Release 2.0.0 (released Mar 29, 2019)

Dependencies

2.0.0b1

• LaTeX builder now depends on TeX Live 2015 or above.

• LaTeX builder (with 'pdflatex' latex_engine) will process Unicode Greek letters in text (not in math mark-up) via the text font and will not escape them to math mark-up. See the discussion of the 'fontenc' key of latex_elements; such (optional) support for Greek adds, for example on Ubuntu xenial, the texlive-lang-greek and (if default font set-up is not modified) cm-super(-minimal) as additional Sphinx LaTeX requirements.

• LaTeX builder with latex_engine set to 'xelatex' or to 'lualatex' requires (by default) the FreeFont fonts, which in Ubuntu xenial are provided by package fonts-freefont-otf, and e.g. in Fedora 29 via package texlive-gnu-freefont.

• requests 2.5.0 or above

• The six package is no longer a dependency

• The sphinxcontrib-websupport package is no longer a dependency

• Some packages are separated to sub packages:

  • sphinxcontrib.applehelp

  • sphinxcontrib.devhelp

  • sphinxcontrib.htmlhelp

  • sphinxcontrib.jsmath

  • sphinxcontrib.serializinghtml

  • sphinxcontrib.qthelp

Incompatible changes

2.0.0b1

• Drop python 2.7 and 3.4 support

• Drop docutils 0.11 support

• Drop features and APIs deprecated in 1.7.x

• The default setting for master_doc is changed to 'index' which has been longly used as default of sphinx-quickstart.

• LaTeX: Move message resources to sphinxmessage.sty

• LaTeX: Stop using \captions<lang> macro for some labels

• LaTeX: for 'xelatex' and 'lualatex', use the FreeFont OpenType fonts as default choice (refs: #5645)

• LaTeX: 'xelatex' and 'lualatex' now use \small in code-blocks (due to FreeMono character width) like 'pdflatex' already did (due to Courier character width). You may need to adjust this via latex_elements 'fvset' key, in case of usage of some other OpenType fonts (refs: #5768)

• LaTeX: Greek letters in text are not escaped to math mode mark-up, and they will use the text font not the math font. The LGR font encoding must be added to the 'fontenc' key of latex_elements for this to work (only if it is needed by the document, of course).

• LaTeX: setting the language to 'en' triggered Sonny option of fncychap, now it is Bjarne to match case of no language specified. (refs: #5772)

• #5770: doctest: Follow highlight_language on highlighting doctest block. As a result, they are highlighted as python3 by default.

• The order of argument for HTMLTranslator, HTML5Translator and ManualPageTranslator are changed

• LaTeX: hard-coded redefinitions of \l@section and \l@subsection formerly done during loading of 'manual' docclass get executed later, at time of \sphinxtableofcontents. This means that custom user definitions from LaTeX preamble now get overwritten. Use \sphinxtableofcontentshook to insert custom user definitions. See Macros.

• quickstart: Simplify generated conf.py

• #4148: quickstart: some questions are removed. They are still able to specify via command line options

• websupport: unbundled from sphinx core. Please use sphinxcontrib-websupport

• C++, the visibility of base classes is now always rendered as present in the input. That is, private is now shown, where it was ellided before.

• LaTeX: graphics inclusion of oversized images rescales to not exceed the text width and height, even if width and/or height option were used. (refs: #5956)

• epub: epub_title defaults to the project option

• #4550: All tables and figures without align option are displayed to center

• #4587: html: Output HTML5 by default

2.0.0b2

• texinfo: image files are copied into name-figure directory

Features added

2.0.0b1

• #1618: The search results preview of generated HTML documentation is reader-friendlier: instead of showing the snippets as raw reStructuredText markup, Sphinx now renders the corresponding HTML.

  • 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.

  • “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 literals. 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 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 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 latex_elements can be used to control this. Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev.

  • The 'fontpkg' item in latex_elements now defaults to '' when the language uses the Cyrillic script. Suggested by Dmitry Shachnev.

  • The latex_documents, texinfo_documents, and man_pages configuration values will be set to default values based on the master_doc if not explicitly set in conf.py. Previously, if these values were not set, no output would be generated by their respective builders.

  • PR#61,#703: Add support for non-ASCII filename handling.

• Other builders:

  • Added the Docutils-native XML and pseudo-XML builders. See XMLBuilder and PseudoXMLBuilder.

  • PR#52: special_members flag to autodoc now behaves like members.

  • PR#47: Added sphinx.ext.linkcode extension.

  • sphinx-build now supports the standard --help and --version options.

  • sphinx-build now provides more specific error messages when called with invalid options or arguments.

  • sphinx-build now has a verbose option -v which can be repeated for greater effect. A single occurrence 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.

  • 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 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
