ChangeLog

Next version (not released yet)

  * Parse identifiers declared as &xxx, where "xxx" may be a reserved word.
  * Possibility to specify additional files using -A or --additional
    (just like introduction or conclusion, but you can provide any number
    of items) (thanks to Alex Merkel)
  * Added de.utf8 (German with UTF-8 encoding)
  * Automatically remove %region and %endregion from comments
  * Show visibility (public, protected, private...) inside records too
    (it is meanigful for advanced records)
  * Implement in pasdoc_gui options to
    - customize HTML head and body
    - set external descriptions file
    - configure identifiers excluded from auto-linking
  * Rename "internal" to "nested" to describe this language feature.
    Because that is how it's called in official docs
    ( http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Tokyo/en/Nested_Type_Declarations,
      https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse41.html )
    and the "internal" word has traditionally different meaning
    ("something not supposed to be visible/used from the outside").
  * The automatic tests are now easier to run and check (see tests/README.md).
  * @raises and @param is not supported at properties as well as methods.
    (Actually, it's supported at everything now,
    but it makes sense only at properties and methods now.)
  * Tipue (client-side search, see https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/UseTipueSearchOption )
    was much improved:
    - we have upgraded to use Tipue 6.1, which highlights the found terms
    - we strip HTML from Tipue index, which makes the "search results" page correct
  * Fix handling SVN fixed-length $Date::
  * Parsing of $if and $elseif expressions,
    like "defined(MSWINDOWS) or defined(UNIX)"

2018-02-08 v0.15.0

  * @links to enumerated type members work now.
  * New @includeCode tag https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/IncludeCodeTag
    (by Silvio Clécio)
  * @longCode and @preformatted improved to better honor indentation.
  * parsing "experimental" directive.
  * Allow to customize HTML output more, with your own CSS and HTML, by
    --html-head, --html-body-begin, --html-body-end command-line params.
  * HTML output is now HTML5.
  * Add our tools to the binary release: pascal_pre_proc (Pascal preprocessor),
    file_to_pascal_data, file_to_pascal_string.
  * Improve CSS and HTML, in particular for accessibility and mobile browsers.
    Among many improvements, we removed fixed font size in pixels,
    changed some tables into divs, and fixed HTML validity around Tipue search box.
  * pasdoc_gui uses now default font size on your system.
  * Updated Spanish (Spain) translation (by Guillermo Martínez Jiménez)
  * Tipue works now more efficiently -- the (potentially large) "index data"
    is only loaded on the "Search Results" page.
  * Automatic tests rearrangements and simplifications (see tests/run_all_tests.sh).

  Authors: Michalis Kamburelis and contributors mentioned above (thank you!).

  * Many fixes to parsing "deprecated", "platform", "library" directives.
  * simplexml output fixes (by Denis Grinyuk)
  * The document creation time is not printed in the docs by default.
    Use "--include-creation-time" to show it.
    --include-creation-time is orthogonal to --exclude-generator.

    Use "--verbosity 3" to show it.
  * Brazilian utf8 translation (by Alexsander da Rosa)

  * Cache files get version markers (closes: #3101524)

2010-10-31 v0.12.0

  * Class Hierarchy diagrams are more complete, because PasDoc knows
    about hierarchy of the standard ObjectPascal classes.
    You can also extend this by --external-class-hierarchy= option.
    See [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/ExternalClassHierarchy] (by Michalis)
  * Support for Delphi Unicode compilers,
    improve processing speed by using TBufferedStream,
    parsing some new Delphi features (like "deprecated 'string'")
    (by Arno Garrels)
  * Many improvements to pasdoc_gui:
    * Better adjusts to various themes and font sizes, on all platforms
    * More intuitive UI: "Generate" button on the left,
      "Output directory" on the "Options" tab and filled by default
      with temp directory, and more.
    * xdg-open is used on Unix now.
    (by Michalis Kamburelis)

