :rst:role:`guilabel` roles now
support ampersand accelerators.
- New more compact doc field syntax is now recognized: ``:param type
name: description``.
- Added ``tab-width`` option to :rst:dir:`literalinclude` directive.
- Added ``titlesonly`` option to :rst:dir:`toctree` directive.
- Added the ``prepend`` and ``append`` options to the
:rst:dir:`literalinclude` directive.
- #284: All docinfo metadata is now put into the document metadata, not
just the author.
- The :rst:role:`ref` role can now also reference tables by caption.
- The :rst:dir:`include` directive now supports absolute paths, which
are interpreted as relative to the source directory.

matching names with any prefix if no direct match is found.

projects, and to specify the project you want to link to.

``__init__`` methods.
- Many improvements and fixes to the :mod:`~sphinx.ext.autosummary`
