phpDocumentor version 1.1.0rc1 RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT

June 9, 2002 RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT phpDocumentor version 1.1.0rc1 http://www.phpdoc.org Download: http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net/downloads.php The phpDocumentor Development team would like to announce the release of phpDocumentor version 1.1.0rc1. This is a release candidate for 1.1.0 to ensure that all bugs have been fixed before release phpDocumentor is the most advanced auto-documentation system available for PHP. Similar to the auto-documentor included with PEAR, phpDocumentor parses documentation comments in the PHP source to create hyperlinked API references for projects. Unlike the PEAR auto-documentor, phpDocumentor is extremely fast, has excellent documentation included, and the ability to parse any legal PHP syntax. phpDocumentor is the only auto-documentor written specifically for PHP that supports output to formats other than HTML. With 1.1.0rc1 comes a pre- alpha PDF Converter to demonstrate the facility. Through the use of "Converters" similar to JavaDoc's doclets, phpDocumentor can interface parsing output to any template with minimal coding. In addition, 6 HTML templates come standard with phpDocumentor. Other features include: --fully 25% faster than version 1.0.0 --able to directly parse a CVS repository --parses any php file, with multiple classes and functions in the same file --fully compliant with even the most esoteric php syntax ($string = <<< EOF, for example) --greatly improved ease of Converter programming --parsing of global and static variables --documentation of name conflicts between packages --auto-linking to elements in any package --error/warnings by line number and file to allow for debugging of documentation tags --extensive documentation of the package, including a detailed specification for tags and templates --open source, GPL phpDocumentor is fast becoming the standard auto-documentor, and is used by several PHP projects including PostNuke Content Management (http://www.postnuke.com), phpRPC (http://phprpc.sourceforge.net/), and XMap (http://opensource.under.com.br/xmap/docs/) To Download, go to http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net/downloads.php The phpDocumentor development team Joshua Eichorn Gregory Beaver
