Hi all, I'm very happy to announce the release of Sphinx 1.4-alpha1 available on the Python package index at <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Sphinx/1.4a1>. This is the first testing release for Sphinx 1.4 that includes: * 31 features * 10 incompatible changes * 20 fixes of bugs/buglets from the 1.3.5 version of Sphinx
For the full changelog, go to < http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html>. Thanks to all coraborators and contributers! What's new in 1.4 (very short version)? ======================================= Features added -------------- * Directive: glossary term supports grouping key for index entries by using classifier syntax (experimental) * Directive: Support Imgmath (pngmath with svg support). * Builder: XeTeX and LuaTeX for the LaTeX builder. * Builder: Add the ``dummy`` builder: syntax check without output. * Builder: Add EPUB 3 builder (experimental) * Search: Chinese language search index. * Search: Japanese language search index by using Janome * Search: splitter customization for Japanese language search index * Domain: cpp domain improvements * Ext: Add sphinx.ext.githubpages to publish the docs on GitHub Pages * Ext: Add ``sphinx.ext.autosectionlabel`` extension to allow reference sections using its title. * API: Add Sphinx.add_source_parser() to add source_suffix and source_parsers from extension * Image recognition by using ``imagesize`` package w/o PIL/Pillow Incompatible changes -------------------- * sphinx_rtd_theme has become optional. Please install it manually. * :confval:`html_extra_path` also copies dotfiles in the extra directory, and refers to :confval:`exclude_patterns` to exclude extra files and directories. * Under glossary directive, each terms are converted into individual ``term`` nodes and ``termsep`` node is removed. By this change, output layout of every builders are changed a bit. * The default highlight language is now Python 3. This means that source code is highlighted as Python 3 (which is mostly a superset of Python 2), and no parsing is attempted to distinguish valid code. * `Locale Date Markup Language <http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-dates.html#Date_Format_Patterns>`_ like ``"MMMM dd, YYYY"`` is default forma for `today_fmt` and `html_last_updated_fmt`. However strftime format like ``"%B %d, %Y"`` is also supported for backward compatibility until Sphinx-1.5. Later format will be disabled from Sphinx-1.5. What is it? =========== Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful documentation for Python projects (or other documents consisting of multiple reStructuredText source files).
