-If you edited Misc/NEWS before it was converted to ReST format skimming this
-file should help make the transition a bit easier. For full details about
-Docutils and ReST, go to the Docutils website:
-
- http://docutils.sourceforge.net/
-
-To process Misc/NEWS using Docutils, you'll need the latest docutils
-snapshot:
-
- http://docutils.sf.net/docutils-snapshot.tgz
-
-Docutils works with Python 2.2 or newer.
-
-To process NEWS into NEWS.html, first install Docutils, and then run
-this command:
-
- python .../docutils/tools/rst2html.py NEWS NEWS.html
-
-Here ".../docutils" is the directory into which the above snapshot was
-extracted. (I hope this recipe will change for the better.)
-
-David Goodger made a change to the allowable structure of internal
-references which greatly simplified initial conversion of the file.
-
-The changes required fell into the following categories:
-
-* The top-level "What's New" section headers changed to:
-
- What's New in Python 2.3 alpha 1?
- =================================
-
- *Release date: DD-MMM-2002*
-
- Note that the release date line is emphasized, with a "*" at each
- end.
-
-* Subsections are underlined with a single row of hyphens:
-
- Type/class unification and new-style classes
- --------------------------------------------
-
-* Places where "balanced" single quotes were used were changed to use
- apostrophes as both the opening and closing quote (`string' -> 'string').
-
-* In a few places asterisks needed to be escaped which would otherwise have
- been interpreted as beginning blocks of italic or bold text, e.g.:
-
- - The type of tp_free has been changed from "``void (*)(PyObject *)``"
- to "``void (*)(void *)``".
-
- Note that only the asterisks preceded by whitespace needed to be escaped.
-
-* One instance of a word ending with an underscore needed to be quoted
- ("PyCmp_" became "``PyCmp_``").
-
-* One table was converted to ReST form (search Misc/NEWS for "New codecs"
- for this example).
-
-* A few places where chunks of code or indented text were displayed needed
- to be properly introduced (preceding paragraph terminated by "::" and the
- chunk of code or text indented w.r.t. the paragraph). For example:
-
- - Note that PyLong_AsDouble can fail! This has always been true,
- but no callers checked for it. It's more likely to fail now,
- because overflow errors are properly detected now. The proper way
- to check::
-
- double x = PyLong_AsDouble(some_long_object);
- if (x == -1.0 && PyErr_Occurred()) {
- /* The conversion failed. */
- }
