Doxygen Release 1.7.3

(release date 03-01-2011)

Changes

• Added a header for each HTML page above the navigation menu, showing the project name and logo and a short descriptin (all optional). Disabling the index (with DISABLE_INDEX) still shows the new header (you can still customize this using HTML_HEADER). This now works nicely in combination with GENERATE_TREEVIEW = YES and/or SEARCH_ENGINE = YES.
• Redesigned the treeview feature. Instead of using frames, the navigation tree is now loaded on each page dynamically. This allows bookmarking a page and always keeps the top menu visible. Also the current item is automatically highlighted in the tree. Also updated the icons in the treeview to match the overall look'n'feel. Note: if you now use a custom HTML header, please update it using doxygen with the -w and the edit the default header.

• Added new option FILTER_SOURCE_PATTERNS which can be used in combination with FILTER_SOURCE_FILES to filter files used for the source browser based on file extension, which can overwrite the filter set by FILTER_PATTERNS and/or INPUT_FILTER.
• Added new option STRICT_PROTO_MATCHING which is disabled by default, and makes the parameter matching to be less strict, resulting in fewer "No matching class member found" warnings.

Changes

• Changed the look of the HTML output.

Doxygen Release 1.5.5

(release date 10-2-2008)

Changes

• Pages created with @page are now chapters in the LaTeX and RTF output and treeviews, and directly follow the mainpage. Also the project name is not longer repeated for each chapter. This should make it more convenient to create normal, printable documentation with doxygen.
• For dot graphs with an edge with more than ten labels, only the first ten are shown followed by an ellipsis; done to prevent very long dot runs resulting in unreadable graphs.
• Use of pdflatex with hyperlinks is now the default.
• id 511116: C++ preprocessor macro names are now replaced in the comments as well. For example, S and m are replaced in the comments for: #define C(S,m) /** container S */ struct S { /** value m */ int m; }
• id 493923: The options SOURCE_BROWSER, CALL_GRAPH, CALLER_GRAPH, REFERENCES_RELATION, and REFERENCED_BY_RELATION can now be indepently enabled and disabled. By default the relations are now disabled.

  See the configuration file or manual for more details.
• id 493467: Added compilation support 64bit Solaris machines in combination with Sun's own compiler (thanks to Heiko Jansen).

Doxygen Release 1.5.3

(release date 27-7-2007)

Changes

• When OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_FOR_C is enabled then a struct definition of the form typedef struct _S { ... } S_t will be shown in the output as a struct of type S_t and the typedef itself is omitted (previousily _S was shown as well as a typedef of the form typedef _S S_t).
• Improved the line-breaking rules for members whose return types have many characters (for example a function returning a pointer to a template class).
• Multiple brief and detailed descriptions are now possible. It is still not recommended to make use of them, but at least no documentation is silently hidden when there are two brief or two detailed descriptions for the same entity.
• Improved dot layout control and page sizing to better fit images on the screen and paper.

New features

Doxygen Release 1.5.2

(release date 4-4-2007)

Changes

• The options MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH, MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT, and MAX_DOT_GRAPH_DEPTH have been replaced by a single option DOT_GRAPH_MAX_NODES, which can be used to limit the size of a graph indirectly, by specifying the maximum amount of nodes in the graph. The main advantage is that this can be computed much faster; dot has to be run only once per graph and never on graphs with more than the specified amount of nodes. Note that doxygen will always render the root node and its direct children even when DOT_GRAPH_MAX_NODES = 0.
• Parameters names are now copied to reimplemented functions, avoiding warnings about missing or wrong parameter names when INHERIT_DOCS = YES.

New features

Doxygen Release 1.5.1

Bug fixes

• Doxywizard didn't work on PC's where no Visual Studio 2005 was present, when build with the project files (I'm now using /MT instead of /MD which fixes this issue).
• Running 2 instances of doxygen on the same output directory caused corruption of the temporary files generated by doxygen.

Doxygen Release 1.5.0

(release date 16-10-2006)

Changes

• cleaned up the internal structures to make them smaller, and made doxygen use a temporary file to store the parse results (instead of keeping them in memory), which will further reduce the memory usage, especially for large projects, and is a first step towards incremental parsing.

New features

• Added example application that shows how to configure and run doxygen from within an application and use the information collected by doxygen without also generating the output (see addon/doxyapp).
• id 322467: Sections produces by \note, \warning, \remarks etc, now have a class label in the generated HTML (<dl> tag) so you can give them a distinct style using a non-default stylesheet (i.e. using HTML_STYLESHEET).

• id 349867: Fixed issue handling brief and detailed description when both are positioned after an item.
• id 350168: Doxygen didn't parse C# type contraints properly.

• enums in a used namespace could cause arguments not to match.
• fixed several cases where arguments of function/method declaration and definition did not match while they should.
