HeaderDoc Release Notes

HeaderDoc 8 is the latest incarnation of the HeaderDoc tool. It consists of a series of perl scripts and several small C helper applications that allows conversion of documentation embedded in header files in many languages into HTML and other output formats.

HeaderDoc 8 is the first major feature release in a while. We held off releasing this until now because we wanted to make sure that it was solid before unleashing it upon an unsuspecting public.

Thus, we bring you HeaderDoc 8. HeaderDoc 8 is nearly a ground-up rewrite of HeaderDoc. It incorporates all of the functionality of previous versions, but also provides a number of new features, such as declaration syntax coloring/highlighting and an easier-to-use comment syntax. These features are described in “Major Features”.

HeaderDoc 8 also adds a number of additional languages with various levels of support. These are described in “Languages Supported”.

Finally, HeaderDoc 8 adds a number of new (optional) tags for convenience. These are described in “New Tags”.

For additional information, see the documentation that is packaged with HeaderDoc.
