The phpDocumentor team would like to announce the release of phpDocumentor
1.2.0 BETA 3. This is a beta release and may have bugs and may have a different
structure from the final release

The phpDocumentor team would like to announce the release of phpDocumentor
1.2.0 BETA 3. This is a beta release and may have bugs and may have a different
structure from the final release. This beta has a new CSV:dia2code converter
written by Harald Fielker. The converter generates a file that can be used to
create a UML diagram and then using dia2code, generate php code from the diagram.

In addition, the new tags @example, and @filesource have been implemented
with full syntax highlighting and linking to other areas. Tag @internal and
inline tag {@internal}} are available to help create documentation sets.
Documentation has also been updated, although more work needs to be done.

Once again, phpDocumentor brings a great increase in usability with the 1.2
branch. The addition of a tokenizer-based parser increases parsing speed by
up to 4 times (that's 400% faster) compared to previous versions. In addition,
scalability has been improved, allowing generation of documents in multiple
output formats with one command. The usage of config files makes repetitive
parsing tasks straightforward and reduces the chance for error.

The addition of DocBlock templates, extended documentation (tutorials) parsing,
and many other new features make this release the most useful automatic
documentor for any programming language.

The default HTML Converter has been ported to a new Smarty-based converter,
HTMLframesConverter, and all of the old templates have been ported to the new
Smarty-based format. The HTMLdefaultConverter has been deprecated since its
functionality is redundant. Due to the time it takes to convert a template to
the new format, the phpDocumentor team extends an offer to do this conversion
for anyone who has a brand new template. We may also include the template in a
future release, if permission is granted.

Due to interest from PEAR programmers, there is a new beta-quality XML:DocBook
converter with peardoc2 templates. This converter could also generate other
DocBook formats, if desired, but does not generate indexing for this release.

The PDF Converter has stepped up to beta-quality, is fully templatable, and
has most bugs completely fixed. The CHM converter has also taken major strides
and is close to beta quality.

As predicted, the Smarty template engine is the primary template engine for
all converters.

A full listing of all closed bugs and feature requests can be found in the
next section of the notes

phpDocumentor 1.2.0BETA3 is not ready for production use documenting any PHP
project, although it is very stable. Download it and try the most advanced
solution for PHP documentation today to help us find the last persistent bugs.
There are MANY in the new XML DocBook Converter. Please try it out and find
them so we can begin to fix them. HTML Converters are both very stable, as are
the Parsers.
