py-doctor: updated to 23.9.1

pydoctor 23.9.1

Fix regression in link not found warnings' line numbers.

pydoctor 23.9.0

This is the last major release to support Python 3.6.

Do not show **kwargs when keywords are specifically documented with the keyword \ 
field and no specific documentation is given for the **kwargs entry.
Fix annotation resolution edge cases: names are resolved in the context of the \ 
module scope when possible, when impossible, the theoretical runtime scopes are \ 
used. A warning can be reported when an annotation name is ambiguous (can be \ 
resolved to different names depending on the scope context) with option -v.
Ensure that explicit annotation are honored when there are multiple declarations \ 
of the same name.
Use stricter verification before marking an attribute as constant:
instance variables are never marked as constant
a variable that has several definitions will not be marked as constant
a variable declaration under any kind of control flow block will not be marked \ 
as constant
Do not trigger warnings when pydoctor cannot make sense of a potential constant \ 
attribute (pydoctor is not a static checker).
Fix presentation of type aliases in string form.
Improve the AST colorizer to output less parenthesis when it's not required.
Fix colorization of dictionary unpacking.
Improve the class hierarchy such that it links top level names with intersphinx \ 
when possible.
Add highlighting when clicking on "View In Hierarchy" link from class page.
Recognize variadic generics type variables (PEP 646).
Fix support for introspection of cython3 generated modules.
Instance variables are marked as such across subclasses.

Log message:
py-doctor: restore not for Python 3.8 setting (fix bulk builds)

This is marked not for 3.8 because py-lunr is, which in turn is because
py-nltk is, which is in turn evidently because py-numpy is (though,
there it is only a TEST_DEPENDS).

Log message:
py-doctor: updated to 23.4.1

pydoctor 23.4.1

Pin urllib3 version to keep compatibility with cachecontrol and python3.6.

pydoctor 23.4.0

Add support for Python 3.11
Add support for the @overload decorator.
Show type annotations in function's signatures.
If none of a function's parameters have documentation, do not render the \ 
parameter table.
Themes have been adjusted to render annotations more concisely.
Fix a rare crash in the type inference. Invalid python code like a set of lists \ 
would raise a uncaught TypeError in the evaluation.
Support when source path lies outside base directory (--project-base-dir). Since \ 
pydoctor support generating docs for multiple packages, it is not certain that \ 
all of the source is even viewable below a single URL. We now allow to add \ 
arbitrary paths to the system, but only the objects inside a module wich path is \ 
relative to the base directory can have a source control link generated.
Cache the default docutils settings on docutils>=0.19 to improve performance.
Improve the search bar user experience by automatically appending wildcard to \ 
each query terms when no terms already contain a wildcard.
Link recognized constructors in class page.
An invalid epytext docstring will be rederered as plaintext, just like invalid \ 
restructuredtext docstrings (finally).

pydoctor 22.9.1

pydoctor --help works again.

pydoctor 22.9.0

Add a special kind for exceptions (before, they were treated just like any other \ 
class).
The ZopeInterface features now renders again. A regression was introduced in \ 
pydoctor 22.7.0.
Python syntax errors are now logged as violations.
Fixed rare crash in the rendering of parsed elements (i.e. docstrings and ASTs). \ 
This is because XHTML entities like non-breaking spaces are not supported by \ 
Twisted's XMLString at the moment.
Show the value of type aliases and type variables.
The --prepend-package now work as documented. A regression was introduced in \ 
pydoctor 22.7.0 and it was not nesting new packages under the "fake" \ 
package.
self parameter is now removed only when the target is a method. In the previous \ 
version, it was always removed in any context.
cls parameter is now removed only when the target is a class method. In the \ 
previous version, it was always removed in any context.
Add anchors aside attributes and functions to ease the process of sharing links \ 
to these API docs.
Fix a bug in the return clause of google-style docstrings where the return type \ 
would be treated as the description when there is no explicit description.
Trigger warnings for unknown config options.
Fix minor UX issues in the search bar.
Fix deprecation in Docutils 0.19 frontend

Twisted's customizations).
* Add support for re-exporting names imported from a wildcard import.

pydoctor 22.5.1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

fix crashing with ``AttributeError`` when processing type fields.

pydoctor 22.5.0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Add Read The Docs theme, enable it with option ``--theme=readthedocs``.
* Add a sidebar. Configure it with options ``--sidebar-expand-depth`` and \ 
``--sidebar-toc-depth``. Disable with ``--no-sidebar``.
* Highlight the active function or attribute.
* Packages and modules are now listed together.
* Docstring summaries are now generated from docutils nodes:

  - fixes a bug in restructuredtext references in summary.
  - still display summary when the first paragraph is long instead of "No \ 
summary".

rules doesn't fit the use case.
* Option ``--docformat=plaintext`` overrides any assignments to ``__docformat__``
  module variable in order to focus on potential python code parsing errors.

* Packages wins over modules when there is a name clash.
* Fixed that modules were processed in a random order leading to several hard to \ 
reproduce bugs.
* Intersphinx links have now dedicated markup.
  With the default theme,
  this allows to have the external intershinx links blue while the internal \ 
links are red.
* Smarter line wrapping in summary and parameters tables.
* Any code inside of ``if __name__ == '__main__'`` is now excluded from the \ 
documentation.
* Fix variables named like the current module not being documented.
* The Module Index now only shows module names instead of their full name. You \ 
can hover over a module link to see the full name.
* If there is only a single root module, `index.html` now documents that module \ 
(previously it only linked the module page).
* Fix introspection of functions comming from C-extensions.
* Fix that the colorizer might make Twisted's flatten function crash with \ 
surrogates unicode strings.

pydoctor 21.12.1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Include module ``sre_parse36.py`` within ``pydoctor.epydoc`` to avoid an extra \ 
PyPi dependency.

pydoctor 21.12.0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Add support for reStructuredText directives ``.. deprecated::``, ``.. \ 
versionchanged::`` and ``.. versionadded::``.
* Add syntax highlight for constant values, decorators and parameter defaults.

