# vi: spell ff=unix Jun 2007 - V4.99.34 Gergely Budai added option --header_breaks, which allows ROBODoc to insert line breaks after every specified number of header names to improve readability. Frans Slothouber o Merged path by Tom Keal that Fixes bug in parsing of the robodoc.rc file. (The wrong number of items is recorded for the preformatted_items and format_items block.) Apr 2007 - V4.99.32 o Fixed bug 1706446, --sectionnameonly and --rtf format problem o Fixed bug 1679101, "robodoc crashed on a faulty header". o Added the option --no_subdirectories. o output mode pipes at the end of an item don't result in broken formatting anymore. o Items that start with non-ascii characters are now recognized. o makefile.plain works again o the item names in the 'item order', 'ignore items', and other items blocks in the robodoc.rc file are checked against the list of allowed item names. o the options --sections and --toc do no longer lead to an assert() with --ascii o Added item sorting. The order in which items are to appear in the documentation can be specified in the robodoc.rc file. Feb 2007 - V4.99.30 Frans Slothouber o Removed form-feed from ASCII output o Applied patch from Christian Vigh to make ROBODoc compile under MSVC++ V7 o Applied patch from Wim van Hoydonck to fix a bug in the escaping of '_' in the names internal artifacts for LaTeX output. o Fixed makefile.plain o ROBODoc compiles without warnings using make -f makefile.plain Gergely Budai o Using bitfields in stead of and-ing with a define. o Function name separator can be configured to be something different than ',' o Added a configuration block that allows the used to specify which items are pre-formatted by default.

May 2004 - V4.99.0 o Fixed XML DocBook output, it appears that 4.0.24 created invalid XML files. o Added smart formatting. Instead of using preformatted text, that is copying the header text verbatim into the output document, ROBODoc tries to determine the structure of the text from the indentation and use of special characters. For instance This is a list: o list item 1, o list item 2. Will be translated into the appropriate commands to create a similar list in the output format. May 2004 - V4.0.25 Frans Slothouber o Added --headless and --footless option to create documents that can be included into large documents. (Works for LaTeX and HTML). May 2004 - V4.0.24 Frans Slothouber o Added --nosort option o With the define IGNORE_CASE_FILENAMES one can make robodoc case-insensitve when it comes to filenames. o Fixed bug [924530] False warning with empty lines o Fixed bug [925920] broken robodoc.rc file; robodoc ignored end markers or remark markers if there was no header marker block.

February 2004 - V4.0.21 Frans Slothouber o Added navigation bar for every header. It allows one to jump to the parent header, the top of the document, and the index when available. o ROBODoc will continue parsing the other headers if it finds a header it can not parse. o Better formatted warnings. o The sourcefile index is now always sorted o Everything is sorted according to a non case sensitive string compare. January 2004 - V4.0.19 Frans Slothouber o Fixed bug 874567 No crosslinks for names that start with '-' o Fixed bug 875533 No bolding for names starting with :: o Added configurable header markers, remark markers, and end markers. ROBODoc is now usable with _any_ language. Hermann Hueni o Fixed broken configure on Solaris. January 2004 - V4.0.18 Frans Slothouber o Update of the user manual and documentation o Note that: If you were using an 'extensions:' block in your robodoc.rc file, you have to replace this with an 'ignore files:' block with all extensions prefixed with '*'. So, if you were using extensions: .txt .obj replace this with ignore files: *.txt *.obj December 2003 - V4.0.17 Frans Slothouber o Added directory tree shaped master index for the sourcefiles. o Added filtering of files and directories based on wildcard expressions. Michael Felke o Support for lotus script, clean-up of headers.c and headers.h December 2003 - V4.0.15 Frans Slothouber o Added support for DB/C December 2003 - V4.0.14 John Rouillard o Bug fix. no index file was generated for headertypes of which there were only internal headers.

This Doc directory is skipped while robodoc scans for sourcefiles. o Added headermarker !**** for Fortran o ROBODoc now warns if it finds something that looks like an item name but is not in the list of item names. This catches spelling mistakes like NAEM, IMPUTS, VALEU, etc o Fixed bug 830868 no error message for misspelled options o Fixed bug 767034 a slash at the end of a path confuses robodoc o Fixed bug 772213 assert fires if header is not closed o Added user configurable header types (section "header types" in robodoc.rc file). o Added lock mode (--lock). Per source file robodoc locks on the first headermarker it finds and will recognize only that particular headermarker for the remaining part of the file. In addition it locks on the first remark marker in each header and will recognize only that particular remark marker for the remaining part of the header. Petteri Kettunen o First implementation of piping in generator.c September 2003 - V4.0.11 Frans Slothouber o Added a table for header types. This will allow custom header types. o The master index table for HTML output is split up in several pages. One for each header type.

