Compare Source

Changelog: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html

Bugs fixed

  '\\fvset{fontsize=auto}' from '\\fvset{fontsize=\\small}'.
  Code-blocks are unchanged as FreeMono is now loaded with Scale=0.9.
  An adjustment to existing projects is needed only if they used a custom
  :ref:fontpkg configuration and did not set :ref:fvset.

  supplied to :confval:html_last_updated_fmt.
  Patch by Adam Turner.
• #​12910: Copyright entries now support the '%Y' placeholder
  to substitute the current year.
  This is helpful for reducing the reliance on Python modules
  such as :py:mod:time or :py:mod:datetime in :file:conf.py.
  See :ref:the docs <config-copyright> for further detail.
  Patch by Adam Turner.
• #​11781: Add roles for referencing CVEs (:rst:role::cve: <cve>)

• #​12730: The UnreferencedFootnotesDetector transform has been improved
  to more consistently detect unreferenced footnotes.

  (silent) apply as well to the PDF build phase.
  Patch by Jean-François B.

  (note: continuation of a partial fix added in Sphinx 7.3.0)

  and ensure deterministic resolution of global toctree in parallel builds
  by choosing the lexicographically greatest parent document.

• #​12995: Significantly improve performance when building the search index
  for Chinese languages.
  Patch by Adam Turner.
• #​12767: :py:meth:.Builder.write is typed as final, meaning that the
