  • v2.0.0.0 Changes

    • The GHC API is used as the front-end

    • Haddock now understands all syntax understood by GHC 6.8.2

    • Haddock can generate documentation for some of the language extensions in GHC 6.8.2

    • Format of module attributes has changed. The only way of specifying module attributes is via a new OPTIONS_HADDOCK pragma. Example: {-# OPTIONS_HADDOCK hide, prune #-}

    • Haddock understands literate source files

    • Add a small library to read Haddock's interface files

    • Add a flag -B for passing the path to the GHC lib dir

    • Add a flag --optghc for passing options to GHC

    • Add a flag --ghc-version for printing the GHC version

    • Remove --use-package, --allow-missing-html, --ghc-pkg, in favour of only supporting --read-interface

    • Remove --package flag, the GHC flag -package-name can be used instead

    • Remove --no-implicit-prelude flag, the GHC flag -XNoImplicitPrelude can be used instead


  • v1.4.5

    August 02, 2017
  • v1.4.5-release

    August 02, 2017
  • v0.9 Changes

    • Infix type operators, e.g., first :: a~>a' -> (a,b)~>(a',b)

    • Add a search box to the index page which automatically narrows the index to the search as you type (thanks to Neil Mitchell).

    • Add a --ghc-pkg flag

    • Add a flag --allow-missing-html

    • URL expansion for %%, %L, %{LINE}

    • added substitution %{FILE///c}

    • Lexing of /.../ is now more like '...', in that a / character must be matched by another / character on the same line, otherwise it is treated as a literal '/'. This removes a common source of accidental parse errors in documentation.

    • Various bugs were fixed.

    • Cabal 1.2 is now required, and Haddock builds with GHC 6.8.x.


  • v0.8 Changes

    • Haddock has a Cabal build system, and will build on Windows without Cygwin or MSYS. GHC 6.4 or later is required.

    • New options: --comments-base, --comments-module, --comments-entity for generating links to pages (eg. wiki) for collecting user comments.

    • New options: --source-base, --source-module, --source-entity for generating links to source code. Haddock now understands {-# LINE #-} pragmas, which means it can figure out the correct name for the source file even if the file is preprocessed.

    • Haddock generates output for populating the Hoogle search engine.

    • New markup <> for including images.


  • v0.7 Changes

    • Changes in the way Haddock decides where to direct hyperlinks. Each entity

      is now assigned a single "home" module, and all hyperlinks are directed to that module. See the docs ("Hyperlinking and re-exported entities") for details.

    • New options --ignore-all-exports, --hide

    • New option --use-package for creating documentation that hyperlinks to the HTML documentation for existing packages on your system. It works by querying ghc-pkg for the location of the Haddock interface and HTML for the given package.

    • Parts of the HTML documentation, notably lists of instances, are now "collapsible" with a +/- button. Also, the contents page is now in the form of tree in which subtrees can be collapsed.

    • Support for Microsoft DevHelp and HtmlHelp 2.0 formats.

    • Support for a short description for each module for the contents page.

    • Compiles with GHC 6.4+

    • Various bugfixes


  • v0.6 Changes

    • Implicit parameters, zip comprehensions and 'mdo' are now supported by the parser.

    • Some lexical bugs were fixed, mainly concerning literal paragraphs next to non-literal paragraphs.

    • New options: --gen-index, --use-index, --gen-contents and --use-contents, for generting a combined index and contents for several libraries from the appropriate .haddock files.

    • There is now one index rather than separate Function/Constructor and Type/Class indices. Where a name refers to several entities, these are listed separately in the index.

    • New option: -v, elicits more verbose warnings. Some warnings are now turned off by default; Haddock should be a little less noisy in general.

    • Markup for definition lists has been added. See the documentation for details.

    • New option: --package for setting the package name. The package is listed alongside each module name in the combined contents.

    • Entities which are re-exported from another package now at least leave a hyperlink in the generated HTML, rather than nothing at all.

    • Some fixes for bugs which caused incorrect hyperlinks in the generated HTML. In particular, instances should now be linked correctly.

    • Some aesthetic improvements to the generated HTML.


  • v0.5 Changes

    • Compiles with recent versions of GHC.

    • A few bugs have been fixed.

    • New labelling/linking feature (see "Anchors" in the manual).


  • v0.4 Changes

    • Import declarations which list entities in parentheses, or with hiding clauses, are now properly supported. Modulo one or two small infelicities, the full Haskell modules system is now supported.

    • Haddock is now more flexible about the placing of separators (commas, semicolons) in relation to doc comments.

    • There is support for generating and reading "interface files" which describe the exports of a set of modules. This is useful for generating documentation which hyperlinks to previously-generated documentation.

    • Support for generating the extra files required by the Microsoft Help compiler.

    • New option: --prologue specifies a file of documentation which is placed on the contents page.

    • Many bugs fixed


  • v0.3 Changes

    • Documentation on individual function arguments is now implemented

    • Links can be made to identifiers that aren't in scope, by using the fully qualified name.

    • Instances are collected and listed with the appropriate classes and datatypes (not for derived instances yet).

    • Single quotes are only interpreted specially when they surround a legal Haskell identifier, otherwise they are treated literally.

    • Bird-tracked text is now literal. If you want marked-up text in a code block, use the @...@ notation instead.

    • Various changes to the layout, it generally looks nicer now.

    • Various bugs fixed.