March 2002 - Frans Slothouber (V3.2.4Beta2) o More unittests o Documentation update o Added automatic detection of file:/ o Merged back the changes by Sasha Vasko.after I had accidently deleted them when merging the DocBook changes. o Indented most of the sourcecode. March 2002 - Frans Slothouber (V3.2.4Beta1) o Documentation updates. o added a target docclean in the makefile in Source/ to clean all temporary files. o updated documentation o added testframework August 2001 DCD Changes - V3.2.4 with docbook support: o Added support for Docbook SGML - Robodoc can now produce output in Docbook SGML using the DBSGML command line switch, allowing standardized conversion to a host of formats including HTML (single and multiple), RTF, ASCII, LATEX, and PDF. Docbook also allows you to use external style sheets in which you can change the look of your document. See www.docbook.org for more on DocBook o Added -rh switch which causes Robodoc to scan for a single header defined as *ROBODOC* (char *robo_header) instead of header_markers and uses *ROBODOC_END* as the end marker. This prevents problems with Robodoc becoming confused with normal comments uing *. It is particularly helpful in scanning PHP source. It will only work with languages that support multiline c-style comments o Added -nt switch. Only used in DBSGML mode when creating a master index. This causes Robodoc to list the Master Index functions as a section 3 level item rather than as part of a table. o Added genrd, a Unix bash shell script which simplifies the use of Robodoc when generating documents from multiple source files and when creating crossreferences and a master index. Whole directories and subdirectories of source code can be scanned and documented with a one line statement rather than having to construct a makefile or using multiple robodoc statements. See genrd -h for more info. Sepetember 2000 - Frans Slothouber (V3.2.3) o Added a descrip.mms file for compilation under VMS o make install installs additional documentation. o Fixed a bug that caused links of the type "someword/anotherword," to be ignored, while "someword/anotherword" was recognized. July 2000 - Frans Slothouber (V3.2.2) o Documentation explains how to use ROBODoc when your sources are in several subdirectories. o Documentation explains master index file for LaTeX, how to view the generated documentation, and the new options, NOSOURCE, SINGLEDOC and TITLE. o example makefile includes commands to view the generated documentation. o Updated the man page o Added option SINGLEDOC For LaTeX output this generates documentation without the start and end headers. This way the generated file can be included in a master file. o Added master index file for LaTeX output. The documentation gathered from several source files can now be included into one big file. o Added the option NOSOURCE. With this option the SOURCE item is not included in the documentation. o Added the TITLE option. This allows to set the title for the master index file. o Made the search for headermarkers case insensitve. REM == Rem == rem December 1999 - v3.1f o added RB_TimeStamp() to include time stamps in the documentation. o Documentation is now generated in LaTeX2e format. o added '|****' as begin marker, '|' as remark marker and '|***' as end marker for GNU assembler support. o ran ident on all source. Using the GNU standard now. o Added new fold markers provided by Petteri December 1999 - Frans Slothouber (v3.1e) o Moved the C example in Examples to Examples/C o Added an C++ example in Examples/CPP o Added empty headers for C++ in Headers/ o More documentation. o added markers for HTML. o modified the RB_Find_Link() function to also words that include "::". This is used for C++ methods. o added a RB_Function_Name() function that correctly extracts the function name (or the name of any other object that is documented) from the header name. The old code used RB_FilePart which failed on C++ method names. o Fixed a core-dumping bug in RB_Set_Doc_Base() December 1999 - Frans Slothouber (v3.1d) o Added list of possible item names to the robodoc man page. o Added list of possible header types to the robodoc man page. o Updated manual with information on the generation of the master index file and new header types. o added new header types for, classes, methods, variables, functions, strutures and constants. (Idea of Stefan Kost) o added a command to create a master index file that contains sorted pointers to all classes, methods, variables, functions, strutures and constants. December 1999 - Frans Slothouber (v3.1c) o Added testheader.c for debug purposes. o Split the source code into serveral files. o Fixed numerous typos in the documentation. o Using m4 to create the html documentation (for table of contents ect). o Added cross links between the documentation and examples. From patches that I received from Stefan Kost o renamed BEAST METHODS -> METHODS o renamed BEAST ATTRIBUTES -> ATTRIBUTES o added new items useful for object oriented programming; some of these items are already used in os3.1 autodocs TAGS, COMMANDS, DERIVED FROM, DERIVED BY, USES, CHILDREN, USED BY, PARENTS, USAGE, PURPOSE o commented the item names o changed item-type enums to end all with _ITEM o changed RB_Find_Link to accept names ending with '...' o changed copyright comment to be a style-guide conform version string. o changed RB_VER[] to be a style-guide conform version string o changed AMIGA into _AMIGA, because the first one does not exists, when compiling with NOANSI on SAS C/C++ November 1999 - Frans Slothouber (v3.1b) o Added a man page o Cleaned-up html documentation. o is generated at the beginning of each document. A mention of the source code name in another document creates a link to this name (provided you use xrefs). o Moved most #defines and enums to robodoc.h o Made ROBODoc more forgiving in reading the xrefs file. Empty lines are allowed and also spaces at the end of a file name. August 1999 - Frans Slothouber: v3.1 o Added GPL licence o Added INSTALL, README, and TODO o Converted the documentation to HTML o Spell-checked all documentation o More documentation and a more informative usage() function. o robodoc -c prints licence o removed a number of Source items from the documentation to reduce the size of the robodoc.c.html file... no fun for people to download a >100k file. o removed the warning about not using a robodoc default file. o indent -orig -i2 -nbc -ncdb -bad -bap o Fixed the warnings. o Fixed some occurrences of (evil cast)malloc (thou shalt not cast malloc :) o ROBODoc now returns EXIT_FAILURE or EXIT_SUCCESS, as defined in o Fixed a memory leak in RB_Analyse_Document() Modifications by Petteri Kettunen August 1999 - v3.0m+ o Support for folding in SOURCE items, HTML only. o indent -kr o Added options FOLD and C Modifications by Petteri Kettunen Feb 1999 - v3.0m o Changed background color to white o Changed size of Table of Contents title. (H3 instead of H1) o The reverse function also reversed the sorted header list, fixed this. Modifications by FNC Slothouber. Feb-1999 - v3.0l * Added function to reverse the header list. 14-Aug-1998 - v3.0k * Tcl/Tk '#' handling added; Modifications by agi 15-Dec-1997 - v3.0j o cleaned the HTML-output, so it now conforms to the DTD for HTML-3.2 o TOC now is an ordered list (
    and
  1. ) o added "" o added quotes to values of some HTML-attributes o more compatible implementation of the SGML-comment containing copyright-info replaced all occurrences of
    .. by 
    
      o replaced 

    by
