1 Version 0.13 - 2006-01-08
3 End-user-visible changes
5 * Added a node style to display the number of ingredient nodes and of
6 internal edges in a group (GroupStats), activated by default.
8 * Updated documentation.
12 * Ship all files (the 0.12 tarball missed all transforms and styles !)
14 * The path-handling functions in the default project class were
15 confused by leading "./" in paths and failed to idendify some
18 * The root graph can now be included in arguments to
19 Transform::Consolidate, and "--consolidate 0-<N>" is now valid.
21 * The tulip renderer had been broken by an API change in 0.12.
23 * Workaround for a strange behaviour or ActivePerl 5.8.7 on Windows,
24 which caused dependencies in subdirs not to be found.
26 * Ingredientable::ingredients() method now always returns a list,
27 even in scalar context when there is only one ingredient.
29 Changes for the plugin writer:
31 * New node style attributes "label" and "extralabel" for the dot
34 * Added support for edge styling, and support for "label" attribute
35 in the dot renderer. New WeightLabel edge styler to replace old
38 * Class moves and renames: transforms, styles.
40 ==================================================
42 Version 0.12 - 2006-02-03
44 End-user-visible changes
46 * Start of a renaming of the whole toolkit to DEPS (Dependency
47 Extraction and Processing System), graph-includes being only the
48 current user frontend.
50 * Graphs of grouped nodes now only include the defined groups. The
51 new --consolidate flag is now available to merge such graphs in a
52 manner such that nodes of a given group-level, not included in any
53 higher-level group, are shown as well. As a side-effect, this flag
54 also controls the highest group-level of the nodes to be drawn, in
55 place of the --group flag.
57 * The --group flag to render groups as node clusters is not available
58 any more. It will come back in a later release, under a more suitable
61 * The documentation previously found in the README file is now
62 available in DocBook XML format, in the doc/ directory.
66 * Fixed the uniqueincludes project class, which has been broken since
67 the 0.6 reorganization.
69 * Calculation of edge weights was wrong.
71 Changes for the class writer:
73 * A project is now made of a set of graphs, themselves connected as a
74 graph representing the transformations used to produce them from the
75 other graphs. Most APIs changed consequently.
77 * Projects are now expected to provide a nlevels() method matching
78 the number of grouping levels defined, and the filelabel() methods
79 are now allowed to return undef when a node does not belong to any
80 group at the requested level.
82 * Arbitrary transformations and styles can now be defined, although
83 no facility is provided yet by the master graph-includes script to
84 apply them, short of editing the script. Currently available
85 transformations are "compatgroup" (use the old filelabel() mechanism
86 to define grouping levels), "consolidate" (merge several group levels
87 in a single graph to show non-grouped nodes as well), and
88 "transitivereduction". The only currently available styler allows to
89 apply style attributes (like colors) to a node according to the group
90 it belongs to at a given grouping level.
94 * Objects now get their hash locked in the constructors, to catch
95 typos, unwanted modifications, and other errors likely to occur
96 during subsequent refactorings.
98 * Introduced graph, node, and edge objects (splitted out from
99 project, along with relevant methods). A project now has a stack
102 * Many other changes, fixing some bugs, and introducing brand new ones.
104 ==================================================
106 Version 0.11 - 2005-12-06
108 End-user-visible changes
110 * Generalized support for node coloring, with renderer::dot
111 supporting 2 coloring levels (background and outline)
113 * Improved portability to non-UNIX platforms, was successfully run on
116 * The C extractor now looks in for system headers in /usr/include by
119 * The Perl extractor uses the default @INC value to locate system
122 Changes for the class writer:
124 * Per-language extractors can now declare a default system-include
129 * The --color flag was broken.
131 ==================================================
133 Version 0.10 - 2005-11-29
135 End-user-visible changes
137 * Added a --renderer flag to select another renderer than dot.
139 * Added preliminary support to use tulip as renderer.
141 ==================================================
143 Version 0.9.2 - 2005-11-2
145 * Start of a "tutorial" or "how to use" section in the doc.
147 * Explicitely written down the plan for the upcoming redesign.
149 ==================================================
151 Version 0.9.1 - 2005-06-01
155 * Fixed a typo preventing the recursive search to see .c and .h
158 ==================================================
160 Version 0.9 - 2005-06-01
164 * Now fails nicely when no dependencies are found for any reason.
