RDoc v2.2.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2008-09-24 // over 15 years ago
  • ๐Ÿ›  This version provides some minor fixes and enhancements to 2.2.0 intended ๐Ÿ’… to polish RDoc for Ruby 1.9.1.

    • 3 Minor Enhancements

      • Support for parsing RDoc from SWIG. Ruby patch #10742 by Gonzalo Garramuno, #13993 by Steven Jenkins.
      • Simple support for Perl POD documentation. Patch by Hugh Sasse.
      • Changed the default character set of RDoc's output from iso-8859-1 to utf-8.
    • ๐Ÿ›  9 Bug Fixes

      • Explicitly set the html template's text color, so that the generated documentation will display correctly on browsers with custom text and background color settings (patch by Luther Thompson).
      • Ensure that RDoc correctly will associate an alias and a method, even if it encounters the alias first because the alias lives in a different file.
      • Fix the parsing of multiline constants (patch by Chris Alfeld and Joel VanderWerf)
      • Make --exclude usuable. Ruby patch #11671 by Trans.
      • Detect inline C functions. Ruby Bug #11993 by Florian Frank.
      • Fix an issue in which RDoc might not document a class' superclass correctly if the class was defined in multiple files and depending on the order in which RDoc processed the files. This should ensure that the child class -> parent class relationship is correct in ri documentation, allowing ri to lookup inherited methods (i.e., File.read).
      • Stop ri from crashing when it looks for a completely bogus method (i.e., File#reada). Now, ri exits with a helpful error message.
      • Fixed missing display of constant values in ri.
      • Fixed display of constants in ri's html output.
