1 Version 0.12 - UNRELEASED
3 End-user-visible changes
5 * Start of a renaming of the whole toolkit to DEPS (Dependency
6 Extraction and Processing System), graph-includes being only the
9 * Graphs of grouped nodes now only include the defined groups. The
10 new --consolidate flag is now available to merge such graphs in a
11 manner such that nodes of a given group-level, not included in any
12 higher-level group, are shown as well. As a side-effect, this flag
13 also controls the highest group-level of the nodes to be drawn, in
14 place of the --group flag.
16 * The --group flag to render groups as node clusters is not available
17 any more. It will come back in a later release, under a more suitable
20 * The documentation previously found in the README file is now
21 available in DocBook XML format, in the doc/ directory.
25 * Fixed the uniqueincludes project class, which has been broken since
26 the 0.6 reorganization.
28 * Calculation of edge weights was wrong.
30 Changes for the class writer:
32 * A project is now made of a set of graphs, themselves connected as a
33 graph representing the transformations used to produce them from the
34 other graphs. Most APIs changed consequently.
36 * Projects are now expected to provide a nlevels() method matching
37 the number of grouping levels defined, and the filelabel() methods
38 are now allowed to return undef when a node does not belong to any
39 group at the requested level.
41 * Arbitrary transformations and styles can now be defined, although
42 no facility is provided yet by the master graph-includes script to
43 apply them, short of editing the script. Currently available
44 transformations are "compatgroup" (use the old filelabel() mechanism
45 to define grouping levels), "consolidate" (merge several group levels
46 in a single graph to show non-grouped nodes as well), and
47 "transitivereduction". The only currently available styler allows to
48 apply style attributes (like colors) to a node according to the group
49 it belongs to at a given grouping level.
53 * Objects now get their hash locked in the constructors, to catch
54 typos, unwanted modifications, and other errors likely to occur
55 during subsequent refactorings.
57 * Introduced graph, node, and edge objects (splitted out from
58 project, along with relevant methods). A project now has a stack
61 * Many other changes, fixing some bugs, and introducing brand new ones.
63 ==================================================
65 Version 0.11 - 2005-12-06
67 End-user-visible changes
69 * Generalized support for node coloring, with renderer::dot
70 supporting 2 coloring levels (background and outline)
72 * Improved portability to non-UNIX platforms, was successfully run on
75 * The C extractor now looks in for system headers in /usr/include by
78 * The Perl extractor uses the default @INC value to locate system
81 Changes for the class writer:
83 * Per-language extractors can now declare a default system-include
88 * The --color flag was broken.
90 ==================================================
92 Version 0.10 - 2005-11-29
94 End-user-visible changes
96 * Added a --renderer flag to select another renderer than dot.
98 * Added preliminary support to use tulip as renderer.
100 ==================================================

106 * Explicitely written down the plan for the upcoming redesign.
108 ==================================================
110 Version 0.9.1 - 2005-06-01
114 * Fixed a typo preventing the recursive search to see .c and .h
117 ==================================================

123 * Now fails nicely when no dependencies are found for any reason.
125 Other end-user-visible changes

135 * Updated usage summary with recent options.
137 ==================================================
139 Version 0.8 - 2005-05-26
141 End-user-visible changes
143 * Directory arguments are now searched for files, allowing to handle
144 projects with a large number of files.
146 * New --fileregexp option to override the per-language regexp used to
147 look for files inside directories.
149 * More statistics are available in the report file.
151 Changes for the class writer:
153 * extractors' getdeps methods cannot rely any more on @ARGV
154 containing the files list, and must get it from the FILES instance
157 ==================================================
159 Version 0.7 - 2005-05-10
163 * The '.graph-includes.report' suffix used when using --output did
164 not include the first dot.
166 Other end-user-visible changes
168 * Visible edges are now labelled with the number of real dependencies
169 they represent, so we have some visual feedback of transitive
172 * Huge performance boost for the transitive reduction.
174 * When cycles are present, the specific reduction selected is usually
175 a different one than in 0.6.1 and below, as a side-effect of
176 implementation changes.
178 * More documentation has been written.
180 Changes for the class writer:
182 * project::record_missing_dep was split out of project::record_dep.
184 * Dependencies are now stored in a hash instead of an array.
186 * The "label" special_edge attribute is now an array of strings, to
187 be presented on several lines.
189 ==================================================
191 Version 0.6.1 - 2005-04-26
195 * Fixed the distribution which misses the C and perl extractors.
197 ==================================================
199 Version 0.6 - 2005-04-24
203 * A typo in the graphincludes::params package prevented the
204 parameters default values to be used.
206 Command-line changes:
208 * New --language flag to select syntax of source files.
210 * Preliminary support for extracting perl dependencies, using
213 Changes for the class writer:
215 * C-specific behaviour is now located in new extractor::C class.
217 * Changed special_edge() return value to an hash of graphviz node
218 attribute/value pairs
220 * More methods were moved from project::default up to ancestor
223 ==================================================
225 Version 0.5 - 2005-04-20
227 Command-line changes:
229 * --Include is now recognized as long form for -I.
231 * New --sysInclude option to specify system directories. Included
232 files not found in the project, but found in those directories are
233 not considered as "not found".
235 Other end-user-visible changes
237 * Removed inconditional duplicate warnings flooding the output.
239 * Verbose diagnostics are now output unconditionally into a
240 graph-includes.report (or <file>.graph-includes.report) file.
242 Changes for the class writer:
244 * The constructor for the project classes now uses named parameters,
245 instead of positional parameters.
246 * Global parameters were moved to a new graphincludes::params package.
248 ==================================================
250 Version 0.4 - 2005-04-17
252 Command-line changes:
254 * Implemented cpp-like "-I <dir>" syntax for #include lookup,
255 dropping the infamous former ad-hoc heuristic.
257 Other end-user-visible changes
259 * `#include "..."' are now analyzed using the standard cpp semantics,
260 and `#include <...>' line are now considered as well.
264 * Many code cleanups.
266 ==================================================
268 Version 0.3 - 2005-04-14
272 * Fixed a bug in the ad-hoc #include resolver which caused some
273 dependencies to be ignored
275 Command-line changes:
277 * New --paper option to get a graph printable on paper (for now, only
280 Other end-user-visible changes
282 * More documentation has been written.
284 ==================================================
286 Version 0.2 - 2005-04-01
290 * --output would reject its argument.
292 * --focus and --showdropped caused invalid output.
294 Command-line changes:
296 * New --prefixstrip option to make the graph more readable by
297 stripping a common prefix from all filenames.
299 * Obsolete (pre 0.1 !) --allfiles option was completely dropped.
301 Other end-user-visible changes
303 * More documentation has been written.
305 * The default project-class (and the sample wesnoth class) now
306 provide default singleton level-2 groups (so "--group 2-2" should
307 work on all projects).
309 Changes for the class writer:
311 * The tool expect a project class to build its dependency graph in an
312 init() method, instead of in the constructor.
314 * The project class constructor now takes an additional prefixstrip
315 argument. More changes to come in this area to cause such changes
316 to be less disruptive in the future.
318 * A project class can now specify excuses for abusive dependencies,
319 to be shown in as edges of a different color, and with the excuse
322 ==================================================