2005-11-26 v0.10.0

  + New command-line options:
    --auto-link
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/AutoLinkOption])
    --implicit-visibility
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/ImplicitVisibilityOption])
    --no-macro
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/NoMacroOption])
  + New @-tags:
    @bold and @italic
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/BoldAndItalicTags])
    @seealso
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/SeeAlsoTag])
    @inheritedClass
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/InheritedClassnameNameTag])
    @preformatted (by Ascanio Pressato)
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/PreformattedTag])
    @orderedList, @unorderedList, @definitionList,
      @item, @itemLabel, @itemSpacing, @itemSetNumber
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/ListTags])
    @table, @row, @rowHead, @cell
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/TableTags])
    @noAutoLinkHere, @noAutoLink
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/AutoLinkOption])
    @tableOfContents
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/TableOfContentsTag])
  * Dashes rules: em-dash, en-dash, short dash, "@-"
    (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/WritingDocumentation])
  * FPC macros are now correctly parsed by pasdoc.
  * Each detailed description in HTML output is enclosed within gray frame
  * Various fixes. E.g.
    * --spell-check-ignore-words works now.
    * @links to @anchors and @sections work always now.
  * Many improvements to pasdoc_gui (by Richard B. Winston and Michalis)
  * back-comments
    (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/WhereToPlaceComments#head-7ce7157fefbd0d84d3577aa636f758baa813e201])

  Some compatibility had to be broken:
  * New dashes rules break compatibility. But actually previous
    behavior with regards to dashes was broken, because "-"
    was just always directly copied to output. So previously
    in HTML "-" always meant just a short dash (there was no
    way to write en-dash or em-dash). And in LaTeX
    "---"/"--"/"-" meant em-dash/en-dash/short dash,
    but there was no way to escape it (i.e. there was no "@-"
    construct).
  * Back-comments feature breaks compatibility if you have comments
    that have as their exact 1st character "<". Now they will be
    interpreted as back-comments (assigned to previous item
    with "<" stripped). To fix your docs, just add
    a space inside such problematic comment right before "<".

  done by Michalis Kamburelis.

2005-07-09 v0.9.0

    --auto-abstract
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/AutoAbstractOption])
    --introduction and --conclusion
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/IntroductionAndConclusion])
    --latex-head
      (see appropriate part of [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/CommandLine])
    --link-gv-uses and --link-gv-classes
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/GraphVizSupport])
    --link-look
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/LinkLookOption])
    --sort
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/SortOption])
    --use-tipue-search
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/UseTipueSearchOption])
    --version
      (see appropriate part of [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/CommandLine])
  + New @-tags:
    @br
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/BrTag])
    @latex
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/LatexTag])
    @section, @anchor, @title, @shorttitle tags in introduction/conclusion
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/IntroductionAndConclusion])
    @deprecated
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/DeprecatedTag])
    @value and @member
      (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/MemberValueTag])
  + pasdoc_gui, a GUI alternative to console pasdoc version.
  + Spell checking (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/SpellChecking])
  * Cache is now independent from output format
    (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/CacheOption])
  * Many fixes and improvements to HTML output,
    it's now structured a little more consistently,
    it's more configurable by CSS,
    it's 100% conforming HTML 4.01 Transitional.
  * Many fixes and improvements to LaTeX output,
    it's also structured more consistently,
    and it doesn't omit undocumented items
    (see the bottom of [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/WritingDocumentation]).
  * @longcode improvements:
    it's now formatted in LaTeX output,
    the look of float and hex values inside @longcode in HTML output
    is configurable by CSS.

    * Better full declaration of items is now displayed in documentation
    * FPC overloaded operators are now parsed
    * Delphi hint directives (deprecated, platform, library) are now parsed

    (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/TagsParametersWithoutParenthesis])
  * Many many other small fixes and improvements.

  Many internal improvements, like:
  + We maintain a large set of tests (regression tests,
    conformance tests etc.) in pasdoc sources
    (see tests/README file in pasdoc sources and
    [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/RegressionTesting]).

  Documentation:
    You can find the most complete and up-to-date documentation
    of pasdoc features in our wiki, [http://pasdoc.sourceforge.net/].
    Unfortunately, with pasdoc 0.9.0, offline documentation
    (previously in docs/ directory of released archives) is no longer
    provided, this is intended to be fixed in future releases
    (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/ToDoOfflineDocs]).

