1 Version 0.14 - unreleased
3 End-user-visible changes
5 * Add a --subgraphs flag to make --consolidate act like --group used
6 to: display groups as clusters of their constituent nodes (only
7 supported by the dot renderer for now).
9 * Added a preliminar java extractor.
13 Changes for the plugin writer:
15 * Nodes can now contain a SUBGRAPH attribute, causing them to be
16 rendered as a cluster.
18 ==================================================
20 Version 0.13 - 2006-02-08
22 End-user-visible changes
24 * Added a node style to display the number of ingredient nodes and of
25 internal edges in a group (GroupStats), activated by default.
27 * Updated documentation.
31 * Ship all files (the 0.12 tarball missed all transforms and styles !)
33 * The path-handling functions in the default project class were
34 confused by leading "./" in paths and failed to idendify some
37 * The root graph can now be included in arguments to
38 Transform::Consolidate, and "--consolidate 0-<N>" is now valid.
40 * The tulip renderer had been broken by an API change in 0.12.
42 * Workaround for a strange behaviour or ActivePerl 5.8.7 on Windows,
43 which caused dependencies in subdirs not to be found.
45 * Ingredientable::ingredients() method now always returns a list,
46 even in scalar context when there is only one ingredient.
48 Changes for the plugin writer:
50 * New node style attributes "label" and "extralabel" for the dot
53 * Added support for edge styling, and support for "label" attribute
54 in the dot renderer. New WeightLabel edge styler to replace old
57 * Class moves and renames: transforms, styles.
59 ==================================================
61 Version 0.12 - 2006-02-03
63 End-user-visible changes
65 * Start of a renaming of the whole toolkit to DEPS (Dependency
66 Extraction and Processing System), graph-includes being only the
67 current user frontend.
69 * Graphs of grouped nodes now only include the defined groups. The
70 new --consolidate flag is now available to merge such graphs in a
71 manner such that nodes of a given group-level, not included in any
72 higher-level group, are shown as well. As a side-effect, this flag
73 also controls the highest group-level of the nodes to be drawn, in
74 place of the --group flag.
76 * The --group flag to render groups as node clusters is not available
77 any more. It will come back in a later release, under a more suitable
80 * The documentation previously found in the README file is now
81 available in DocBook XML format, in the doc/ directory.
85 * Fixed the uniqueincludes project class, which has been broken since
86 the 0.6 reorganization.
88 * Calculation of edge weights was wrong.
90 Changes for the class writer:
92 * A project is now made of a set of graphs, themselves connected as a
93 graph representing the transformations used to produce them from the
94 other graphs. Most APIs changed consequently.
96 * Projects are now expected to provide a nlevels() method matching
97 the number of grouping levels defined, and the filelabel() methods
98 are now allowed to return undef when a node does not belong to any
99 group at the requested level.
101 * Arbitrary transformations and styles can now be defined, although
102 no facility is provided yet by the master graph-includes script to
103 apply them, short of editing the script. Currently available
104 transformations are "compatgroup" (use the old filelabel() mechanism
105 to define grouping levels), "consolidate" (merge several group levels
106 in a single graph to show non-grouped nodes as well), and
107 "transitivereduction". The only currently available styler allows to
108 apply style attributes (like colors) to a node according to the group
109 it belongs to at a given grouping level.
113 * Objects now get their hash locked in the constructors, to catch
114 typos, unwanted modifications, and other errors likely to occur
115 during subsequent refactorings.
117 * Introduced graph, node, and edge objects (splitted out from
118 project, along with relevant methods). A project now has a stack
121 * Many other changes, fixing some bugs, and introducing brand new ones.
123 ==================================================
125 Version 0.11 - 2005-12-06
127 End-user-visible changes
129 * Generalized support for node coloring, with renderer::dot
130 supporting 2 coloring levels (background and outline)
132 * Improved portability to non-UNIX platforms, was successfully run on
135 * The C extractor now looks in for system headers in /usr/include by
138 * The Perl extractor uses the default @INC value to locate system
141 Changes for the class writer:
143 * Per-language extractors can now declare a default system-include
148 * The --color flag was broken.
150 ==================================================
152 Version 0.10 - 2005-11-29
154 End-user-visible changes

