Changelog

3.0.1 (2023-01-10)

• Add support for Python 3.11.
• Drop support for Python 3.6.
• Restrict readme-renderer to < 37.0, because it switched to a different docutils writer (html5_polyglot instead of html4css1), which causes issues (issue 65). This will be fixed properly in a newer release.

• Drop Python 3.4 support.

2.9.1 (2018-05-18)

• Drop Python 3.3 support.
• New option --report-level that defaults to 2 (previously this was hardcoded to 0). See #49.

2.7.0 (2016-09-15)

• New option --halt-level (#44), contributed by Kunshan Wang.
• New option -B/--no-browser (#46).

2.6.0 (2015-12-31)

• Highlight the bad source line when rendering fails completely due to an error, e.g. in --strict mode (#40).

• Claim Python 3.5 support.

2.4.0 (2015-05-27)

• Drop Python 3.2 support.
• Stop dynamic computation of install_requires in setup.py, this doesn't work well in the presence of the pip 7 wheel cache.

2.3.0 (2015-01-26)

• Follow PyPI's lead and rely on readme for rendering in --pypi-strict mode. Fixes #28.

2.2.1 (2015-01-06)

• Fix style loss on autoreloading. Fixes #25.

2.2.0 (2014-12-10)

• Reload the page using AJAX to preserve scroll position. Fixes #22.

• Use the default docutils CSS instead of replacing it wholesale. Drop some of our styles, including:

  • left-aligned document title
  • sans-serif font override for document text
  • fully-justified text
  • bold terms in definition lists
  • custom table rendering with just horizontal rules (issue #23)

  Keep other custom style overrides:

  • custom footnote rendering (I really like it)
  • white background for code blocks
  • prettier system error messages
  • unified alignment of code blocks, block quotes and doctests

  Fixes #23.

• The --css option can be provided multiple times and can refer to standard stylesheets (the ones provided by docutils as well as the ones provided by restview) without specifying the full path.

  For example, if you want to go back to the style used by restview before version 2.2.0, you can use

  restview --css oldrestview.css ...
  

  If you want your own custom style on top of the standard docutils styles, use

  restview --css html4css1.css --css ./path/to/my.css
  

  And if you want to completely override the stylesheet, use

  restview --css ./path/to/my.css
  

• New option: --watch. Reloads pages when a given file changes. Mostly useful with -e, but can also come in handy when you're developing your CSS. Can be specified multiple times, e.g.

  restview --css my.css -e 'cat one.rst two.rst' -w my.css -w one.rst -w two.rst
  

• restview --long-description watches setup.py, README.rst and CHANGES.rst for updates and reloads the description automatically.

• Error pages will also reload automatically if the source file changes.

• Error pages in strict mode will mention the filename instead of <string>.

• File watching now pays attention to fractional seconds.

• Fix TypeError on Python 3 when using --pypi-strict.
