1 Version 0.13 - UNRELEASED
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 * The path-handling functions in the default project class were
13 confused by leading "./" in paths and failed to idendify some
16 * The root graph can now be included in arguments to
17 Transform::Consolidate, and "--consolidate 0-<N>" is now valid.
19 * The tulip renderer had been broken by an API change in 0.12.
21 * Workaround for a strange behaviour or ActivePerl 5.8.7 on Windows,
22 which caused dependencies in subdirs not to be found.
24 * Ingredientable::ingredients() method now always returns a list,
25 even in scalar context when there is only one ingredient.
27 Changes for the plugin writer:
29 * New node style attributes "label" and "extralabel" for the dot
32 * Added support for edge styling, and support for "label" attribute
33 in the dot renderer. New WeightLabel edge styler to replace old
36 * Class moves and renames: transforms, styles.
38 ==================================================
40 Version 0.12 - 2006-02-03
42 End-user-visible changes
44 * Start of a renaming of the whole toolkit to DEPS (Dependency
45 Extraction and Processing System), graph-includes being only the
46 current user frontend.
48 * Graphs of grouped nodes now only include the defined groups. The
49 new --consolidate flag is now available to merge such graphs in a
50 manner such that nodes of a given group-level, not included in any
51 higher-level group, are shown as well. As a side-effect, this flag
52 also controls the highest group-level of the nodes to be drawn, in
53 place of the --group flag.
55 * The --group flag to render groups as node clusters is not available
56 any more. It will come back in a later release, under a more suitable
59 * The documentation previously found in the README file is now
60 available in DocBook XML format, in the doc/ directory.
64 * Fixed the uniqueincludes project class, which has been broken since
65 the 0.6 reorganization.
67 * Calculation of edge weights was wrong.
69 Changes for the class writer:
71 * A project is now made of a set of graphs, themselves connected as a
72 graph representing the transformations used to produce them from the
73 other graphs. Most APIs changed consequently.
75 * Projects are now expected to provide a nlevels() method matching
76 the number of grouping levels defined, and the filelabel() methods
77 are now allowed to return undef when a node does not belong to any
78 group at the requested level.
80 * Arbitrary transformations and styles can now be defined, although
81 no facility is provided yet by the master graph-includes script to
82 apply them, short of editing the script. Currently available
83 transformations are "compatgroup" (use the old filelabel() mechanism
84 to define grouping levels), "consolidate" (merge several group levels
85 in a single graph to show non-grouped nodes as well), and
86 "transitivereduction". The only currently available styler allows to
87 apply style attributes (like colors) to a node according to the group
88 it belongs to at a given grouping level.
92 * Objects now get their hash locked in the constructors, to catch
93 typos, unwanted modifications, and other errors likely to occur
94 during subsequent refactorings.
96 * Introduced graph, node, and edge objects (splitted out from
97 project, along with relevant methods). A project now has a stack
100 * Many other changes, fixing some bugs, and introducing brand new ones.
102 ==================================================
104 Version 0.11 - 2005-12-06
106 End-user-visible changes
108 * Generalized support for node coloring, with renderer::dot
109 supporting 2 coloring levels (background and outline)
111 * Improved portability to non-UNIX platforms, was successfully run on
114 * The C extractor now looks in for system headers in /usr/include by
117 * The Perl extractor uses the default @INC value to locate system
120 Changes for the class writer:
122 * Per-language extractors can now declare a default system-include
127 * The --color flag was broken.
129 ==================================================
131 Version 0.10 - 2005-11-29
133 End-user-visible changes

137 * Added preliminary support to use tulip as renderer.
139 ==================================================
141 Version 0.9.2 - 2005-11-2

145 * Explicitely written down the plan for the upcoming redesign.
147 ==================================================
149 Version 0.9.1 - 2005-06-01
153 * Fixed a typo preventing the recursive search to see .c and .h
156 ==================================================

