RDoc v2.1.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2008-07-20 // almost 16 years ago
    • 3 Major Enhancements:
      • RDoc now knows about meta-programmed methods, see RDoc::Parser::Ruby
      • Reorganized parsers under RDoc::Parser base class
      • ri now walks the ancestors of a class looking for a method e.g. ri File#read displays documentation for IO#read (may require regeneration of ri data)
    • 5 Minor Enhancements:
      • Allow links to files
      • Default options now taken from RDOCOPT environment variable
      • Class method documentation can be found at toplevel now (def X.foo)
      • Allow HTML templates distributed as gems to be loaded with the -T option, just like the standard templates in rdoc/generator/html (so an HTML template lib/new_template.rb in a gem can be used with rdoc -T new_template)
