+ - Updated the project policies for trunk/branch development &
+ version numbering.
+
+* docutils/__init__.py:
+
+ - Added ``__version_details__`` attribute to describe code source
+ (repository/snapshot/release).
+ - Replaced ``default_transforms`` attribute of TransformSpec with
+ ``get_transforms()`` method.
+
+* docutils/core.py:

+ - Added ``serial_escape`` function; escapes string values that are
+ elements of a list, for serialization. Modified Docutils-XML
+ writing (``Element._dom_node``) and pseudo-XML writing
+ (``Element.starttag``) to use ``serial_escape``.

+ definitions for S5/HTML presentations.
+
+* docutils/parsers/rst/languages/ja.py: Added to project: Japanese
+ mappings by David Goodger.
+

+ moved into the packages. The stylesheets for the HTML writers are
+ now installed along with the code, the code knows where to find
+ them, and the default is to use them (actually, to embed them).

+ - Enabled traceback (exception propagation) by default in
+ programmatic convenience functions.
+ - Now publish_file and publish_cmdline convenience functions return
+ the encoded string results in addition to their regular I/O.
+ - Extracted common code from publish_file, publish_string, and
+ publish_parts, into new publish_programmatically. Extracted
+ settings code to ``Publisher.process_programmatic_settings``.
+ - In Publisher.publish, disabled ``settings_overrides`` when
+ ``settings`` is supplied; redundant.
+
+* docutils/frontend.py:
+
+ - Added help text for "--output-encoding-error-handler" and
+ "--error-encoding-error-handler".
+ - Renamed "--exit" to "--exit-status".

+ added to project.
+
+* docutils/writers/latex2e.py:

+ - figures get "here" option (LaTeX per default puts them at bottom),
+ and figure content is centered.
+ - Rowspan support for tables.
+ - Fix: admonition titles before first section.
+ - Replace ``--`` in literal by ``-{}-`` because fontencoding T1 has endash.
+ - Replave ``_`` in literal by an underlined blank, because it has the correct
+ width.
+ - Fix: encode pdfbookmark titles, ``#`` broke pdflatex.
+ - A few unicode replacements, if output_encoding != utf

+ Docutils client code, to be used as-is or as models for variations.
+
+* docutils/frontend.py:
+
+ - Added "--traceback" & "--no-traceback" options ("traceback"
+ setting).
+ - Implemented support for config file reorganization:
+ ``standard_config_files`` moved from ``ConfigParser`` to
+ ``OptionParser``; added
+ ``OptionParser.get_config_file_settings()`` and
+ ``.get_standard_config_settings()``; support for old "[options]"
+ section (with deprecation warning) and mapping from old to new
+ settings.

+ ``setattr``); thanks to Roman Suzi.
+ - Encapsulated visitor dynamic assignments in a function; thanks to
+ Ian Bicking.

+ Contributed by Edward Loper.
+
+* docutils/parsers/rst/states.py:
+
+ - Updated ``RSTState.nested_parse`` for "include" in table cells.
+ - Allowed true em-dash character and "---" as block quote
+ attribution marker.
+ - Added support for <angle-bracketed> complex option arguments
+ (option lists).
+ - Fixed handling of backslashes in substitution definitions.
+ - Fixed off-by-1 error with extra whitespace after substitution
+ definition directive.
+ - Added inline markup parsing to field lists' field names.
+ - Added support for quoted (and unindented) literal blocks.
+ Driven in part by a bribe from Frank Siebenlist (thanks!).
+ - Parser now handles escapes in URIs correctly.
+ - Made embedded-URIs' reference text omittable. Idea from Beni
+ Cherniavsky.
+ - Refactored explicit target processing code.
+ - Added name attribute to references containing the reference name only
+ through whitespace_normalize_name (no case changes).
+ - parse_target no longer returns the refname after going through
+ normalize_name. This is now handled in make_target.
+ - Fixed bug relating to role-less interpreted text in non-English
+ contexts.
+ - Reorganized interpreted text processing; moved code into the new
+ roles.py module. Contributed by Edward Loper.

+* docutils/parsers/rst/directives/images.py:
+
+ - Added "target" option to "image" directive.
+ - Added name attribute to references containing the reference name only
+ through whitespace_normalize_name (no case changes).
+
+* docutils/parsers/rst/directives/misc.py:
+
+ - Isolated the import of the ``urllib2`` module; was causing
+ problems on SourceForge (``libssl.so.2`` unavailable?).
+ - Added the "role" directive for declaring custom interpreted text
+ roles.
+
+* docutils/parsers/rst/directives/parts.py:
+
+ - The "contents" directive does more work up-front, creating the
+ "topic" and "title", and leaving the "pending" node for the
+ transform. Allows earlier reference resolution; fixes subtle bug.
+
+* docutils/parsers/rst/languages/af.py: Added to project; Afrikaans
+ mappings by Jannie Hofmeyr.
+
+* docutils/parsers/rst/languages/cs.py: Added to project; Czech
+ mappings by Marek Blaha.