  Some compatibility had to be broken:
  * pasdoc.css will be always overwritten when you generate HTML documentation.
    You must use --css command-line option
    (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/CssOption])
    if you want to use your custom css.
  * By default no items are sorted.
    You must use --sort command-line option
    (see [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/SortOption])
    if you want to change this.
  * @links look now a little different, see
    [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/LinkLookOption] and
    [https://github.com/pasdoc/pasdoc/wiki/LinkTag],
    use --link-look=stripped if you really need old behavior.

  Authors: many. See @author tags at the beginning of pasdoc 0.9.0 units.

2004-07-12 v0.8.8.1 to v0.8.8.3 Johannes Berg, others

 + some code cleanup

2004-05-06 v0.8.8 Johannes Berg, Richard B Winston, Carl Eric Codere
 + fix a lot of tiny bugs, range check errors, etc
 + implement consolidation for // style comments so that you can now
   use // style comments in multiple lines like this:
   // @abstract(something)
   // and a real comment
   and both lines will be added to the documentation.
 + @longcode tag implemented (fixes bug #802469)
 + \LaTeX output

2003-11-20 v0.8.8-pre6 Johannes Berg
 + fix 3 logged bugs
   [ pasdoc-Bugs-842325 ] bug in function IsMacro
   [ pasdoc-Bugs-844324 ] tag "returns" very together does not insert a jump of line
   [ pasdoc-Bugs-844325 ] The tag "return" does not work, "returns" with "s" if
 + corrected output of @raises tag (last character could be cut off)
 + javi fixed and updated the Spanish translation
 + added proper warning for FPC operator overloading as it is not supported
   right now. TODO item: write a ParseOperator function
 + added support for FreePascal inline "calling convention"

2003-08-04 v0.8.8-pre5 Johannes Berg
 * more CSS, completely new style

2003-05-14 v0.8.8-pre4 Thomas Mueller
 + more CSS
 + code cleanup
 + if class has no description, write ancestor's description and
   a warning
 + reordering by visibility
 + @param, @returns, @raises except argument in parentheses now

2003-05-09 v0.8.8-pre3 Thomas Mueller/Johannes Berg
 + write complete known hierarchy in class descriptions
 - remove calling hhc.exe, you should do this from a script
 + fixed HTML-Help output
 + fixed numeric name creation wrt. cross-links
   (there was a rather BAD bug, now all numbers are
    sequential too!)
 + automatically turn on numeric filenames for HTML help because
   hhc chokes on extra dots in filenames
 + bugfix: "~" is a valid character in a URL

2003-05-02 v0.8.8-pre2 Thomas Mueller/Johannes Berg
 + better HTML output with CSS
 + HTML output has new section links
 + fix hierarchy: objects descend from TObject,
   interfaces with GUID are now shown properly

2003-05-01 v0.8.8-pre1 Thomas Mueller/Johannes Berg
 + hierarchy is shown properly with everything
 + name directive for imported functions parsed properly
 + proper HTML entity encoding

2003-04-20 v0.8.7 Johannes Berg/Thomas Mueller
Based on Ralf Junker's changes, I did the following:
 + added enumerated type parsing
 + made work with FPC
 + records (handled like classes),
   + case statements in records
   + nested records
 + spell-checker for linux (currently disabled, use an older CVS file
   of RunHelp to use under Kylix, will not work in FPC, need advice)
 + new option-parser
 + uses delphi streams instead of files. Supposedly does not work
   on all platforms FPC runs on - need advice
 + commentmarker (for example only {: comments )
 + declarations like
   "var a: function(x,y,z:Integer):Integer cdecl = nil"
   are parsed correctly
 + dependency plotting with GraphViz (AT&T )
   (not very useful)
 + uses clause will be included in doc (optional)
 + links "http://", "ftp://" etc. are recognized automatically
 + varargs directive
 + abbreviations "@author(johannes)" can be expanded
   to @author(Johannes Berg <...>) via abbreviatons file
 + @cvs($Date ...$), @cvs($Author ...$) is recognized and
   used for lastmod / author
   + duplicate authors skipped
 - name search doesn't look into classes any more,
   if a method reference is needed outside the current class
   then the class has to be specified:
   @link(class.method)
   (faster and less error-prone)
 + HTML output uses unitname.classname.html instead of numbers,
   but has option to make number-only-filenames (for short-name
   filesystems)
 + class member visibility can be specified in output
 + long option names (see PasDoc --help)
 + images are no longer carried in a .RES file but in include
   files instead, as constants in code, for FPC

Some time inbetween... (0.6.21 to 0.8.6) Ralf Junker
 - LaTeX documentation removed
 - see http://zeitungsjunge.de/delphi/PasDoc/History.htm for
   more information.

