-- Haddock 2.8.0
--------------------------------------------
A new version of Haddock, the Haskell documentation tool, is out!
The biggest news this time is that we have a shiny new XHTML backend, created
by Mark Lentczner, which outputs semantically correct XHTML, making it much
easier to create new themes for Haddock.
Mark has made an extraordinary effort by going through and rewriting the old
table based HTML backend, fixing non-standards-compliant quirks, and adding a
bunch of new useful features on top of that. See the changelog for more
details.
Included is a new default CSS theme created by Thomas Schilling, Mark and Johan
Tibell, as well as the classic theme converted to work with the new backend.
Another great new feature is markup support for examples, contributed by Simon
Hengel. The idea is to be able to write examples that function both as
documentation and unit tests.
Last but not least, we now also have a LaTeX backend. It was written by Simon
Marlow and it was used to generate the libraries section of the Haskell 2010
report.
--------------------------------------------
-- Changes in version 2.8.0
--------------------------------------------
* HTML backend completely rewritten to generate semantically rich XHTML
using the xhtml package.
* New default CSS based on the color scheme chosen for the new Haskell
wiki, with a pull-out tab for the synopsis.
* Theme engine based on CSS files. Themes can be switched from the
header menu. (New flags --built-in-themes and --theme. The latter
is an alias for --css which now has extended semantics).
* Markup support for executable examples/unit-tests. 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 read/write
compilation files (.o, .hi, etc) to/from GHC's output directory instead of
to/from a temporary directory.
* Various bug fixes.
