Releases for API

Release notes

Changes since 7.x-1.1:

1. Bug fix: The parsing code had a problem when encountering two closures (which amount to unnamed functions) in the same file during parsing, which would cause a fatal database error. That is fixed -- unnamed objects are now not saved as documentation objects. (There was a vendor file in 8.x that triggered this problem.)

2. Feature: YAML, CSS, and a few additional file types/extensions are now parsed/displayed as plain-text files.

3. Feature: You can now exclude directories from parsing by regular expression. This was done because Drupal 8.x core has a lot of vendor test files that we don't need to parse/display on api.drupal.org. These can now be excluded using the regular expression |/vendor/.*[Tt]est|

4. Minor stuff:
- The Overview page now shows the node cleanup counts along with the other queue counts.
- There is a drush command to show the status
- PHP 5.3 is listed as a requirement in the .info file (Grammar Parser requires it)
- During update.php update hooks, if all files are reparsed, the parsing queue is cleaned out too

Release notes

First official 7.x version of the API module! If you are running the 6.x version of the API module, read the documentation on how to upgrade; if you are installing for the first time, read the installation documentation. Both are at: http://drupal.org/node/425940

The 7.x branch of the API module has many bugs fixed and many new features added since the 6.x version. Highlights:
- The administrative interface is better organized and hopefully clearer.
- Branches, PHP function branches, and projects are now separated in the database and in the administrative interface.
- Cross-branch and cross-project linking and searching are more sensible.
- You can specify how often to check branches and PHP function branches for updates, and these updates are done using the Drupal queue system.
- Views integration has been added.
- The search auto-complete uses Drupal Core autocomplete instead of an obsolete jQuery plugin -- which means it functions in a slightly different manner, but is more accessible, will work with large API sites (such as those indexing all of contrib), and we don't have to maintain this obsolete plugin.
- There is more cross-linking and there are more "reference" pages (functions that call this function etc.).
- Efficiency has been improved in many places in the code, via the use of profiling.
- It's compatible with SQLite and PostgreSQL.

Release notes

Note: This release is only compatible with the 7.x-2.x branch of Grammar Parser.

Seventh beta-test release of the 7.x version of the API module -- with some bug fixes and since the last beta release, and the addition of Views integration. Also, as noted above, the code was changed so that it works with the 7.x branch of Grammar Parser. 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: In some versions of PHP, PHP itself may crash when parsing some Drupal Core files. Not sure how to fix that...

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

Fifth beta-test release of the 7.x version of the API module -- some aspects of the API module have been refactored 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.

Major changes since the Beta 4 release:
- The API module now has separate storage (and admin interface) for Projects and Branches.
- Checking for file updates in all branches is no longer necessarily every cron run (there is a setting on each branch for how long to wait), and rather than running the checks directly, jobs are added to a queue.

Note: There is still an open issue that makes it impossible to consistently 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

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

Beta-test release of the 7.x version of the API module. Please report any problems to the API module issue queue, after verifying they have not already been reported. 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)

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
