What's new in Devhelp 3.34.0
Sep 13, 2019
- Enable back-forward swipe gesture in the HTML pages.
- Write more contributor docs.
- Translation updates.
New in Devhelp 3.32.0 (Mar 13, 2019)
- GNOME goal “App menu retirement”: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiatives/issues/4
- GNOME goal “App Icon Redesign”: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiatives/issues/2 (yes Devhelp has a new icon now).
- A few minor and irrelevant improvements to the code.
- A pile of translation updates as usual.
New in Devhelp 3.30.1 (Oct 29, 2018)
- Build: requires Meson >= 0.47.
- Translation updates.
New in Devhelp 3.30.0 (Jul 16, 2018)
- A few small improvements.
- Translation updates.
New in Devhelp 3.29.3 (Jun 17, 2018)
- Devhelp has moved to the GNOME GitLab instance. The bugzilla tickets have not yet been migrated to the GitLab issues, so before filing a new issue on GitLab, please search the bugzilla first. All links are available as usual on: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Devhelp
- Finally write a HACKING file.
- Do not show a GtkInfoBar on error, use the WebKitWebView default implementation to simplify the code.
- Code refactorings: from DhWindow extract DhNotebook, DhSearchBar and bind_sidebar_and_notebook() function, and delegate more work to DhWebView.
- Make the following classes re-usable and move them to the libdevhelp: DhWebView, DhTab, DhTabLabel, DhNotebook and DhSearchBar. And move dh_window_bind_sidebar_and_notebook() to the libdevhelp.
- Flatpak: run Amtk and Devhelp unit tests after building those modules.
- Application icons: rename filenames to org.gnome.Devhelp.*, to simplify the Flatpak manifest.
- Build system: fix the remaining places where the libdevhelp API/major version was hardcoded, use the variable instead, to easily bump it in the future.
- Other small improvements.
- Translation updates.
New in Devhelp 3.29.2 (May 21, 2018)
- A new, more flexible book management architecture in the libdevhelp:
- DhBookManager is now completely empty and entirely deprecated, the minimum amount of API is kept to not break Anjuta. It has been replaced by a more flexible infrastructure: DhProfile, DhSettings and DhBookList. If an application uses only the default libdevhelp widgets it will still work fine – even if the code of the application is not adapted – because in that case it will use the default DhProfile, which contains the same content as how DhBookManager was implemented.
- Whether a DhBook is enabled/selected is now decoupled from DhBook: dh_book_get_enabled() and dh_book_set_enabled() have been removed, as well as the DhBook::enabled and DhBook::disabled signals. For a book to be enabled it now needs to be part of a DhBookList, which is more flexible because there can be several different DhBookLists in parallel.
- Allow custom search paths to load DhBooks, with DhBookListDirectory.
- Port other Devhelp classes to DhProfile and DhBookList.
- Listen to external changes to the "books-disabled" GSettings key.
- Some code cleanup and minor bug fixes.
- Flatpak: convert manifest to YAML.
- Translation updates.
New in Devhelp 3.28.0 (Mar 14, 2018)
- Improve default GSettings values.
- A few other small improvements.
- Translation updates.
New in Devhelp 3.28.0 Beta (Feb 27, 2018)
- Flatpak: see books installed on the host (usually installed by traditional Linux distribution packages). The Flatpak needs to be built with the new --enable-flatpak-build configure flag.
- Lots of code refactorings, fixing various bugs along the way. Have more classes, but smaller: from DhKeywordModel extract DhSearchContext; from DhWindow extract DhWebView, DhTab and DhTabLabel.
- All bugs in bugzilla fixed (only enhancement bugs remaining).
- Write more unit tests.
- Write first page of *user* documentation (in Mallard), to explain some features of the search in the side panel.
- Fix and document a feature useful for integration with other developer tools: filtering by book and page when doing a search, see the README.
- Improve error info bar (shown on top of the HTML page), use the TeplInfoBar utility class, copied from the Tepl library.
- Fixed bugs:
- #696905, press Escape to cancel search

- Do not use deprecated GCompletion API, implement re-usable DhCompletion class based on GSequence with an API better suited for Devhelp.
- Do not use deprecated GdkScreen API, use GdkMonitor.
