Upcoming Next Release

  • Fixed using introduction @shortTitle (Michalis)
  • Fixed skipping UTF-8 BOM for various text files other than Pascal source (introduction, conclusion, CSS, HTML header/footer, include file) (Michalis)
  • Fixed resolving relative paths from introduction/conclusion (Michalis)
  • Fixed parsing unit implementation with "begin" instead of "initialization" (Michalis)
  • Fixed parsing unit implementation inline var (Fr0sT-Brutal)
  • Improved SimpleXML output (Michalis):
    • properly separate "name" from "declaration" for <variable>, <constant>, <type>
    • separate <label> inside <item> for definition lists
    • <function> -> more general <routine>
    • nested structures (CIOs) and simple types inside other CIOs are now output
  • New PHP output, generates a map to find/enumerate Pascal identifiers present in HTML output (Michalis)
  • Manpages for pasdoc, pascal_pre_proc, file_to_pascal_data and file_to_pascal_string (Suve)
  • Show ancestor description for a routine or class, when it missed its own description. Scans ancestor class and interfaces and generates nice HTML output with ancestor descriptions. (Elliot Hillary)
  • Expose in pasdoc GUI options to request Markdown and "automatic back comments" (Ayeseeem)
  • Fixes and improvements to Markdown support - add analog to @link tag [Descr](#Item) (Fr0sT-Brutal)
  • Fixed spellchecking using Aspell, in previous version we didn't pass language arguments to aspell correctly
  • Overloaded methods are now accounted for better (Elliot Hillary):
    • When using @link, you can link to a particular overload like @link(MyRoutine(Integer, String)) or @link(MyRoutine(Single)) instead of just @link(MyRoutine).
    • When generating HTML anchors, we add parameter types, so that each overloaded routine has a different anchor. This makes internal links (from @link, from internal tables) in the generated HTML output correct.
  • Type helpers are now parsed and documented (Johann Elsass aka circular17)
  • Much more complete expression evaluation for $if / $elseif (functions, subexpressions, negation, comparison, addition, multiplication) (Johann Elsass aka circular17)
  • Ability to define macros on command-line like "-D FPC_FULLVERSION:=30202" that will be used for both regular Pascal code and in $if / $elseif evaluation (Johann Elsass aka circular17)

  • Moved everything to GitHub
  • Ancestors list is now affected by external class hierarchy (Michalis)

  • @url tag (Bi0T1N)
  • Allow to lowercase output of @nil, @false, @true by --lowercase-keywords (Bi0T1N)
  • Automatically detect flag like [xxx] at @param description. See here for example. (PifPof)
  • Scan implementation section of a unit in addition to the interface section (Fr0sT-Brutal)
  • Parser improvements to correctly handle some special cases: reading chars > $FF, "*.inc" includes, files with Mac-style line endings (Fr0sT-Brutal)
  • Mem leaks fixed (Fr0sT-Brutal)
  • Tag parameters now could be multiline without enclosing parens by means of "line feed" character "" (Fr0sT-Brutal)
  • Read additional command-line options from file (Fr0sT-Brutal)
  • --auto-back-comments command-line option (Fr0sT-Brutal)

  • Added de.utf8 (German with UTF-8 encoding)
  • Automatically remove %region and %endregion from comments
  • Show visibility (public, protected, private...) inside records too (it is meanigful for advanced records)
  • Implement in pasdoc_gui options to (Michalis)
    • customize HTML head and body
    • set external descriptions file
    • configure identifiers excluded from auto-linking
  • Rename "internal" to "nested" to describe this language feature. Because that is how it's called in official docs ( http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Tokyo/en/Nested_Type_Declarations, https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse41.html ) and the "internal" word has traditionally different meaning ("something not supposed to be visible/used from the outside"). (Michalis)
  • The automatic tests are now easier to run and check (see tests/README.md) (Michalis)
  • @raises and @param is now supported at properties as well as methods. Actually, it's supported everywhere now, but it makes sense only at properties and methods now. (Michalis)
  • Tipue (client-side search) improvements:
    • we have upgraded to use Tipue 6.1, which highlights the found terms
    • we strip HTML from Tipue index, which makes the "search results" page correct

  • HTML output is now HTML5.
  • Add our tools to the binary release: pascal_pre_proc (Pascal preprocessor), file_to_pascal_data, file_to_pascal_string.
  • Improve CSS and HTML, in particular for accessibility and mobile browsers. Among many improvements, we removed fixed font size in pixels, changed some tables into divs, and fixed HTML validity around Tipue search box.
  • pasdoc_gui uses now default font size on your system.
  • Updated Spanish (Spain) translation (by Guillermo Martínez Jiménez)
  • Tipue works now more efficiently -- the (potentially large) "index data" is only loaded on the "Search Results" page.
  • Automatic tests rearrangements and simplifications (see tests/run_all_tests.sh).

Authors: Michalis Kamburelis and contributors mentioned above (thank you!).

Authors: features above not explicitly marked by author were done by Michalis Kamburelis.

Version 0.10.0 (2005-11-26)

  • Dashes rules: em-dash, en-dash, short dash, "@-"
  • FPC macros are now correctly parsed by pasdoc.
  • Each detailed description in HTML output is enclosed within gray frame
  • Various fixes. E.g.
    • --spell-check-ignore-words works now.
    • @links to @anchors and @sections work always now.
  • Many improvements to pasdoc_gui (by Richard B. Winston and Michalis)
  • Back comments

Some compatibility had to be broken:

  • New dashes rules break compatibility. But actually previous behavior with regards to dashes was broken, because "-" was just always directly copied to output. So previously in HTML "-" always meant just a short dash (there was no way to write en-dash or em-dash). And in LaTeX "---"/"--"/"-" meant em-dash/en-dash/short dash, but there was no way to escape it (i.e. there was no "@-" construct).
  • Back-comments feature breaks compatibility if you have comments that have as their exact 1st character "<". Now they will be interpreted as back-comments (assigned to previous item with "<" stripped). To fix your docs, just add a space inside such problematic comment right before "<".

