altdoc 0.4.0

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

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

• 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

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

altdoc 0.2.0

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.

altdoc 0.1.0

• Initial CRAN version.
