- (added) latexmk is required for
make latexpdf
on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X (refs: #3082)
Incompatible changes¶
1.6b1
- #1061, #2336, #3235: Now generation of autosummary doesn’t contain imported members by default. Thanks to Luc Saffre.
- LaTeX
\includegraphics
command isn’t overloaded: only\sphinxincludegraphics
has the custom code to fit image to available width if oversized. - The subclasses of
sphinx.domains.Index
should overridegenerate()
method. The default implementation raises NotImplementedError - LaTeX positioned long tables horizontally centered, and short ones
flushed left (no text flow around table.) The position now defaults to center in
both cases, and it will obey Docutils 0.13
:align:
option (refs #3415, #3377) - option directive also allows all punctuations for the option name (refs: #3366)
- #3413: if
literalinclude
’s:start-after:
is used, make:lines:
relative (refs #3412) literalinclude
directive does not allow the combination of:diff:
option and other options (refs: #3416)- LuaLaTeX engine uses
fontspec
like XeLaTeX. It is advisedlatex_engine = 'lualatex'
be used only on up-to-date TeX installs (refs #3070, #3466) latex_keep_old_macro_names

BuildEnvironment.__init__
is changed - #3082: Use latexmk for pdf (and dvi) targets (Unix-like platforms only)
- #3558: Emit warnings if footnotes and citations are not referenced. The
warnings can be suppressed by
suppress_warnings
. - latex made available (non documented) colour macros from a file distributed
with pdftex engine for Plain TeX. This is removed in order to provide better
support for multiple TeX engines. Only interface from
color
orxcolor
packages should be used by extensions of Sphinx latex writer. (refs #3550) Builder.env
is not filled at instantiation- #3594: LaTeX: single raw directive has been considered as block level element
- #3639: If
html_experimental_html5_writer
is available, epub builder use it by default. Sphinx.add_source_parser()
raises an error if duplicated
1.6b2

Release 1.2 beta1 (released Mar 31, 2013)¶
Incompatible changes¶
- Removed
sphinx.util.compat.directive_dwim()
andsphinx.roles.xfileref_role()
which were deprecated since version 1.0. - PR#122: the files given in
latex_additional_files
now override TeX files included by Sphinx, such assphinx.sty
. - PR#124: the node generated by
versionadded
,versionchanged
anddeprecated
directives now includes all added markup (such as “New in version X”) as child nodes, and no additional text must be generated by writers. - PR#99: the
seealso
directive now generates admonition nodes instead of the customseealso
node.
Features added¶
- Markup
- The
toctree
directive and thetoctree()
template function now have anincludehidden
option that includes hidden toctree entries (bugs #790 and #1047). A bug in themaxdepth
option for thetoctree()
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.
- The
- 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.

- Update to jQuery 1.7.1 and Underscore.js 1.3.1.
- Texinfo builder

- “deffn” categories are no longer capitalized if they contain capital letters.
desc_annotation
nodes are now rendered.strong
andemphasis
nodes are now formatted likeliteral
s. 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
andproblematic
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 inlatex_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 inlatex_elements
can be used to control this. Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev. - The
'fontpkg'
item inlatex_elements
now defaults to''
when thelanguage
uses the Cyrillic script. Suggested by Dmitry Shachnev. - The
latex_documents
,texinfo_documents
, andman_pages
configuration values will be set to default values based on themaster_doc
if not explicitly set inconf.py
. Previously, if these values were not set, no output would be generated by their respective builders.
- PR#115: Add

--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.

Incompatible changes¶
- 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
