Doxygen Release 1.4.7

(release date 11-06-2006)

Changes

The stylesheet has changed, so if you use your own, you will need to update it or the output will look ugly.

New features

Added support for universal binaries on MacOSX (only the non-GUI part).
Added CALLER_GRAPH config option and \callergraph command to add a caller (or called-by) graph to a function or all functions. (thanks to Daniel Sherwood for the patch)
Added REFERENCES_LINK_SOURCE config option which allows to selected if reference relations should point to the source or to the documentation (thanks to Daniel Sherwood for the patch).
Included patch by Christoph Pesch to mention the member type in the warning "Member ... of ... is not documented".
included update for Spanish, Italian, Norwegian, and Czech translations.
Added support for get/set properties in IDL (thanks to a patch by Sander Stoks).

Doxygen Release 1.4.5

(release date 4-10-2005)

Changes

Changed to way the index looks (I hope you like it!). It now is a list of items styled (with CSS) as a row of tabs. Also class/namespace/file related items are now grouped together and presented as a second row of tabs to prevent clutter (the latter is based on the suggestions/patch in bug report 162968). Note that if you use a custom HTML header you need to add <link href="tabs.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> to the head section!
Copydoc now copies the brief description as well.

New features

id 306889: Added new config option BUILTIN_STL_SUPPORT. When enabled, doxygen will assume that STL classes exist (without the need to include the STL headers as INPUT). This helps with matching of argument lists for function declarations and definitions and also helps to improve the collaboration and inheritance diagrams that involve STL classes.
id 317010: Added support for the following new HTML entities: ‘ ’ “ ” – — (thanks to a patch by madalexonline)
Included update for Chinese translation.
included update for the VC++ project files (in wintools dir), thanks to Johan Eriksson.

id 312688: Typedefs of arrays were auto-linked to the base type i.s.o the typedef.
id 312678: Fixed excessive memory usage for @fn commands due to a memory leak of the scanner buffer 256K of memory was leaked for each command!
id 312791: Undocumentated members did not result in warnings if SOURCE_BROWSER was enable and the member's definition was part of the INPUT.
A C-comment inside a \code block could lead to parse problems in the preprocessor, resulting in #defines that are not found.

id 317490: A variable of a nested class, forward declared in a template class, which in turn was in a namespace, caused the variable to end up in the global scope.

Doxygen Release 1.4.4

(release date 21-7-2005)

New features

Added support for parsing Python code. Special comment blocks in Python are of the
```
         ##
	 #  Some comment
	 #
       
```
or you can rely on Python docstrings. This code uses the new parser interface and was based on the work done by a group of students as part of a compiler design project.
Added support for C# style XML tags in the comments. See the manual or the C# language specification for more details. Thanks to Talin for doing most of the work.

Doxygen Release 1.4.3

(release date 16-5-2005)

Changes

For Developers: Added an abstract interface for language parsers (see src/parserintf.h), which can be used implement new programming language parsers. There is also a manager class, where a parser instance can be bound to a certain file extension.
Changed the algorithm for matching function/method declarations against their definitions. The new algorithm should be faster, more powerful, and more accurate.

New features

Included new config option HTAGS. When enabled in combination with SOURCE_BROWSER=YES, the source browser of GNU's Global source system (via htags) is used instead of doxygen's own (thanks to Shigio Yamaguchi for the patch).

Using '<' (or '\<') in a <pre> section cause '$<$' to appear in the Latex output.

Doxygen Release 1.4.2

(release date 28-3-2005)

Changes

If the class/namespace/file member indexes get too long they are now automatically split over multiple pages (one page per index letter).
Internal: I've split the input scanner (scanner.l) in a part that scans the supported programming languages and passes the comment blocks to a second scanner. This should clean up the code a lot and make the handling of structural commands (like \class and \section) more consistent. It is also a first step towards supporting dedicated scanners for other programming languages.
Made doxygen parse .as files (Action Script) as Java code.

New features

Added a new option SEPARATE_MEMBER_PAGES. When enabled doxygen will generate a separate page for each documented member, instead of putting all members on the class/file/namespace page. An index for other members of the same compound is rendered on the left hand side of the page.
Added new command \subpage that can be used to build a hierarchy of pages. For pages this is more convenient than using \defgroup and \ingroup. See the documentation more details and an example.
Included man pages for doxygen and doxywizard.
Language updates for Czech, Swedish, Russian, Italian, Catalan, German, Brazilian, Korean, Ukrainian, Romanian, Croatian and Chinese,

Doxygen Release 1.4.1

(release date 11-1-2005)

Bug fixes

id 163058,163401: Due to a memory corruption bug doxygen could crash under certain conditions (the Windows binary was the most sensitive to this).
id 163003,163495: Doxygen crashed when GROUP_GRAPH and UML_LOOK were enabled.
Book icon in the treeview is now clickable and has the appropriate action (thanks to Will Bateman).
Entering the expert dialog in doxywizard now only requires saving the config file if actual changes were made.

