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 * Ingredientable::ingredients() method now always returns a list,
22 even in scalar context when there is only one ingredient.
24 Changes for the plugin writer:
26 * New node style attributes "label" and "extralabel" for the dot
29 * Added support for edge styling, and support for "label" attribute
30 in the dot renderer. New WeightLabel edge styler to replace old
33 * Class moves and renames: transforms, styles.
35 ==================================================
37 Version 0.12 - 2006-02-03
39 End-user-visible changes
41 * Start of a renaming of the whole toolkit to DEPS (Dependency
42 Extraction and Processing System), graph-includes being only the
43 current user frontend.
45 * Graphs of grouped nodes now only include the defined groups. The
46 new --consolidate flag is now available to merge such graphs in a
47 manner such that nodes of a given group-level, not included in any
48 higher-level group, are shown as well. As a side-effect, this flag
49 also controls the highest group-level of the nodes to be drawn, in
50 place of the --group flag.
52 * The --group flag to render groups as node clusters is not available
53 any more. It will come back in a later release, under a more suitable
56 * The documentation previously found in the README file is now
57 available in DocBook XML format, in the doc/ directory.
61 * Fixed the uniqueincludes project class, which has been broken since
62 the 0.6 reorganization.
64 * Calculation of edge weights was wrong.
66 Changes for the class writer:
68 * A project is now made of a set of graphs, themselves connected as a
69 graph representing the transformations used to produce them from the
70 other graphs. Most APIs changed consequently.
72 * Projects are now expected to provide a nlevels() method matching
73 the number of grouping levels defined, and the filelabel() methods
74 are now allowed to return undef when a node does not belong to any
75 group at the requested level.
77 * Arbitrary transformations and styles can now be defined, although
78 no facility is provided yet by the master graph-includes script to
79 apply them, short of editing the script. Currently available
80 transformations are "compatgroup" (use the old filelabel() mechanism
81 to define grouping levels), "consolidate" (merge several group levels
82 in a single graph to show non-grouped nodes as well), and
83 "transitivereduction". The only currently available styler allows to
84 apply style attributes (like colors) to a node according to the group
85 it belongs to at a given grouping level.
89 * Objects now get their hash locked in the constructors, to catch
90 typos, unwanted modifications, and other errors likely to occur
91 during subsequent refactorings.
93 * Introduced graph, node, and edge objects (splitted out from
94 project, along with relevant methods). A project now has a stack
97 * Many other changes, fixing some bugs, and introducing brand new ones.
99 ==================================================

106 supporting 2 coloring levels (background and outline)
108 * Improved portability to non-UNIX platforms, was successfully run on
111 * The C extractor now looks in for system headers in /usr/include by
114 * The Perl extractor uses the default @INC value to locate system
117 Changes for the class writer:
119 * Per-language extractors can now declare a default system-include
124 * The --color flag was broken.
126 ==================================================
128 Version 0.10 - 2005-11-29

173 ==================================================
175 Version 0.8 - 2005-05-26
177 End-user-visible changes
179 * Directory arguments are now searched for files, allowing to handle
180 projects with a large number of files.
182 * New --fileregexp option to override the per-language regexp used to
183 look for files inside directories.
185 * More statistics are available in the report file.
187 Changes for the class writer:
189 * extractors' getdeps methods cannot rely any more on @ARGV
190 containing the files list, and must get it from the FILES instance
193 ==================================================
195 Version 0.7 - 2005-05-10
199 * The '.graph-includes.report' suffix used when using --output did
200 not include the first dot.
202 Other end-user-visible changes
204 * Visible edges are now labelled with the number of real dependencies
205 they represent, so we have some visual feedback of transitive
208 * Huge performance boost for the transitive reduction.
210 * When cycles are present, the specific reduction selected is usually
211 a different one than in 0.6.1 and below, as a side-effect of
212 implementation changes.
214 * More documentation has been written.
216 Changes for the class writer:
218 * project::record_missing_dep was split out of project::record_dep.
220 * Dependencies are now stored in a hash instead of an array.
222 * The "label" special_edge attribute is now an array of strings, to
223 be presented on several lines.

251 * C-specific behaviour is now located in new extractor::C class.
253 * Changed special_edge() return value to an hash of graphviz node
254 attribute/value pairs
256 * More methods were moved from project::default up to ancestor

263 Command-line changes:
265 * --Include is now recognized as long form for -I.
267 * New --sysInclude option to specify system directories. Included
268 files not found in the project, but found in those directories are
269 not considered as "not found".
271 Other end-user-visible changes
273 * Removed inconditional duplicate warnings flooding the output.
275 * Verbose diagnostics are now output unconditionally into a
276 graph-includes.report (or <file>.graph-includes.report) file.
278 Changes for the class writer:
280 * The constructor for the project classes now uses named parameters,
281 instead of positional parameters.
282 * Global parameters were moved to a new graphincludes::params package.
284 ==================================================
286 Version 0.4 - 2005-04-17
288 Command-line changes:

309 dependencies to be ignored
311 Command-line changes:
313 * New --paper option to get a graph printable on paper (for now, only
316 Other end-user-visible changes
318 * More documentation has been written.
320 ==================================================
322 Version 0.2 - 2005-04-01
326 * --output would reject its argument.
328 * --focus and --showdropped caused invalid output.
330 Command-line changes:
332 * New --prefixstrip option to make the graph more readable by
333 stripping a common prefix from all filenames.
335 * Obsolete (pre 0.1 !) --allfiles option was completely dropped.
337 Other end-user-visible changes
339 * More documentation has been written.
341 * The default project-class (and the sample wesnoth class) now
342 provide default singleton level-2 groups (so "--group 2-2" should
343 work on all projects).
345 Changes for the class writer:
347 * The tool expect a project class to build its dependency graph in an
348 init() method, instead of in the constructor.
350 * The project class constructor now takes an additional prefixstrip
351 argument. More changes to come in this area to cause such changes
352 to be less disruptive in the future.
354 * A project class can now specify excuses for abusive dependencies,
355 to be shown in as edges of a different color, and with the excuse