174 * Updated usage summary with recent options.
176 ==================================================
178 Version 0.8 - 2005-05-26
180 End-user-visible changes
182 * Directory arguments are now searched for files, allowing to handle
183 projects with a large number of files.
185 * New --fileregexp option to override the per-language regexp used to
186 look for files inside directories.
188 * More statistics are available in the report file.
190 Changes for the class writer:
192 * extractors' getdeps methods cannot rely any more on @ARGV
193 containing the files list, and must get it from the FILES instance
196 ==================================================
198 Version 0.7 - 2005-05-10
202 * The '.graph-includes.report' suffix used when using --output did
203 not include the first dot.
205 Other end-user-visible changes
207 * Visible edges are now labelled with the number of real dependencies
208 they represent, so we have some visual feedback of transitive
211 * Huge performance boost for the transitive reduction.
213 * When cycles are present, the specific reduction selected is usually
214 a different one than in 0.6.1 and below, as a side-effect of
215 implementation changes.
217 * More documentation has been written.
219 Changes for the class writer:
221 * project::record_missing_dep was split out of project::record_dep.
223 * Dependencies are now stored in a hash instead of an array.
225 * The "label" special_edge attribute is now an array of strings, to
226 be presented on several lines.
228 ==================================================
230 Version 0.6.1 - 2005-04-26
234 * Fixed the distribution which misses the C and perl extractors.
236 ==================================================
238 Version 0.6 - 2005-04-24
242 * A typo in the graphincludes::params package prevented the
243 parameters default values to be used.
245 Command-line changes:
247 * New --language flag to select syntax of source files.
249 * Preliminary support for extracting perl dependencies, using
252 Changes for the class writer:
254 * C-specific behaviour is now located in new extractor::C class.
256 * Changed special_edge() return value to an hash of graphviz node
257 attribute/value pairs
259 * More methods were moved from project::default up to ancestor
262 ==================================================
264 Version 0.5 - 2005-04-20
266 Command-line changes:
268 * --Include is now recognized as long form for -I.
270 * New --sysInclude option to specify system directories. Included
271 files not found in the project, but found in those directories are
272 not considered as "not found".
274 Other end-user-visible changes
276 * Removed inconditional duplicate warnings flooding the output.
278 * Verbose diagnostics are now output unconditionally into a
279 graph-includes.report (or <file>.graph-includes.report) file.
281 Changes for the class writer:
283 * The constructor for the project classes now uses named parameters,
284 instead of positional parameters.
285 * Global parameters were moved to a new graphincludes::params package.
287 ==================================================
289 Version 0.4 - 2005-04-17
291 Command-line changes:
293 * Implemented cpp-like "-I <dir>" syntax for #include lookup,
294 dropping the infamous former ad-hoc heuristic.
296 Other end-user-visible changes
298 * `#include "..."' are now analyzed using the standard cpp semantics,
299 and `#include <...>' line are now considered as well.
303 * Many code cleanups.
305 ==================================================
307 Version 0.3 - 2005-04-14
311 * Fixed a bug in the ad-hoc #include resolver which caused some
312 dependencies to be ignored
314 Command-line changes:
316 * New --paper option to get a graph printable on paper (for now, only
319 Other end-user-visible changes
321 * More documentation has been written.
323 ==================================================
325 Version 0.2 - 2005-04-01
329 * --output would reject its argument.
331 * --focus and --showdropped caused invalid output.
333 Command-line changes:
335 * New --prefixstrip option to make the graph more readable by
336 stripping a common prefix from all filenames.
338 * Obsolete (pre 0.1 !) --allfiles option was completely dropped.
340 Other end-user-visible changes
342 * More documentation has been written.
344 * The default project-class (and the sample wesnoth class) now
345 provide default singleton level-2 groups (so "--group 2-2" should
346 work on all projects).
348 Changes for the class writer:
350 * The tool expect a project class to build its dependency graph in an
351 init() method, instead of in the constructor.
353 * The project class constructor now takes an additional prefixstrip
354 argument. More changes to come in this area to cause such changes
355 to be less disruptive in the future.
357 * A project class can now specify excuses for abusive dependencies,
358 to be shown in as edges of a different color, and with the excuse
361 ==================================================
