      • Update to jQuery 1.7.1 and Underscore.js 1.3.1.
    • 🏗 Texinfo builder

      • An "Index" node is no longer added when there are no entries.
      • "deffn" categories are no longer capitalized if they contain capital letters.
      • desc_annotation nodes are now rendered.
      • strong and emphasis nodes are now formatted like literal\s. The reason for this is because the standard Texinfo markup (*strong* and _emphasis_) resulted in confusing output due to the common usage of using these constructs for documenting parameter names.
      • Field lists formatting has been tweaked to better display "Info field lists".
      • system_message and problematic nodes are now formatted in a similar fashion as done by the text builder.
      • "en-dash" and "em-dash" conversion of hyphens is no longer performed in option directive signatures.
      • @ref is now used instead of @pxref for cross-references which prevents the word "see" from being added before the link (does not affect the Info output).
      • The @finalout command has been added for better TeX output.
      • transition nodes are now formatted using underscores ("_") instead of asterisks ("*").
      • The default value for the paragraphindent has been changed from 2 to 0 meaning that paragraphs are no longer indented by default.
      • #1110: A new configuration value texinfo_no_detailmenu has been added for controlling whether a @detailmenu is added in the "Top" node's menu.
      • Detailed menus are no longer created except for the "Top" node.
      • Fixed an issue where duplicate domain indices would result in invalid output.
    • 🏗 LaTeX builder:

      • PR#115: Add 'transition' item in latex_elements for customizing how transitions are displayed. Thanks to Jeff Klukas.
      • PR#114: The LaTeX writer now includes the "cmap" package by default. The 'cmappkg' item in latex_elements can be used to control this. Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev.
      • The 'fontpkg' item in latex_elements now defaults to '' when the :confval:language uses the Cyrillic script. Suggested by Dmitry Shachnev.
      • The latex_documents, texinfo_documents, and man_pages configuration values will be set to default values based on the :confval:master_doc if not explicitly set in :file:conf.py. Previously, if these values were not set, no output would be generated by their respective builders.
    • Internationalization:

      • Add i18n capabilities for custom templates. For example: The Sphinx reference documentation in doc directory provides a sphinx.pot file with message strings from doc/_templates/*.html when using make gettext.
      • PR#61,#703: Add support for non-ASCII filename handling.
    • 🏗 Other builders:

      • Added the Docutils-native XML and pseudo-XML builders. See :class:XMLBuilder and :class:PseudoXMLBuilder.
      • PR#45: The linkcheck builder now checks #anchor\ s for existence.
      • PR#123, #1106: Add epub_use_index configuration value. If provided, it will be used instead of html_use_index for epub builder.
      • PR#126: Add epub_tocscope configuration value. The setting controls the generation of the epub toc. The user can now also include hidden toc entries.
      • PR#112: Add epub_show_urls configuration value.
    • Extensions:

      • PR#52: special_members flag to autodoc now behaves like members.
      • PR#47: Added :mod:sphinx.ext.linkcode extension.
      • PR#25: In inheritance diagrams, the first line of the class docstring is now the tooltip for the class.
    • Command-line interfaces:

      • PR#75: Added --follow-links option to sphinx-apidoc.
      • #869: sphinx-build now has the option -T for printing the full traceback after an unhandled exception.
      • sphinx-build now supports the standard --help and --version options.
      • sphinx-build now provides more specific error messages when called with invalid options or arguments.
      • sphinx-build now has a verbose option -v which can be repeated for greater effect. A single occurrence provides a slightly more verbose output than normal. Two or more occurrences of this option provides more detailed output which may be useful for debugging.
