Releases for API

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.

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!

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)

- Add ability to make a link to an HTML file in documentation (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)

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

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

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.
