--- Comment #9 from Krinkle <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #8) > So this appears to be installing a new package for a single line of code What code are you referring to? Assuming you mean the linked change by Siebranch in Gerrit in comment 0, you misunderstood. As I said in comment 6, that change is not relevant. That was a misinterpretation by Siebrand. The problem pointed out there wasn't a problem and even if it was, would NOT have been fixed by upgrading Doxygen. That change has been long merged, not blocked on this in any way. I've since repurposed this bug (as said in comment 6) because it was named exactly the same for what I needed. > I don't see a very compelling reason why this new package is better and that > is > possibly has regressions? If you would test this setup on labs with one new > instance versus one old instance to make sure nothing breaks and show that > there is a compelling reason to use the new package instead of the package > maintained on stable, that would be compelling. The reason to upgrade is related to pending change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/57905/. The problem is that Doxygen 1.7 has various bugs that are causing problems in our generated doxymentation. And there are various new features in 1.8 (such as the ability to escape characters). Right now it is not possible to mention something like "<img>" or "<script>" in PHP documentation, as Doxygen will render it on the doc pages as HTML, thus breaking the document flow. 1.8 introduces Markdown (instead of plain text with some annotations). This means we can use `backticks` (as I said before in comment 6) and inline annotations for emphasis. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
