The way it is rendered is subject to change. * properly render package ID (not package key) in index (#329) * links to source location of class instance definitions * Fix code blocks in presence of Windows line endings * Deal better with long synopsis lines (#151) ## Changes in version 2.15.0 * Always read in prologue files as UTF8 (#286 and Cabal #1721) * parser: don't wrap headers in DocParagraph (#307) * parser: don't mangle append order for nested lists (pandoc #1346) * parser: preserve list ordering in certain scenarios (#313) * parser: update the attoparsec version used internally giving slight parsing performance boost. * Move development to be against latest GHC release and not GHC HEAD. * Further split up the package to separate the executable from the library, necessary by things like GHCJS. We now have ‘haddock-library’ which are the parts that don't use GHC API, ‘haddock-api’ which are (some of) the parts that do use GHC API and ‘haddock’ which merely provides the executable. * Export few extra functions in the API. * Add compatibility with GHC 7.8.2. * Omit unnecessary ‘forall’s (#315 and #86) * Remove some files which were really old or did not belong in the repository in the first place. ## Changes in version 2.14.3 * Fix parsing of identifiers with ^ or ⋆ in them (#298) * Fix anchors (#308) ## Changes in version 2.14.2 * Always drop --split-objs GHC flag for performance reasons (#292) * Print kind signatures GADTs (#85) * Drop single leading whitespace when reasonable from @-style blocks (#201) * Fix crashes associated with exporting data family record selectors (#294) ## Changes in version 2.14.1 * Render * and -> with their UnicodeSyntax equivalents if -U is enabled * Display minimal complete definitions for type classes * Hide right hand side of TF instances with hidden names on the RHS ## Changes in version 2.14.0 * Print entities with missing documentation (#258) * Print a warning message when given `-optghc` instead of `--optghc` (#5) * Add `--compatible-interface-versions` (#231) * Allow to generate latex documentation for FFI declarations (#247) * Add copyright and license information to generated documentation * Improved to Unicode support * Bold markup support * Nested paragraphs * Better escaping * Header markup * Parser should no longer fail to parse any markup * {-# OPTIONS_HADDOCK show-extensions #-} pragma will show the GHC extensions enabled in the module. * Properly render License field (#271) * Print type/data family instances (for exported types only) * Fix display of poly-kinded type operators (#189) * PatternSynonyms support * Fix display of implicit parameters (#260) * Fix rendering of Contents when links are present (#276) * Fix documentation duplication on record fields (#195) * Add `--source-entity-line` for exact line links (eg. things defined inside TH splices) (#79) * Display fixity information for names with nonstandard fixities * Bird tracks specified like "> code" no longer suffer from an extra leading space in the code output ## Changes in version 2.13.2 * Handle HsExplicitListTy in renamer (#213) * Allow haddock markup in deprecation messages * Export more types from Documentation.Haddock * Include everything that is required to run the test suite with the cabal package (#230) ## Changes in version 2.13.1 * Hide instances that are "internal" to a module * Add support for properties in documentation * Fix a bug with spurious superclass constraints * Fix and extend the Haddock API ## Changes in version 2.12.0 * Labeled URLs (e.g <http://example.net/ some label>) * Improved memory usage (new dependency: deepseq) ## Changes in version 2.11.0 * Show deprecation messages for identifiers * List identifiers declared on the same line (with a common type) separately * Don't crash on unicode strings in doc comments * Fix reporting of modules safe haskell mode * Fix a case where we were generating invalid xhtml * Improved --qual option (no crashes, proper error messages) * A new --qual option "aliased" which qualifies identifiers by the module alias used in the source code * The Haddock API restores GHC's static flags after invocation * Access to unexported identifiers through the Haddock API again ## Changes in version 2.10.0 * Require GHC >= 7.4 * Safe Haskell indications on module pages * Type declarations on identifiers no longer necessary * Add flag --interface-version * Warn when comment refers to in-scope identifier without documentation * Bug fix: links to out-of-scope things (#78) * Bug fix: module references to other packages work again ## Changes in version 2.9.4 * Require GHC >= 7.2 * Support Alex 3.x ## Changes in version 2.9.3 [This is the version that comes with GHC 7.2.1 although it claims it's 2.9.2!] * Build with GHC 7.2.1 * Support blank lines in results of examples * A type signature for multiple names generates one signature in the output * Minor bug fixes ## Changes in version 2.9.2 * Build with GHC 7.0.2 * Write Hoogle output in utf8;