166 Other end-user-visible changes
168 * Command-line and version are now logged in the report file.
170 * New --version flag.
172 * Can now be run from source dir with no effort.
174 * Exit with usage on command-line.
176 * Updated usage summary with recent options.
178 ==================================================
180 Version 0.8 - 2005-05-26
182 End-user-visible changes
184 * Directory arguments are now searched for files, allowing to handle
185 projects with a large number of files.
187 * New --fileregexp option to override the per-language regexp used to
188 look for files inside directories.
190 * More statistics are available in the report file.
192 Changes for the class writer:
194 * extractors' getdeps methods cannot rely any more on @ARGV
195 containing the files list, and must get it from the FILES instance
198 ==================================================
200 Version 0.7 - 2005-05-10
204 * The '.graph-includes.report' suffix used when using --output did
205 not include the first dot.
207 Other end-user-visible changes
209 * Visible edges are now labelled with the number of real dependencies
210 they represent, so we have some visual feedback of transitive
213 * Huge performance boost for the transitive reduction.
215 * When cycles are present, the specific reduction selected is usually
216 a different one than in 0.6.1 and below, as a side-effect of
217 implementation changes.
219 * More documentation has been written.
221 Changes for the class writer:
223 * project::record_missing_dep was split out of project::record_dep.
225 * Dependencies are now stored in a hash instead of an array.
227 * The "label" special_edge attribute is now an array of strings, to
228 be presented on several lines.
230 ==================================================
232 Version 0.6.1 - 2005-04-26
236 * Fixed the distribution which misses the C and perl extractors.
238 ==================================================
240 Version 0.6 - 2005-04-24
244 * A typo in the graphincludes::params package prevented the
245 parameters default values to be used.
247 Command-line changes:
249 * New --language flag to select syntax of source files.
251 * Preliminary support for extracting perl dependencies, using
254 Changes for the class writer:
256 * C-specific behaviour is now located in new extractor::C class.
258 * Changed special_edge() return value to an hash of graphviz node
259 attribute/value pairs
261 * More methods were moved from project::default up to ancestor
264 ==================================================
266 Version 0.5 - 2005-04-20
268 Command-line changes:
270 * --Include is now recognized as long form for -I.
272 * New --sysInclude option to specify system directories. Included
273 files not found in the project, but found in those directories are
274 not considered as "not found".
276 Other end-user-visible changes
278 * Removed inconditional duplicate warnings flooding the output.
280 * Verbose diagnostics are now output unconditionally into a
281 graph-includes.report (or <file>.graph-includes.report) file.
283 Changes for the class writer:
285 * The constructor for the project classes now uses named parameters,
286 instead of positional parameters.
287 * Global parameters were moved to a new graphincludes::params package.
289 ==================================================
291 Version 0.4 - 2005-04-17
293 Command-line changes:
295 * Implemented cpp-like "-I <dir>" syntax for #include lookup,
296 dropping the infamous former ad-hoc heuristic.
298 Other end-user-visible changes
300 * `#include "..."' are now analyzed using the standard cpp semantics,
301 and `#include <...>' line are now considered as well.
305 * Many code cleanups.
307 ==================================================
309 Version 0.3 - 2005-04-14
313 * Fixed a bug in the ad-hoc #include resolver which caused some
314 dependencies to be ignored
316 Command-line changes:
318 * New --paper option to get a graph printable on paper (for now, only
321 Other end-user-visible changes
323 * More documentation has been written.
325 ==================================================
327 Version 0.2 - 2005-04-01
331 * --output would reject its argument.
333 * --focus and --showdropped caused invalid output.
335 Command-line changes:
337 * New --prefixstrip option to make the graph more readable by
338 stripping a common prefix from all filenames.
340 * Obsolete (pre 0.1 !) --allfiles option was completely dropped.
342 Other end-user-visible changes
344 * More documentation has been written.
346 * The default project-class (and the sample wesnoth class) now
347 provide default singleton level-2 groups (so "--group 2-2" should
348 work on all projects).
350 Changes for the class writer:
352 * The tool expect a project class to build its dependency graph in an
353 init() method, instead of in the constructor.
355 * The project class constructor now takes an additional prefixstrip
356 argument. More changes to come in this area to cause such changes
357 to be less disruptive in the future.
359 * A project class can now specify excuses for abusive dependencies,
360 to be shown in as edges of a different color, and with the excuse
363 ==================================================
