Release 2.0.0 (released Mar 29, 2019)
=====================================
Dependencies
------------
2.0.0b1
* LaTeX builder now depends on TeX Live 2015 or above.
* LaTeX builder (with ``'pdflatex'`` :confval:`latex_engine`) will process
Unicode Greek letters in text (not in math mark-up) via the text font and
will not escape them to math mark-up. See the discussion of the
``'fontenc'`` key of :confval:`latex_elements`; such (optional) support for
Greek adds, for example on Ubuntu xenial, the ``texlive-lang-greek`` and (if
default font set-up is not modified) ``cm-super(-minimal)`` as additional
Sphinx LaTeX requirements.
* LaTeX builder with :confval:`latex_engine` set to ``'xelatex'`` or to
``'lualatex'`` requires (by default) the ``FreeFont`` fonts,
which in Ubuntu xenial are provided by package ``fonts-freefont-otf``, and
e.g. in Fedora 29 via package ``texlive-gnu-freefont``.
* requests 2.5.0 or above
* The six package is no longer a dependency
* The sphinxcontrib-websupport package is no longer a dependency
* Some packages are separated to sub packages:
- sphinxcontrib.applehelp
- sphinxcontrib.devhelp
- sphinxcontrib.htmlhelp
- sphinxcontrib.jsmath
- sphinxcontrib.serializinghtml
- sphinxcontrib.qthelp
Incompatible changes
--------------------
2.0.0b1
* Drop python 2.7 and 3.4 support
* Drop docutils 0.11 support
* Drop features and APIs deprecated in 1.7.x
* The default setting for :confval:`master_doc` is changed to ``'index'`` which
has been longly used as default of sphinx-quickstart.
* LaTeX: Move message resources to ``sphinxmessage.sty``
* LaTeX: Stop using ``\captions<lang>`` macro for some labels
* LaTeX: for ``'xelatex'`` and ``'lualatex'``, use the ``FreeFont`` OpenType
fonts as default choice (refs: #5645)
* LaTeX: ``'xelatex'`` and ``'lualatex'`` now use ``\small`` in code-blocks
(due to ``FreeMono`` character width) like ``'pdflatex'`` already did (due
to ``Courier`` character width). You may need to adjust this via
:confval:`latex_elements` ``'fvset'`` key, in case of usage of some other
OpenType fonts (refs: #5768)
* LaTeX: Greek letters in text are not escaped to math mode mark-up, and they
will use the text font not the math font. The ``LGR`` font encoding must be
added to the ``'fontenc'`` key of :confval:`latex_elements` for this to work
(only if it is needed by the document, of course).
* LaTeX: setting the :confval:`language` to ``'en'`` triggered ``Sonny`` option
of ``fncychap``, now it is ``Bjarne`` to match case of no language specified.
(refs: #5772)
* #5770: doctest: Follow :confval:`highlight_language` on highlighting doctest
block. As a result, they are highlighted as python3 by default.
* The order of argument for ``HTMLTranslator``, ``HTML5Translator`` and
``ManualPageTranslator`` are changed
* LaTeX: hard-coded redefinitions of ``\l@section`` and ``\l@subsection``
formerly done during loading of ``'manual'`` docclass get executed later, at
time of ``\sphinxtableofcontents``. This means that custom user definitions
from LaTeX preamble now get overwritten. Use ``\sphinxtableofcontentshook``
to insert custom user definitions. See :ref:`latex-macros`.
* quickstart: Simplify generated ``conf.py``
* #4148: quickstart: some questions are removed. They are still able to specify
via command line options
* websupport: unbundled from sphinx core. Please use sphinxcontrib-websupport
* C++, the visibility of base classes is now always rendered as present in the
input. That is, ``private`` is now shown, where it was ellided before.
* LaTeX: graphics inclusion of oversized images rescales to not exceed
the text width and height, even if width and/or height option were used.
(refs: #5956)
* epub: ``epub_title`` defaults to the :confval:`project` option
* #4550: All tables and figures without ``align`` option are displayed to center
* #4587: html: Output HTML5 by default
2.0.0b2
* texinfo: image files are copied into ``name-figure`` directory

Features added
--------------
2.0.0b1
* #1618: The search results preview of generated HTML documentation is
reader-friendlier: instead of showing the snippets as raw reStructuredText
markup, Sphinx now renders the corresponding HTML. This means the Sphinx
extension `Sphinx: pretty search results`__ is no longer necessary. Note that
changes to the search function of your custom or 3rd-party HTML template might
overwrite this improvement.

letters in non-Cyrillic document even with ``'pdflatex'`` as
:confval:`latex_engine` (refs: #5645)

are now generated with their own specific CSS classes

generic ``versionmodified`` class.
* #5841: apidoc: Add --extensions option to sphinx-apidoc
* #4981: C++, added an alias directive for inserting lists of declarations,

:confval:`html_baseurl` set

=====================================
Dependencies
------------
1.8.0b1
* LaTeX: :confval:`latex_use_xindy`, if ``True`` (default for
``xelatex/lualatex``), instructs ``make latexpdf`` to use :program:`xindy`
for general index. Make sure your LaTeX distribution includes it.
(refs: #5134)
* LaTeX: ``latexmk`` is required for ``make latexpdf`` on Windows
Incompatible changes
--------------------
1.8.0b2
* #5282: html theme: refer ``pygments_style`` settings of HTML themes
preferentially
* The URL of download files are changed
* #5127: quickstart: ``Makefile`` and ``make.bat`` are not overwritten if exists
1.8.0b1
* #5156: the :py:mod:`sphinx.ext.graphviz: extension runs `dot` in the
directory of the document being built instead of in the root directory of
the documentation.
* #4460: extensions which stores any data to environment should return the
version of its env data structure as metadata. In detail, please see
:ref:`ext-metadata`.
* Sphinx expects source parser modules to have supported file formats as
``Parser.supported`` attribute
* The default value of :confval:`epub_author` and :confval:`epub_publisher` are
changed from ``'unknown'`` to the value of :confval:`author`. This is same as
a ``conf.py`` file sphinx-build generates.
* The ``gettext_compact`` attribute is removed from ``document.settings``
object. Please use ``config.gettext_compact`` instead.
* The processing order on reading phase is changed. smart_quotes, sphinx
domains, :event:`doctree-read` event and versioning doctrees are invoked
earlier than so far. For more details, please read a description of
:py:meth:`.Sphinx.add_transform()`
* #4827: All ``substitution_definition`` nodes are removed from doctree on
reading phase
* ``docutils.conf`` in ``$HOME`` or ``/etc`` directories are ignored. Only
``docutils.conf`` from confdir is obeyed.

files.

:confval:`viewcode_follow_imported_members` (refs: #4035)

citations
* #4648: latex: Now "rubric" elements are rendered as unnumbered section title
* #4983: html: The anchor for productionlist tokens has been changed

* #5035: qthelp builder allows dashes in :confval:`qthelp_namespace`
* LaTeX: with lualatex or xelatex use by default :program:`xindy` as
UTF-8 able replacement of :program:`makeindex` (refs: #5134). After
upgrading Sphinx, please clean latex build repertory of existing project
before new build.
* #5163: html: hlist items are now aligned to top
* ``highlightlang`` directive is processed on resolving phase
* #4000: LaTeX: template changed. Following elements moved to it:
