Releases for API

Release notes

Third beta-test release of the 7.x version of the API module -- several issues have been fixed since the previous beta releases. It's closer to ready for release, but there are still some known issues. Check the API module issue queue for an updated status, and please report any problems you see that aren't already there.

Note: One issue in particular makes it impossible to parse/display the Drupal 8.x Symfony code (and probably also other PHP code with namespaces in it):
#1548920: Symfony code in Drupal 8 code base cannot be parsed

Also note that you might be better off trying the 7.x-1.x-dev release instead of this Beta, which is likely more up-to-date (or better yet, using Git version control to get the most up-to-date version).

In any case, thanks for testing!

Release notes

Last 6.x release!

This is planned to be the last Drupal 6.x version release for the API module (unless there is a dire emergency). After this release, we are not planning on doing any more development on the 6.x branch, and we'll start porting the API module to Drupal 7.x. Once the first stable 7.x version is released, we will stop supporting the 6.x branch completely.

Changes since version 6.x-1.8

This release is the same as 6.x-1.9-beta2, and nearly the same as 6.x-1.x-beta1. Here is a list of all the changes since 6.x-1.8.

User interface updates

- Fix bug in references/linking that prevented references/links between a function and a theme call to a same-named theme hook (issue)
- Handle linking better for chained methods (issue)
- Make linking/references distinguish between class methods and properties (issue)
- Make "list of calls to" page for class methods (issue)
- Fix class display page so it will list property and method with same name (issue)
- Make search and auto-complete include overridden methods, which had previously been excluded (issue)

- Make file names within () turn into links too (issue)
- Change displayed summary for HTML files to be the page title rather than first few lines (issue)

Other updates

- Fix bug in setups with multiple directories to scan in same branch (issue)

Release notes

There is one change added since 6.x-1.8-beta1 (read extensive release notes there):

Linking was being a bit too aggressive: matching case-insensitive and matching globals where functions were needed, etc. This was fixed in issue #1482264: False matches (wrong case) when making links

Release notes

Updates in this release

The changes since version 6.x-1.6 are as follows. [Note: this is exactly the same as the 6.x-1.7-beta2 release.]

MAJOR CHANGE

The API module has been converted to use the Drupal Queue module instead of Job Queue to set up its "parse this file" jobs. So, if you upgrade to this version, you will need to install/enable the Drupal Queue module first, then update the API module (and run update.php), then disable the Job Queue module (unless you are using it for some other reason) (issue and followup issue to fix a bug in the original change).

New features

• Allow files in a top-level directory starting with "." to be scanned/parsed (issue and follow-up bug fix issue)
• Display parsing status on the admin page (issue)
• Allow reset of parsing queue from admin page and drush (part of this issue)

User interface updates and bug fixes

Release notes

IMPORTANT NOTE

There is a fairly serious problem with this release:
#1441776: Directories starting with .. -- only the top-level directory is scanned
So if your branches use .. in the "directories to parse" setting, you probably do not want to use this release.

Release notes

Since version 6.x-1.6-beta1 (see release notes), there have been two bug fixes:
#1426118: Make string -> function link a bit less agressive (no class methods/properties)
#1426106: List of functions calling this function includes other branches

(At time of writing, the latter issue is still open for test creation, but the underlying bug has been fixed.)

Release notes

Fix for critical issue:
#1356226: Links in text are to Drupal 8 instead of Drupal 7