* Following google style guide, ``*args`` and ``**kwargs`` are now rendered with \ 
asterisks in the parameters table.
* Mark variables as constants when their names is all caps or if using `Final` \ 
annotation.

pydoctor 21.9.2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Fix ``AttributeError`` raised when parsing reStructuredText consolidated \ 
fields, caused by a change in ``docutils`` 0.18.

pydoctor 21.2.1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Fix presentation of the project name and URL in the navigation bars, such that \ 
it works as expected on all generated HTML pages.

pydoctor 21.2.0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Removed the ``--html-write-function-pages`` option. As a replacement, you can \ 
use the generated Intersphinx inventory (``objects.inv``) for deep-linking your \ 
documentation.
* Fixed project version in the generated Intersphinx inventory. This used to be \ 
hardcoded to 2.0 (we mistook it for a format version), now it is unversioned by \ 
default and a version can be specified using the new ``--project-version`` \ 
option.
* Fixed multiple bugs in Python name resolution, which could lead to for example \ 
missing "implemented by" links.
* Fixed bug where class docstring fields such as ``cvar`` and ``ivar`` are \ 
ignored when they override inherited attribute docstrings.
* Property decorators containing one or more dots (such as \ 
``@abc.abstractproperty``) are now recognized by the custom properties support.
* Improvements to `attrs`__ support:

  - Attributes are now marked as instance variables.
  - Type comments are given precedence over types inferred from ``attr.ib``.
  - Support positional arguments in ``attr.ib`` definitions. Please use keyword \ 
arguments instead though, both for clarity and to be compatible with future \ 
``attrs`` releases.

* Improvements in the treatment of the ``__all__`` module variable:

  - Assigning an empty sequence is interpreted as exporting nothing instead of \ 
being ignored.
  - Better error reporting when the value assigned is either invalid or pydoctor \ 
cannot make sense of it.

* Added ``except`` field as a synonym of ``raises``, to be compatible with \ 
epydoc and to fix handling of the ``:Exceptions:`` consolidated field in \ 
reStructuredText.
* Exception types and external base classes are hyperlinked to their class \ 
documentation.
* Formatting of ``def func():`` and ``class Class:`` lines was made consistent \ 
with code blocks.
* Changes to the "Show/hide Private API" button:

  - The button was moved to the right hand side of the navigation bar, to avoid \ 
overlapping the content on narrow displays.
  - The show/hide state is now synced with a query argument in the location bar. \ 
This way, if you bookmark the page or send a link to someone else, the show/hide \ 
state will be preserved.
  - A deep link to a private API item will now automatically enable "show \ 
private API" mode.

* Improvements to the ``build_apidocs`` Sphinx extension:

  - API docs are now built before Sphinx docs, such that the rest of the \ 
documentation can link to it via Intersphinx.
  - New configuration variable ``pydoctor_url_path`` that will automatically \ 
update the ``intersphinx_mapping`` variable so that it uses the latest API \ 
inventory.
  - The extension can be configured to build API docs for more than one package.

* ``pydoctor.__version__`` is now a plain ``str`` instead of an \ 
``incremental.Version`` object.

pydoctor 20.12.1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Reject source directories outside the project base directory (if given), \ 
instead of crashing.
* Fixed bug where source directories containing symbolic links could appear to \ 
be outside of the project base directory, leading to a crash.
* Bring back source link on package pages.

pydoctor 20.12.0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Python 3.6 or higher is required.

* There is now a user manual that can be built with Sphinx or read online on \ 
`Read the Docs`__. This is a work in progress and the online version will be \ 
updated between releases.

* Added support for Python language features:

  - Type annotations of function parameters and return value are used when the \ 
docstring does not document a type.
  - Functions decorated with ``@property`` or any other decorator with a name \ 
ending in "property" are now formatted similar to variables.
  - Coroutine functions (``async def``) are included in the output.
  - Keyword-only and position-only parameters are included in the output.

* Output improvements:

  - Type names in annotations are hyperlinked to the corresponding documentation.
  - Styling changes to make the generated documentation easier to read and navigate.
  - Private API is now hidden by default on the Module Index, Class Hierarchy \ 
and Index of Names pages.
  - The pydoctor version is included in the "generated by" line in the \ 
footer.

* All parents of the HTML output directory are now created by pydoctor; \ 
previously it would create only the deepest directory.

* The ``--add-package`` and ``--add-module`` options have been deprecated; pass \ 
the source paths as positional arguments instead.

* New option ``-W``/``--warnings-as-errors`` to fail your build on documentation \ 
errors.

* Linking to the standard library documentation is more accurate now, but does \ 
require the use of an Intersphinx inventory \ 
(``--intersphinx=https://docs.python.org/3/objects.inv``).

* Caching of Intersphinx inventories is now enabled by default.

* Added a `Sphinx extension`__ for embedding pydoctor's output in a project's \ 
Sphinx documentation.

* Added an extra named ``rst`` for the dependencies needed to process \ 
reStructuredText (``pip install -U pydoctor[rst]``).

* Improved error reporting:

  - More accurate source locations (file + line number) in error messages.
  - Warnings were added for common mistakes when documenting parameters.
  - Clearer error message when a link target is not found.

* Increased reliability:

  - Fixed crash when analyzing ``from package import *``.
  - Fixed crash when the line number for a docstring error is unknown.
  - Better unit test coverage, more system tests, started adding type \ 
annotations to the code.
  - Unit tests are also run on Windows.
