‘sphinx’ prefix. Thanks to Erik B.
#1265: Fix i18n: crash when translating a section name that is pointed to from
a named target.
A wrong condition broke the search feature on first page that is usually
index.rst. This issue was introduced in 1.2b1.
#703: When Sphinx can’t decode filenames with non-ASCII characters, Sphinx now
catches UnicodeError and will continue if possible instead of raising the
exception.
apidoc now ignores “_private” modules by default, and has an option -P
to include them.
apidoc now has an option to not generate headings for packages and
modules, for the case that the module docstring already includes a reST
heading.
PR#161: apidoc can now write each module to a standalone page instead of
combining all modules in a package on one page.
Builders: rebuild i18n target document when catalog updated.
Support docutils.conf ‘writers’ and ‘html4css1 writer’ section in the HTML
writer. The latex, manpage and texinfo writers also support their respective
‘writers’ sections.

additional text must be generated by writers.
PR#99: the seealso directive now generates admonition nodes instead
of the custom seealso node.
The toctree directive and the toctree() template function now
have an includehidden option that includes hidden toctree entries (bugs
#790 and #1047). A bug in the maxdepth option for the toctree()
template function has been fixed (bug #1046).
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.
#1053: The “rightsidebar” and “collapsiblesidebar” HTML theme options now work
together.
Update to jQuery 1.7.1 and Underscore.js 1.3.1.
Texinfo builder
An “Index” node is no longer added when there are no entries.
“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 genereted by
their respective builders.
Internationalization:
Add i18n capabilities for custom templates. For example: The Sphinx
reference documentation in doc directory provides a sphinx.pot file with
message strings from doc/_templates/*.html when using makegettext.
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#45: The linkcheck builder now checks #anchors for existence.
PR#123, #1106: Add epub_use_index configuration value. If
provided, it will be used instead of html_use_index for epub
builder.
PR#126: Add epub_tocscope configuration value. The setting
controls the generation of the epub toc. The user can now also include
hidden toc entries.
PR#25: In inheritance diagrams, the first line of the class docstring
is now the tooltip for the class.
Command-line interfaces:
PR#75: Added --follow-links option to sphinx-apidoc.
#869: sphinx-build now has the option -T for printing the full
traceback after an unhandled exception.
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 occurrance 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.
Locales:
PR#74: Fix some Russian translation.
PR#54: Added Norwegian bokmaal translation.
PR#35: Added Slovak translation.

#440: Fix coarse timestamp resolution in some filesystem generating a wrong
list of outdated files.
The py:module directive doesn’t output its platform option
value anymore. (It was the only thing that the directive did output, and
therefore quite inconsistent.)
Removed support for old dependency versions; requirements are now:
#472: linkcheck builder: Check links in parallel, use HTTP HEAD
requests and allow configuring the timeout. New config values:
linkcheck_timeout and linkcheck_workers.
Application.add_stylesheet() now accepts full URIs.
Autodoc:
#564: Add autodoc_docstring_signature. When enabled (the
default), autodoc retrieves the signature from the first line of the
docstring, if it is found there.
#176: Provide private-members option for autodoc directives.
#520: Provide special-members option for autodoc directives.
#431: Doc comments for attributes can now be given on the same line
as the assignment.

situations.
#567: Emit the autodoc-process-docstring event even for objects
without a docstring so that it can add content.
#565: In the LaTeX builder, not only literal blocks require different
table handling, but also quite a few other list-like block elements.
#515: Fix tracebacks in the viewcode extension for Python objects
that do not have a valid signature.
Fix strange reportings of line numbers for warnings generated from
autodoc-included docstrings, due to different behavior depending
on docutils version.
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 oldcmarkup extension; in Sphinx
1.0, it is activated by default.
Removed support for old dependency versions; requirements are now:
Added html_compact_lists config value to control
docutils’ compact lists feature.
The html_sidebars config value can now contain patterns
as keys, and the values can be lists that explicitly select which
sidebar templates should be rendered. That means that the builtin
sidebar contents can be included only selectively.
The behavior of html_file_suffix changed slightly: the
empty string now means “no suffix” instead of “default suffix”, use
None for “default suffix”.
New builders:
Added a builder for the Epub format.
Added a builder for manual pages.
Added a single-file HTML builder.
HTML output:
Inline roles now get a CSS class with their name, allowing styles to
customize their appearance. Domain-specific roles get two classes,
domain and domain-rolename.
References now get the class internal if they are internal to
the whole project, as opposed to internal to the current page.
External references can be styled differently with the new
externalrefs theme option for the default theme.
In the default theme, the sidebar can experimentally now be made
collapsible using the new collapsiblesidebar theme option.
#129: Toctrees are now wrapped in a div tag with class
toctree-wrapper in HTML output.
The toctree callable in templates now has a maxdepth
keyword argument to control the depth of the generated tree.
The toctree callable in templates now accepts a
titles_only keyword argument.
Added htmltitle block in layout template.
In the JavaScript search, allow searching for object names including
the module name, like sys.argv.
Added new theme haiku, inspired by the Haiku OS user guide.
Added new theme nature.
Added new theme agogo, created by Andi Albrecht.
Added new theme scrolls, created by Armin Ronacher.
#193: Added a visitedlinkcolor theme option to the default
theme.
#322: Improved responsiveness of the search page by loading the
search index asynchronously.