166 * Explicitely written down the plan for the upcoming redesign.
168 ==================================================
170 Version 0.9.1 - 2005-06-01
174 * Fixed a typo preventing the recursive search to see .c and .h

197 ==================================================
199 Version 0.8 - 2005-05-26
201 End-user-visible changes
203 * Directory arguments are now searched for files, allowing to handle
204 projects with a large number of files.
206 * New --fileregexp option to override the per-language regexp used to
207 look for files inside directories.
209 * More statistics are available in the report file.
211 Changes for the class writer:
213 * extractors' getdeps methods cannot rely any more on @ARGV
214 containing the files list, and must get it from the FILES instance
217 ==================================================
219 Version 0.7 - 2005-05-10
223 * The '.graph-includes.report' suffix used when using --output did
224 not include the first dot.
226 Other end-user-visible changes
228 * Visible edges are now labelled with the number of real dependencies
229 they represent, so we have some visual feedback of transitive
232 * Huge performance boost for the transitive reduction.
234 * When cycles are present, the specific reduction selected is usually
235 a different one than in 0.6.1 and below, as a side-effect of
236 implementation changes.
238 * More documentation has been written.
240 Changes for the class writer:
242 * project::record_missing_dep was split out of project::record_dep.
244 * Dependencies are now stored in a hash instead of an array.
246 * The "label" special_edge attribute is now an array of strings, to
247 be presented on several lines.
249 ==================================================
251 Version 0.6.1 - 2005-04-26
255 * Fixed the distribution which misses the C and perl extractors.
257 ==================================================
259 Version 0.6 - 2005-04-24
263 * A typo in the graphincludes::params package prevented the
264 parameters default values to be used.
266 Command-line changes:
268 * New --language flag to select syntax of source files.
270 * Preliminary support for extracting perl dependencies, using

277 * Changed special_edge() return value to an hash of graphviz node
278 attribute/value pairs
280 * More methods were moved from project::default up to ancestor
283 ==================================================
285 Version 0.5 - 2005-04-20
287 Command-line changes:
289 * --Include is now recognized as long form for -I.
291 * New --sysInclude option to specify system directories. Included
292 files not found in the project, but found in those directories are
293 not considered as "not found".
295 Other end-user-visible changes
297 * Removed inconditional duplicate warnings flooding the output.
299 * Verbose diagnostics are now output unconditionally into a
300 graph-includes.report (or <file>.graph-includes.report) file.
302 Changes for the class writer:
304 * The constructor for the project classes now uses named parameters,
305 instead of positional parameters.
306 * Global parameters were moved to a new graphincludes::params package.
308 ==================================================
310 Version 0.4 - 2005-04-17
312 Command-line changes:
314 * Implemented cpp-like "-I <dir>" syntax for #include lookup,
315 dropping the infamous former ad-hoc heuristic.
317 Other end-user-visible changes
319 * `#include "..."' are now analyzed using the standard cpp semantics,
320 and `#include <...>' line are now considered as well.
324 * Many code cleanups.
326 ==================================================
328 Version 0.3 - 2005-04-14
332 * Fixed a bug in the ad-hoc #include resolver which caused some
333 dependencies to be ignored
335 Command-line changes:
337 * New --paper option to get a graph printable on paper (for now, only
340 Other end-user-visible changes
342 * More documentation has been written.
344 ==================================================
346 Version 0.2 - 2005-04-01
350 * --output would reject its argument.
352 * --focus and --showdropped caused invalid output.
354 Command-line changes:
356 * New --prefixstrip option to make the graph more readable by
357 stripping a common prefix from all filenames.
359 * Obsolete (pre 0.1 !) --allfiles option was completely dropped.
361 Other end-user-visible changes
363 * More documentation has been written.
365 * The default project-class (and the sample wesnoth class) now
366 provide default singleton level-2 groups (so "--group 2-2" should
367 work on all projects).
369 Changes for the class writer:
371 * The tool expect a project class to build its dependency graph in an
372 init() method, instead of in the constructor.
374 * The project class constructor now takes an additional prefixstrip
375 argument. More changes to come in this area to cause such changes
376 to be less disruptive in the future.
378 * A project class can now specify excuses for abusive dependencies,
379 to be shown in as edges of a different color, and with the excuse
