YARD v0.9.6 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-01-07 // over 7 years ago
    • ✂ Removed official support for Ruby 1.x (1.8/1.9). YARD can still be installed in these versions, but support is not guaranteed. Simple bug fixes may still be considered via pull request only. Issues without code will be automatically closed.
    • ➕ Added {YARD::Tags::Tag#explain_types} returning a plain English summary of the type specification of a given tag. Also adds {YARD::Tags::TypesExplainer} as an implementation class for the method.
    • ➕ Added support for automatic linking of constants and method calls of Ruby syntax highlighted source code in generated HTML. Also adds the {YARD::Parser::Ruby::TokenResolver} implementation class to iterate over tokenized code with extra resolved object information.
    • ➕ Added support for compound constant assignments (A::B::C = true).
    • Added LibraryVersion#yardoc_file_for_SOURCE callback method for sources with a pre-determined yardoc file location. Implement this method instead of manually setting library.yardoc_file = ... in your load method (you can still assign the attribute manually).
    • 💎 Use RubyGems 2.x+ API to query gems when available instead of using backport.
    • 🛠 Various bug fixes
