Release 5.0.0 beta1 (released May 09, 2022)
===========================================
Dependencies
------------
* #10164: Support `Docutils 0.18`_. Patch by Adam Turner.
.. _Docutils 0.18: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/RELEASE-NOTES.html#release-0-18-2021-10-26
Incompatible changes
--------------------
* #10031: autosummary: ``sphinx.ext.autosummary.import_by_name()`` now raises
``ImportExceptionGroup`` instead of ``ImportError`` when it failed to import
target object. Please handle the exception if your extension uses the
function to import Python object. As a workaround, you can disable the
behavior via ``grouped_exception=False`` keyword argument until v7.0.
* #9962: texinfo: Customizing styles of emphasized text via ``@definfoenclose``
command was not supported because the command was deprecated since texinfo 6.8
* #2068: :confval:`intersphinx_disabled_reftypes` has changed default value
from an empty list to ``['std:doc']`` as avoid too surprising silent
intersphinx resolutions.
To migrate: either add an explicit inventory name to the references
intersphinx should resolve, or explicitly set the value of this configuration
variable to an empty list.
* #10197: html theme: Reduce ``body_min_width`` setting in basic theme to 360px
* #9999: LaTeX: separate terms from their definitions by a CR (refs: #9985)
* #10062: Change the default language to ``'en'`` if any language is not set in
``conf.py``
Deprecated
----------
* #10028: jQuery and underscore.js will no longer be automatically injected into
themes from Sphinx 6.0. If you develop a theme or extension that uses the
``jQuery``, ``$``, or ``$u`` global objects, you need to update your
JavaScript or use the mitigation below.
To re-add jQuery and underscore.js, you will need to copy ``jquery.js`` and
``underscore.js`` from `the Sphinx repository`_ to your ``static`` directory,
and add the following to your ``layout.html``:
.. _the Sphinx repository: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/tree/v4.3.2/sphinx/themes/basic/static
.. code-block:: html+jinja
{%- block scripts %}
<script src="{{ pathto('_static/jquery.js', resource=True) }}"></script>
<script src="{{ pathto('_static/underscore.js', resource=True) }}"></script>
{{ super() }}
{%- endblock %}
* setuptools integration. The ``build_sphinx`` sub-command for setup.py is
marked as deprecated to follow the policy of setuptools team.
* The ``locale`` argument of ``sphinx.util.i18n:babel_format_date()`` becomes
required
* The ``language`` argument of ``sphinx.util.i18n:format_date()`` becomes
required
* ``sphinx.builders.html.html5_ready``
* ``sphinx.io.read_doc()``
* ``sphinx.util.docutils.__version_info__``
* ``sphinx.util.docutils.is_html5_writer_available()``
* ``sphinx.writers.latex.LaTeXWriter.docclasses``
Features added
--------------
* #9075: autodoc: The default value of :confval:`autodoc_typehints_format` is
changed to ``'smart'``. It will suppress the leading module names of
typehints (ex. ``io.StringIO`` -> ``StringIO``).
* #8417: autodoc: ``:inherited-members:`` option now takes multiple classes. It
allows to suppress inherited members of several classes on the module at once
by specifying the option to :rst:dir:`automodule` directive
* #9792: autodoc: Add new option for ``autodoc_typehints_description_target`` to
include undocumented return values but not undocumented parameters.
* #10285: autodoc: singledispatch functions having typehints are not documented
* autodoc: :confval:`autodoc_typehints_format` now also applies to attributes,
data, properties, and type variable bounds.
* #10258: autosummary: Recognize a documented attribute of a module as
non-imported
* #10028: Removed internal usages of JavaScript frameworks (jQuery and
underscore.js) and modernised ``doctools.js`` and ``searchtools.js`` to
EMCAScript 2018.
* #10302: C++, add support for conditional expressions (``?:``).
* #5157, #10251: Inline code is able to be highlighted via :rst:dir:`role`
directive
* #10337: Make sphinx-build faster by caching Publisher object during build
Bugs fixed
----------
* #10200: apidoc: Duplicated submodules are shown for modules having both .pyx
and .so files
* #10279: autodoc: Default values for keyword only arguments in overloaded
functions are rendered as a string literal
* #10280: autodoc: :confval:`autodoc_docstring_signature` unexpectedly generates
return value typehint for constructors if docstring has multiple signatures
* #10266: autodoc: :confval:`autodoc_preserve_defaults` does not work for
mixture of keyword only arguments with/without defaults
* #10310: autodoc: class methods are not documented when decorated with mocked
function
* #10305: autodoc: Failed to extract optional forward-ref'ed typehints correctly
via :confval:`autodoc_type_aliases`
* #10421: autodoc: :confval:`autodoc_preserve_defaults` doesn't work on class
methods
* #10214: html: invalid language tag was generated if :confval:`language`
contains a country code (ex. zh_CN)
* #9974: html: Updated jQuery version from 3.5.1 to 3.6.0
* #10236: html search: objects are duplicated in search result
* #9962: texinfo: Deprecation message for ``@definfoenclose`` command on
bulding texinfo document
* #10000: LaTeX: glossary terms with common definition are rendered with
too much vertical whitespace
* #10188: LaTeX: alternating multiply referred footnotes produce a ``?`` in
pdf output
* #10363: LaTeX: make ``'howto'`` title page rule use ``\linewidth`` for
compatibility with usage of a ``twocolumn`` class option
* #10318: ``:prepend:`` option of :rst:dir:`literalinclude` directive does not
work with ``:dedent:`` option
