$Id: Release-1.2.0beta3 234145 2007-04-19 20:20:57Z ashnazg $ PhpDocumentor Version 1.2.0 BETA 3 ################################################################################ http://www.phpdoc.org Joshua Eichorn jeichorn@phpdoc.org Gregory Beaver cellog@php.net ################################################################################ ################################################################################ The phpDocumentor team would like to announce the release of phpDocumentor 1.2.0 BETA 3. This is a beta release and may have bugs and may have a different structure from the final release. This beta differs from 1.2.0Beta in that it should work from pear install PhpDocumentor, and has a few bugs fixed and a few extra features. for PEAR users, the new --pear command-line switch will be a boon. Leave it on by default if your package follows PEAR coding and directory naming standards IMPORTANT: phpDocumentor 1.2.0 BETA 3 requires PHP version 4.1.0 or greater. phpDocumentor will function best with PHP version 4.3.0 or greater, as it will use of the tokenizer extension if php 4.3.0 is installed for a tremendous increase in parsing speed. phpDocumentor is a JavaDoc-like automatic documentation generator for PHP written in PHP. It is the most versatile tool for documenting PHP. Once again, phpDocumentor brings a great increase in usability with the 1.2 branch. The addition of a tokenizer-based parser increases parsing speed by up to 4 times (that's 400% faster) compared to previous versions. In addition, scalability has been improved, allowing generation of documents in multiple output formats with one command. The usage of config files makes repetitive parsing tasks straightforward and reduces the chance for error. The addition of DocBlock templates, extended documentation (tutorials) parsing, and many other new features make this release the most useful automatic documentor for any programming language. The default HTML Converter has been ported to a new Smarty-based converter, HTMLframesConverter, and all of the old templates have been ported to the new Smarty-based format. The HTMLdefaultConverter has been deprecated since its functionality is redundant. Due to the time it takes to convert a template to the new format, the phpDocumentor team extends an offer to do this conversion for anyone who has a brand new template. We may also include the template in a future release, if permission is granted. Due to interest from PEAR programmers, there is a new beta-quality XML:DocBook converter with peardoc2 templates. This converter could also generate other DocBook formats, if desired, but does not generate indexing for this release. The PDF Converter has stepped up to beta-quality, is fully templatable, and has most bugs completely fixed. The CHM converter has also taken major strides and is close to beta quality. As predicted, the Smarty template engine is the primary template engine for all converters. For users new to phpDocumentor, phpDocumentor uses an event-driven parser and intermediary data structures that allow it to perform at a level other automatic documentors for PHP cannot achieve: --parsing any php file, with multiple classes and functions in the same file --fully compliant with even the most esoteric php syntax ($string = <<< EOF, for example) --ability to generate multiple output formats --extremely fast parsing --error/warnings by line number and file to allow for debugging of documentation tags --multiple output templates to easily customize the look of generated documentation --extensive documentation of the package, including a detailed specification for tags and the included template engine --open source, GPL A full listing of all closed bugs and feature requests can be found in the next section of the notes phpDocumentor 1.2.0BETA3 is not ready for production use documenting any PHP project, download it and try the most advanced solution for PHP documentation today to help us find the last persistent bugs. There are MANY in the new XML DocBook Converter. Please try it out and find them so we can begin to fix them. ################################################################################ The following bugs are fixed in version 1.2.0BETA3 [ 661317 ] PDF converter in subpackage ids broken [ 669945 ] CHM: "undefined function: convert()" with multiple outputs [ 670205 ] inherited methods have no links [ 670341 ]