2000/04/20 v0.6.20 ms
- added Rodrigo Jardim's translations of pasdoc's output to Brasilian
  Portuguese; new switch -b (and --brasilian)
- increased STEP from 32 to 128 when reallocating description pointers,
  this makes pasdoc crash less with RTE 216; bug must still be fixed by
  changing GetMem's default behaviour

2000/04/17 v0.6.19 ms
- fixed bug that prevented pasdoc from skipping code until an $else
  conditional directive (thanks to Michael v. Canneyt for reporting
  this bug)

2000/04/12 v0.6.17 ms
- added Marc Weustinks Dutch translation to pasdoc; switch -m (or --dutch) now
  creates Dutch output
- successfully created docs on Delphi 5 rtl\win directory (222 seconds, 16 MB html
  files on a P-II 350, 256 MB RAM)

2000/04/09 v0.6.15 ms
- added Michael v.C.'s update of the tex unit (changed chapter/section/
  subsection nesting of LaTeX output)
- moved LoadDescriptionFile and LoadDescriptionFiles from main.TPasdoc to
  gendoc.TDocGenerator
- worked on external description file loading
- email addresses in author tags are now displayed as mailto links in HTML
  output
- hard-coded HTML colors in body element (already added colors for tables
  etc., as long as the whole thing is not CSS-based, it's better to have
  all colors defined so that unusual default colors of a browser won't ruin
  the overall impression)
- released 0.6.15

2000/04/08 v0.6.13 ms
- released 0.6.13

2000/04/06 v0.6.13 ms
- fixed bug that made pasdoc ignore a unit that has ). in a type declaration;
  in scanning.pas, ). was supposed to be a replacement for ] while it must be
  .)

- fixed LaTeX bug that kept pasdoc from converting identifiers that were not
  found in the list of items to output format style

2000/04/05 v0.6.13 ms
- added -u DIR switch to make pasdoc search for include files

2000/04/04 v0.6.11 ms
- moved objects.pas to directory 'other'; will now use default objects unit from FPC
- for the time being, I stop trying to compile pasdoc with Delphi, there is some bug
  I am unable to trace; Delphi 5 compiles pasdoc without problems but crashes when
  running it on appinfo.pas between the second and third constant for no apparent
  reason; I will try to fix bugs that are more obvious in the near future...
- fixed bug that made default keyword after a property appear as a field of that class
  (thanks to Andre Jager for pointing this out)
- fixed bug that made pasdoc crash on an empty author tag: @author()
  (thanks to Michael Hess for finding and isolating (!) this!)
- made pasdoc skip property declaration; property parsing needs some work,
  I will do this soon

2000/04/03 v0.6.11 ms
- created sourceforge.net account; pasdoc is now at http://pasdoc.sourceforge.net
- modified homepage to have frames; single page has become too huge

2000/03/31 v0.6.11 ms
- on a totally unrelated note - I just passed my exam in theoretical computer
  science - woohooo! again some time to work on pasdoc...

2000/02/11 v0.6.10 ms
- changed directory structure of the pasdoc project (added src, bin, man etc.)
- added -v (or --verbosity) switch to be able to change the amount of output

2000/02/08 v0.6.10 ms
- added PDF version of manual to homepage, thanks to Martin Krumpolec

  react on them with an error message
- received pasdoc DOS binaries sent in by Jean-Pierre Vial and created a 0.6.9
  DOS binaries release, then updated the homepage
- added IOResult check in TFileInputStream.Open in filestre.pas; no more crashing
  on non-existent files

  for this later (bug?)
- fixed bug that made the time in HTML documents always be 00:00:00 with
  the Delphi pasdoc version

  replacing of links and special characters is done in additional
  procedure TPasDoc.ExpandDescriptions to be called after
  TDocGenerator.BuildLinks and before TDocGenerator.WriteDocumentation
