The doxygen mailing lists

Sourceforge hosts a number of mailing lists to which you can subscribe for doxygen related discussion (the form above is an interface for subscribing to the announcement list).

GIT repository

The GIT repository for doxygen is hosted on GitHub. In this repository you can be find the latest "bleeding edge" version of doxygen.

If you have the necessary build tools installed (i.e. g++, python, cmake, flex, bison), you should do the following to get the initial copy of the repository:

git clone https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen.git
cd doxygen

After that you can use

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..
make

To force a fresh build after an earlier check-out simple remove the build directory and redo the steps above.

After the binaries have been built, you can use

make install

to install them.

Public access to the GIT repository is read-only at the moment. So it is not possible to directly commit changes. Instead you can clone the repository, make you changes and create a pull request to notify me. I'll review the changes and include them (assuming they are correct and relevant).

GIT binaries

Windows binaries for the latest tagged releases are sometimes available as well.

Sources and Binaries