+ "topic" and "title", and leaving the "pending" node for the
+ transform. Allows earlier reference resolution; fixes subtle bug.
+ - Added support for disabling of section numbering.
+
+* docutils/transforms/references.py:
+
+ - Verifying that external targets are truly targets and not indirect
+ references. This is because we are now adding a "name" attribute to
+ references in addition to targets. Note sure if this is correct!
+ - Added code to hook into the unknown_reference_resolvers list for a
+ transformer in resolve_indirect_target. This allows the
+ unknown_reference_resolvers to keep around indirect targets which
+ docutils doesn't know about.
+ - Added specific error message for duplicate targets.
+
+* docutils/transforms/universal.py:
+
+ - Added FilterMessages transform (removes system messages below the
+ verbosity threshold).
+ - Added hook (via docutils.TransformSpec.unknown_reference_resolvers)
+ to FinalCheckVisitor for application-specific handling of
+ unresolvable references.
+ - Added specific error message for duplicate targets.
+
+* docutils/writers/__init__.py:
+
+ - Added assemble_parts method to the Writer class to allow for
+ access to a documents individual parts.
+ - Documented & set default for ``Writer.output`` attribute.
+
+* docutils/writers/html4css1.py:
+
+ - Fixed unicode handling of attribute values (bug 760673).
+ - Prevent duplication of "class" attribute values (bug report from
+ Kirill Lapshin).
+ - Improved table grid/border handling (prompted by report from Bob
+ Marshall).
+ - Added support for table titles.
+ - Added "<title />" for untitled docs, for XHTML conformance; thanks
+ to Darek Suchojad.
+ - Added functionality to keep track of individual parts of a document
+ and store them in a dictionary as the "parts" attribute of the writer.
+ Contributed by Reggie Dugard at the Docutils sprint at PyCon DC 2004.
+ - Added proper support for the "scale" attribute of the "image"
+ element. Contributed by Brent Cook.
+ - Added ``--initial-header-level`` option.
+ - Fixed bug: the body_pre_docinfo segment depended on there being a
+ docinfo; if no docinfo, the document title was incorporated into
+ the body segment. Adversely affected the publish_parts interface.
+
+* docutils/writers/latex2e.py:
+
+ - Changed default stylesheet to "no stylesheet" to avoid latex complaining
+ about a missing file.
+ - Added options and support: ``--compound-enumerators``,
+ ``--section-prefix-for-enumerators``, and
+ ``--section-enumerator-separator``. By John F Meinel Jr (SF patch
+ 934322).
+ - Added option ``--use-verbatim-when-possible``, to avoid
+ problematic characters (eg, '~' in italian) in literal blocks.
+ - It's now possible to use four section levels in the `book` and
+ `report` LaTeX classes. The default `article` class still has
+ three levels limit.
+
+* docs/config.txt: "Docutils Configuration Files", added to project.
+ Moved config file entry descriptions from tools.txt.
+
+* docs/tools.txt:

+
+ - Added description of support for <angle-bracketed> complex option
+ arguments to option lists.
+ - Added subsections for indented and quoted literal blocks.
+
+* test: Continually adding & updating tests.
+
+ - Added test/test_settings.py & test/data/config_*.txt support
+ files.
+ - Added test/test_writers/test_htmlfragment.py.
+
+* test/DocutilsTestSupport.py:
+
+ - Refactored LaTeX publisher test suite/case class names to make
+ testing other writers easier.
+ - Added HtmlWriterPublishTestCase and HtmlFragmentTestSuite classes
+ to test the processing of HTML fragments which use the new
+ publish_parts convenience function.
+
+* tools/buildhtml.py:
+
+ - Added support for the "--prune" option.
+ - Removed dependency on pep2html.py; plaintext PEPs no longer
+ supported.
+
+* tools/docutils.conf:
+
+ - Updated for configuration file reorganization.
+
+* tools/rst2html.py:
+
+ - copied from tools/html.py
+

+Release 0.2 (2002-07-31)
+========================
+
+General:
+
+- The word "component" was being used ambiguously. From now on,
+ "component" will be used to mean "Docutils component", as in Reader,
+ Writer, Parser, or Transform. Portions of documents (Table of
+ Contents, sections, etc.) will be called "document parts".
+- Did a grand renaming: a lot of ``verylongnames`` became
+ ``very_long_names``.
+- Cleaned up imports: no more relative package imports or
+ comma-separated lists of top-level modules.
+- Added support for an option values object which carries default
+ settings and overrides (from command-line options and library use).
+- Added internal Unicode support, and support for both input and
+ output encodings.
+- Added support for the ``docutils.io.IO`` class & subclasses.
+
+Specific:
+
+* docutils/__init__.py:
+
+ - Added ``ApplicationError`` and ``DataError``, for use throughout
+ the package.
+ - Added ``Component`` base class for Docutils components; implements

+ command-line support.
+ - Added ``Publisher.process_command_line()`` and ``.set_options()``
+ methods.
+ - Reworked I/O model for ``docutils.io`` wrappers.
+ - Updated ``Publisher.set_options()``; now returns option values
+ object.
+ - Added support for configuration files (/etc/docutils.conf,
+ ./docutils.conf, ~/.docutils).
+ - Added ``Publisher.setup_option_parser()``.
+ - Added default usage message and description.
+
+* docutils/frontend.py: Added to project; support for front-end
+ (command-line) scripts. Option specifications may be augmented by
