HappyDoc

A bug was fixed where output was written to the wrong place when the -d option was used. The PluginLoader no longer requires a '.py' extension on plugins, allowing plugins not written in Python.

Much of the code base has been rearranged to protect the namespace for HappyDoc
code (as well as other Python libraries). Package descriptions can now be
extracted from the __init__.py module docstring instead of always having to be
in a README file. A problem with the HTMLTable formatter that caused pages to
look odd in many browsers was fixed.

A variety of modifications were implemented to support Python 2.0 syntax
updates. A plugin system was added for docstring converters to allow module
authors to write docs using different markup styles. External files are now
recognized by their extension. The global default setting for docstrings can be
passed on the command line or a file-specific setting can be embedded in the
input file. The default markup syntax was updated to StructuredTextNG,
replacing the original StructuredText. A system to allow file-specific parser
control variables to be embedded in the input source files was implemented.

This is the initial release announcement on freshmeat. Version 0.7.1 is still in development, but should be usable. It has not been assigned a 1.x version number because there are core features left to be implemented.