Doxygen Release 1.4.0

(release date 31-12-2004)

Changes

In the HTML help output (.chm files) the index items with only one subitem are now collapsed into one item (thanks to Antony Pranata for the patch).
Some minor tweaks to the style sheet.
@relates can now not only be used for functions, but also for other members (i.e. enums, types and variables).
Static members do have have explicit "static" in the declaration part of the documentation. This is useful for grouping where it is otherwise not obvious that a member is static.
typedefs and enumeration are no longer shown in the "referenced by" list as these are types (based on patch by Antoine Tandin).
Make configure script use solaris-g++ by default (Sun's own compiler generates faulty code for doxygen).

New features

Included language update for Serbian, German, and Korean.
For directories dependency graphs are now generated (controlled by the DIRECTORY_GRAPH switch). For a given directory, the graph will show its parent directory and the sub directories as nested boxes. For the directory and its sub directories it will show the relations with other directories. Relations are based on #include relations of the files contained in the directories. Each dependency arrow has an associated number. This number indicates the number of different #include relations. Clicking on the number will show a page with the exact #include relations (the latter is for the HTML output only).
Added \cond and \endcond commands, which can be used to (conditionally) exclude a part of a file. See the manual for an example.
Added "-d ExtCmd" debug option, which when used shows what doxygen will execute when invoking an external command (such as dot).
New option WARN_NO_PARAMDOC that warns about the absence of function parameter or return type documentation.
Nested classes are now listed in their containing class.
Extended the \f command to support different environments, i.e. \f{eqnarray*} for equation arrays. The end command is \f}. The documentation has an example.
Added support for group dependency graphs (thanks to a patch by Antoine Tandin): New option: GROUP_GRAPHS
New option DOT_TRANSPARENT to enable dot graph with a transparent background. Thanks to Maik Hinrichs for the patch.
New option FILE_VERSION_FILTER which allows an external tool to provide version information per file, which is then used in the file documentation. Thanks to Maik Hinrichs for the patch.
id 162295: New option DOT_MULTI_TARGETS which when set to YES, will run dot with multiple output files if possible. This was added to support older version of dot (<=1.8.10) which do not support multiple output targets. If you use a recent version of dot, you probably want to enable this (default is NO).

Bug fixes

id 119868: Removed warning when </li> ended a @c or similar command.
id 120367: \~lang didn't work correctly around brief descriptions and certain commands. It is now implemented as an early filter operation like \cond.
id 135311: Recursive ALIAS definitions now work again.
id 151012: <td> tag in HTML function documentation missed 'class="md"'
id 154689: Wrong link to members of namespaces imported from tag files when CASE_SENSE_NAMES is set to NO.
id 154700: anchors in pages imported via tag files could not be linked to.
id 154755: Files were missing from Doxygen.dsp project file. (thanks to Gerik Rhoden).
id 154758: Fixed typedef resolution bug that could crash doxygen (thanks to Gerik Rhoden for the analysis and fix).
id 154862: Fixed problem matching array parameters that include template parameters as the array size.
id 154863: Fixed parsing problem in the preprocessor when an expression contained the division operator.
id 154469: Referring to Objective-C messages was broken if the full scope was used.
id 155086: Typedef for member-function pointers of template classes not recognized
id 155272: Image filenames in RTF output were not quoted causing problem with custom images whose name contained spaces.
id 155322: Fixed parse problem for php code containing '#'.
id 155224: Java interfaces did't resolve across packages w/o FQN.
id 156411: Return type of a function was not hyperlinked in some cases (typical with nested namespaces or Java packages).
id 156445: function seen first in header and doc'ed in source broke autolinking depending on the order of the input.
id 157085: Autolinks for const/volatile operators didn't work.
id 157229: Upper case letters in \page "" breaks title on page.
id 157433: Multi-variable declarations were not parsed properly.
id 157485: @todo's inside the body of a function were not handled properly.
id 158961: Set EXTRACT_ALL to NO resulted in no directory information unless the directory and files were documented. This is now controlled by SHOW_DIRECTORIES.
id 158481: I did some memory usage analysis with valgrind's massif tool, which indicated that a lot of memory was used by QCString objects. This made me decide to reimplement the class and optimize it for memory usage. The resulting class saves a "new" operation of 12 bytes per string object, which seems to reduce the overall amount of memory used by doxygen by a factor 2 to 3! The implementation seemed more expense to use (as it always copies the content instead of sharing it), but the performance has improved nevertheless (probably because "new" is much more expensive operation than copying small strings).
id 158637: Links to classes in brief description in index pages were wrong when CREATE_SUBDIRS was set to YES.
id 158884: "typedef [something] enum" in IDL was not handled properly.
id 159487: @ref's to Objective-C class categories were not possible.

Latex output was broken in some cases where anonymous structs were used.
Fixed bug in doxywizard: if the wizard was used some settings were not remembered.
Using \n inside an ALIAS definition caused line numbers for source browsing to become misaligned.
For included-by graphs files with the same name all had the same node label.