To be used with an upcoming version of the DocTest program. * Addition of a LaTeX backend. * Frames-mode can be enabled from the header menu. * Path to source entities can be specified per package, so that source links work for cross-package documentation. * Support for a second form of enumerated lists (1. 2. etc). * Additions and changes to the Haddock API. * New flag --no-tmp-comp-dir to tell Haddock to write and pick up compilation files (.o, .hi, etc) to/from GHC's output directory instead of a temporary directory. * Various bug fixes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 2.6.1 (bug fix release from the stable branch) * Fix #128 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 2.7.2 * Add Paths_haddock to library ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 2.7.1: * Fix problems with library part of .cabal file ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 2.7.0: * Instances can be commented * The Haddock API now exposes more of the internals of Haddock * Bug fixes (most importantly #128) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 2.6.0: * Drop support for GHC 6.10.* * Add support for GHC 6.12.1 * Cross-package documentation: full documentation show up when re-exporting things coming from external packages * Lexing and parsing the Haddock comment markup is now done in Haddock again, instead of in GHC * Slightly prettier printing of instance heads * Support platforms for which GHC has no native code generator * Add a flag --print-ghc-libdir * Minor bug fixes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changed in version 2.5.0: * Drop support for GHC 6.8.* * Add support for GHC 6.10.3 and 6.10.4 * Revert to the old multi-page index for large packages (#106) * Show GADT records in the generated documentation * Create output directory if it doesn't exist (#104) * Use the native codegen instead of compiling via C for TH modules * Add --use-unicode flag for displaying prettier versions of common symbols * Multiple verbosity levels: remove --verbose and add --verbosity=n ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changed in version 2.4.2: * Support GHC 6.10.2 * Haddock no longer crashes on Template Haskell modules (#68) (only with GHC 6.10.2 or above) * Fix problem with Template Haskell-generated declarations disappearing (#59) * Generate two anchors for each link for compatibility between IE and Opera (#45) * Improved error messages * Show re-exports from external packages again (GHC ticket #2746) * Store hidden modules in .haddock files again (needed by the haddock library) * Avoid processing boot modules * Pragmas may exist between document comments and declarations * Do not indicate that a constructor argument is unboxed * Fix problem with non-working links to ghc-prim * Allow referring to a specific section within a module in a module link (#65) * Fixes to the Hoogle backend * Improvements to the haddock library * Many other fixes (including #67, #69, #58, #57) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changed in version 2.4.1: * Depend on base 4.* when GHC >= 6.9, otherwise 3.* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changed in version 2.4.0: * Add framed view of the HTML documentation * Build with GHC 6.8.2 and 6.8.3 again * Support images in documentation comments again * Small improvements to the Hoogle output * A few bugs has been fixed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changed in version 2.3.0: * Support for GHC 6.10.1 * Slightly improved space usage * Fix a bug that made hidden modules show up in the contents & index pages * Fix a bug that made Haddock load modules twice * Improvements to the Hoogle output ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changed in version 2.2.2: * Relax version dependency on ghc-paths ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 2.2.1: * Support for GHC 6.8.3 * The Hoogle backend is back, thanks to Neil Mitchell. The plan is to be compatible with the upcoming Hoogle 4 pre-release * Show associated types in the documentation for class declarations * Show type family declarations * Show type equality predicates * Major bug fixes (#1 and #44) * It is no longer required to specify the path to GHC's lib dir * Remove unnecessary parenthesis in type signatures ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 2.1.0: * Fix a bug that made links point to the defining module instead of the "best" one (e.g Int pointing to GHC.Base instead of Data.Int) * Fix a couple of smaller bugs * The representation of DocName was changed in the library * Add a flag --no-warnings for turning off warnings ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 2.0.0.0: * The GHC API is used as the front-end * Haddock now understands all syntax understood by GHC 6.8.2 * Haddock can generate documentation for some of the language extensions in GHC 6.8.2 * Format of module attributes has changed. The only way of specifying module attributes is via a new OPTIONS_HADDOCK pragma. Example: {-# OPTIONS_HADDOCK hide, prune #-} * Haddock understands literate source files * Add a small library to read Haddock's interface files * Add a flag -B for passing the path to the GHC lib dir * Add a flag --optghc for passing options to GHC * Add a flag --ghc-version for printing the GHC version * Remove --use-package, --allow-missing-html, --ghc-pkg, in favour of only supporting --read-interface * Remove --package flag, the GHC flag -package-name can be used instead * Remove --no-implicit-prelude flag, the GHC flag -XNoImplicitPrelude can be used instead ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 0.9: * Infix type operators, e.g., first :: a~>a' -> (a,b)~>(a',b) * Add a search box to the index page which automatically narrows the index to the search as you type (thanks to Neil Mitchell). * Add a --ghc-pkg flag * Add a flag --allow-missing-html * URL expansion for %%, %L, %{LINE} * added substitution %{FILE///c} * Lexing of /.../ is now more like '...', in that a / character must be matched by another / character on the same line, otherwise it is treated as a literal '/'. This removes a common source of accidental parse errors in documentation. * Various bugs were fixed. * Cabal 1.2 is now required, and Haddock builds with GHC 6.8.x. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 0.8: * Haddock has a Cabal build system, and will build on Windows without Cygwin or MSYS. GHC 6.4 or later is required. * New options: --comments-base, --comments-module, --comments-entity for generating links to pages (eg. wiki) for collecting user comments. * New options: --source-base, --source-module, --source-entity for generating links to source code. Haddock now understands {-# LINE #-} pragmas, which means it can figure out the correct name for the source file even if the file is preprocessed. * Haddock generates output for populating the Hoogle search engine. * New markup <<url>> for including images. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 0.7: * ## Changes in the way Haddock decides where to direct hyperlinks. Each entity is now assigned a single "home" module, and all hyperlinks are directed to that module. See the docs ("Hyperlinking and re-exported entities") for details. * New options --ignore-all-exports, --hide * New option --use-package for creating documentation that hyperlinks to the HTML documentation for existing packages on your system. It works by querying ghc-pkg for the location of the Haddock interface and HTML for the given package. * Parts of the HTML documentation, notably lists of instances, are now "collapsible" with a +/- button. Also, the contents page is now in the form of tree in which subtrees can be collapsed. * Support for Microsoft DevHelp and HtmlHelp 2.0 formats. * Support for a short description for each module for the contents page. * Compiles with GHC 6.4+ * Various bugfixes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 0.6: * Implicit parameters, zip comprehensions and 'mdo' are now supported by the parser. * Some lexical bugs were fixed, mainly concerning literal paragraphs next to non-literal paragraphs. * New options: --gen-index, --use-index, --gen-contents and --use-contents, for generting a combined index and contents for several libraries from the appropriate .haddock files. * There is now one index rather than separate Function/Constructor and Type/Class indices. Where a name refers to several entities, these are listed separately in the index. * New option: -v, elicits more verbose warnings. Some warnings are now turned off by default; Haddock should be a little less noisy in general. * Markup for definition lists has been added. See the documentation for details. * New option: --package for setting the package name. The package is listed alongside each module name in the combined contents. * Entities which are re-exported from another package now at least leave a hyperlink in the generated HTML, rather than nothing at all. * Some fixes for bugs which caused incorrect hyperlinks in the generated HTML. In particular, instances should now be linked correctly. * Some aesthetic improvements to the generated HTML. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 0.5: * Compiles with recent versions of GHC. * A few bugs have been fixed. * New labelling/linking feature (see "Anchors" in the manual). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 0.4: * Import declarations which list entities in parentheses, or with hiding clauses, are now properly supported. Modulo one or two small infelicities, the full Haskell modules system is now supported. * Haddock is now more flexible about the placing of separators (commas, semicolons) in relation to doc comments. * There is support for generating and reading "interface files" which describe the exports of a set of modules. This is useful for generating documentation which hyperlinks to previously-generated documentation. * Support for generating the extra files required by the Microsoft Help compiler. * New option: --prologue specifies a file of documentation which is placed on the contents page. * Many bugs fixed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 0.3: * Documentation on individual function arguments is now implemented * Links can be made to identifiers that aren't in scope, by using the fully qualified name. * Instances are collected and listed with the appropriate classes and datatypes (not for derived instances yet). * Single quotes are only interpreted specially when they surround a legal Haskell identifier, otherwise they are treated literally. * Bird-tracked text is now literal. If you want marked-up text in a code block, use the @...@ notation instead. * Various changes to the layout, it generally looks nicer now. * Various bugs fixed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Changes in version 0.2: * The [...] markup for typewriter font has been changed to @...@. * Module attributes introduced (see the documentation for details). * {- ... -} style comments may now be used for documentation annotations * Recursive modules are detected and reported as an error. * Existential constructors and rank-N types are now groked by the parser * Some type rendering cleaned up * `abc' is accepted as well as 'abc' to markup an identifier * Several bugs fixed, and error messages improved.
