0.7.1

Bug fixes

  • In 0.5.0, we announced that README.qmd wouldn't be automatically rendered,
    but this still happened when output = "quarto_website". This is now fixed,
    meaning that altdoc uses README.md over README.qmd (#354).

  • Figures stored in man/figures and used in the README are now properly
    displayed (#354).

  • Fix for change of default value of getOption("help.htmltoc") in R-devel
    4.6.0 (#356).

0.7.0

New features

  • When using mkdocs as documentation generator, the Python virtual environment
    to be used can now be set with the environment variable ALTDOC_VENV. It
    doesn't have to be .venv_altdoc located at the project root anymore (#339).

  • render_docs() now updates the file altdoc/pkgdown.yml. This file was also
    adapted so that it can be used by R-universe to display a link to the package
    website (#344).

Bug fixes

  • When using mkdocs as documentation generator, changes in settings such as
    overrides templates or CSS files are now correctly applied to docs/index.html.
    Previously, it was required to manually delete the file and run render_docs()
    again (#337).

Misc

  • Fix errors in CRAN checks occurring when Quarto isn't available on the system.

altdoc 0.6.0

0.6.0

Changes

  • The CSS for arguments table in "Reference" page has changed a bit. Argument
    names are now wrapped so that they have limited width, improving the
    readability in case of multiple arguments on the same line (#308).

  • Files stored in man/figures (such as lifecycle badges) are now properly
    included by render_docs() (#321).

Bug fixes

  • Fix a quarto_website rendering failure when the package being rendered has
    its URL or BugReports set to a site other than GitHub (#319, @gardiners).

  • Fix footer in docsify when a package doesn't have a website or GitHub URL
    (#324).

  • render_docs() now shows an explicit error message if Quarto is not installed
    on the system (#329).

  • Fix an error in render_docs() when the title in the Rd file is split across
    several lines (#333).

altdoc 0.5.0

Breaking changes

  • Do not render README.qmd to markdown automatically. Users should render them manually to make sure that the README on CRAN and Github is in sync with the Altdoc home page.

Other changes

  • README.qmd is no longer required to create a quarto_website, only
    README.md (#295).

Bug fixes

  • Fix some failures in CRAN checks (#303).

altdoc 0.4.0

23 Jul 21:16

Choose a tag to compare

Breaking changes

  • Simplified rendering for Quarto websites. Previously, the website was rendered
    into _quarto/_site and manually copied over to docs/. The new version removes
    this logic and instead uses the output-dir project option. To transition, change
    quarto_website.yml to:
    project:
      output-dir: ../docs/

New features

  • render_docs(freeze = TRUE) now works correctly when output is "quarto_website".
    Freezing a document needs to be set either at a project or per-file level. To do
    so, add to either quarto_website.yml or the frontmatter of a file:

    execute:
      freeze: auto
  • For Quarto websites, render_docs() can use the downlit package to automatically
    link function calls to their documentation on the web. Turn off by modifying
    the code-link line in altdoc/quarto_website.yml

  • Citation is now formatted with HTML instead of verbatim (#282, Achim Zeileis).

  • The \doi{} tags in Rd files are now linked once rendered (#282, Achim Zeileis).

  • Warn if README.qmd does not exist when calling setup_docs("quarto_website"). Issue #280.

Other changes

  • Update github-pages-deploy-action to v4
  • Support @examplesIf tag in roxygen2

altdoc 0.3.0

21 Feb 16:07

Choose a tag to compare

0.3.0

All functions have changed so any change listed below technically is a breaking
change.

Breaking changes

  • Functions renamed:

    • use_docute(), use_docsify() and use_mkdocs() are combined into setup_docs()
    • update_docs() -> render_docs()
    • preview() -> preview_docs()
  • setup_docs() (previously use_*()) no longer updates and previews the website
    by default.

  • custom_reference argument is removed. See the Post-processing vignette for
    a description of the new proposed workflow.

  • theme argument is removed. Users can change themes by editing settings files
    in altdoc/

  • mkdocs documentation is no longer stored in docs/docs/

New features

  • Support Quarto websites as a documentation format.

  • Support Quarto vignettes (.qmd) in the vignettes/ folder.

  • render_docs(parallel = TRUE) uses future to parallelize the rendering of
    vignettes and man pages.

  • render_docs(freeze = TRUE) no longer renders vignettes or man pages when they
    have not changed and are already stored in docs/.

  • Link to source code at the top of function reference.

  • Settings files are now permanently stored in the altdoc/ directory. These
    files can be edited manually to customize the website.

  • Major internal changes to the .Rd -> .md conversion system. We now use Quarto
    to convert man pages and execute examples, and the man pages are stored in
    separate markdown files instead of combined in a single large file.

  • mkdocs now behaves like the other documentation generators and stores its
    files in docs/. This means that mkdocs websites can be deployed to Github
    Pages.

  • Improved vignettes

  • Do not reformat markdown header levels automatically, but raise a warning when
    there is more than one level 1 header.

  • Fewer dependencies.

  • Fix parsing for issue/PR references like [org/repo#111].

  • Changelog and News sections can be present simultaneously.

  • Support for NEWS.Rd, either in the root folder or in inst/

  • Automatically create a Github Actions workflow with setup_github_actions().

  • Skip .Rd files when they document internal functions.

altdoc 0.2.2

08 Nov 08:32

  • If necessary, two spaces are automatically added in nested lists in the NEWS
    (or Changelog) file.

  • This is the last release before a large rework of this package.

altdoc 0.2.1

12 Jun 08:35

  • Fix test failures on CRAN due to the new version of usethis
    (see cynkra/fledge#683).

altdoc 0.2.0

30 May 20:16

Choose a tag to compare

Breaking changes

  • Vignettes are no longer automatically added to the file that defines the structure
    of the website. Developers must now manually update this structure and the order
    of their articles.

Major changes

  • update_docs() now updates the package version as well as altdoc version in
    the footer.

  • The NEWS or Changelog file included in the docs now automatically links issues,
    pull requests and users (only works for projects on Github).

  • Vignettes are now always rendered by use_*() or update_docs(). Therefore,
    the argument convert_vignettes is removed. Previously, they were only rendered
    if their content changed. This was problematic because the code in a vignette
    can have different output while the vignette in itself doesn't change (#37, #38).

  • New argument custom_reference in use_*() and update_docs(). If it is a
    path to a custom R file then it uses this file to build the "Reference" section
    in the docs (#35).

Minor changes

  • Fix some CRAN failures.
