June 18, 2002 RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT phpDocumentor version 1.1.0rc2 http://www.phpdoc.org Download: http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net/downloads.php
The phpDocumentor Development team would like to announce the release of phpDocumentor version 1.1.0rc2. This is a release candidate for 1.1.0 to ensure that all bugs have been fixed before release phpDocumentor is the most advanced auto-documentation system available for PHP. Similar to the auto-documentor included with PEAR, phpDocumentor parses documentation comments in the PHP source to create hyperlinked API references for projects. With 1.1.0rc2 the pre-alpha PDF Converter is greatly improved. In addition, a new HTML converter that uses the Smarty template engine (http://smarty.php.net) and has no frames is available. A pre-alpha CHM converter is also included, which requires MS HTML Help Workshop, but works. Through the use of "Converters" similar to JavaDoc's doclets, phpDocumentor can interface parsing output to any template with minimal coding. In addition, 6 HTML templates come with the standard HTML Converter Other features include: --all known bugs in 1.1.0rc1 have been fixed --fully 25% faster than version 1.0.0 --able to directly parse a CVS repository --parses any php file, with multiple classes and functions in the same file --fully compliant with even the most esoteric php syntax ($string = <<< EOF, for example) --greatly improved ease of Converter programming --parsing of global and static variables --documentation of name conflicts between packages --auto-linking to elements in any package --error/warnings by line number and file to allow for debugging of documentation tags --extensive documentation of the package, including a detailed specification for tags and templates --open source, GPL phpDocumentor is fast becoming the standard auto-documentor, and is used by several PHP projects including PostNuke Content Management (http://www.postnuke.com), phpRPC (http://phprpc.sourceforge.net/), and XMap (http://opensource.under.com.br/xmap/docs/) To Download, go to http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net/downloads.php The phpDocumentor development team Joshua Eichorn Gregory Beaver -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