Authors: features above not explicitly marked by author were done by Michalis Kamburelis.

Version 0.9.0 (2005-07-09)

End-user visible changes:

  • Cache is now independent from output format
  • Many fixes and improvements to HTML output, it's now structured a little more consistently, it's more configurable by CSS, it's 100% conforming HTML 4.01 Transitional.
  • Many fixes and improvements to LaTeX output, it's also structured more consistently, and it doesn't omit undocumented items (see the bottom of [https://pasdoc.github.io/WritingDocumentation]).
  • @longcode improvements: it's now formatted in LaTeX output, the look of float and hex values inside @longcode in HTML output is configurable by CSS.
  • Parsing improvements:
    • Better full declaration of items is now displayed in documentation
    • FPC overloaded operators are now parsed
    • Delphi hint directives (deprecated, platform, library) are now parsed
  • You don't have to enclose tag parameters in parenthesis
  • Many many other small fixes and improvements.

Many internal improvements, like:

  • We maintain a large set of tests (regression tests, conformance tests etc.), see tests/README.md

Documentation: You can find the most complete and up-to-date documentation of pasdoc features on our website. Unfortunately, with pasdoc 0.9.0, offline documentation (previously in docs/ directory of released archives) is no longer provided, this is intended to be fixed in future releases (see [https://pasdoc.github.io/ToDoOfflineDocs]).

Some compatibility had to be broken:

Authors: many. See @author tags at the beginning of pasdoc 0.9.0 units.

  • write complete known hierarchy in class descriptions
  • remove calling hhc.exe, you should do this from a script
  • fixed HTML-Help output
  • fixed numeric name creation wrt. cross-links (there was a rather BAD bug, now all numbers are sequential too!)

Version 0.8.7 (2003-04-20)

Authors: Johannes Berg/Thomas Mueller

Based on Ralf Junker's changes, I did the following:

  • added enumerated type parsing
  • made work with FPC
  • records (handled like classes),
    • case statements in records
    • nested records
  • spell-checker for linux (currently disabled, use an older CVS file of RunHelp to use under Kylix, will not work in FPC, need advice)
  • new option-parser
  • uses delphi streams instead of files. Supposedly does not work on all platforms FPC runs on - need advice
  • commentmarker (for example only {: comments )
  • declarations like "var a: function(x,y,z:Integer):Integer cdecl = nil" are parsed correctly
  • dependency plotting with GraphViz (AT&T ) (not very useful)
  • uses clause will be included in doc (optional)
  • links "http://", "ftp://" etc. are recognized automatically
  • varargs directive
  • abbreviations "@author(johannes)" can be expanded to @author(Johannes Berg <...>) via abbreviatons file
  • @cvs($Date ...$), @cvs($Author ...$) is recognized and used for lastmod / author
    • duplicate authors skipped
  • name search doesn't look into classes any more, if a method reference is needed outside the current class then the class has to be specified: @link(class.method) (faster and less error-prone)
  • HTML output uses unitname.classname.html instead of numbers, but has option to make number-only-filenames (for short-name filesystems)
  • class member visibility can be specified in output
  • long option names (see PasDoc --help)
  • images are no longer carried in a .RES file but in include files instead, as constants in code, for FPC

Some time inbetween... (0.6.21 to 0.8.6)

Authors: Ralf Junker

Version 0.6.20 (2000-04-20)

  • added Rodrigo Jardim's translations of pasdoc's output to Brasilian Portuguese; new switch -b (and --brasilian)
  • increased STEP from 32 to 128 when reallocating description pointers, this makes pasdoc crash less with RTE 216; bug must still be fixed by changing GetMem's default behaviour

Authors: Marco Schmidt

Version 0.6.19 (2000-04-17)

  • fixed bug that prevented pasdoc from skipping code until an $else conditional directive (thanks to Michael v. Canneyt for reporting this bug)

Authors: Marco Schmidt

  • worked on external description file loading
  • email addresses in author tags are now displayed as mailto links in HTML output
  • hard-coded HTML colors in body element (already added colors for tables etc., as long as the whole thing is not CSS-based, it's better to have all colors defined so that unusual default colors of a browser won't ruin the overall impression)
  • released 0.6.15

Authors: Marco Schmidt

Version 0.6.13 (2000-04-08)

  • released 0.6.13

Authors: Marco Schmidt

Version 0.6.13 (2000-04-06)

  • fixed bug that made pasdoc ignore a unit that has ). in a type declaration; in scanning.pas, ). was supposed to be a replacement for ] while it must be .)
  • empty author tags are now ignored
  • fixed LaTeX bug that kept pasdoc from converting identifiers that were not found in the list of items to output format style

Authors: Marco Schmidt

Version 0.6.13 (2000-04-05)

Authors: Marco Schmidt

Version 0.6.11 (2000-04-04)

  • moved objects.pas to directory 'other'; will now use default objects unit from FPC
  • for the time being, I stop trying to compile pasdoc with Delphi, there is some bug I am unable to trace; Delphi 5 compiles pasdoc without problems but crashes when running it on appinfo.pas between the second and third constant for no apparent reason; I will try to fix bugs that are more obvious in the near future...
  • fixed bug that made default keyword after a property appear as a field of that class (thanks to Andre Jager for pointing this out)
  • fixed bug that made pasdoc crash on an empty author tag: @author() (thanks to Michael Hess for finding and isolating (!) this!)
  • made pasdoc skip property declaration; property parsing needs some work, I will do this soon
