  • ANNOUNCE: Ruff! 2.2

    From apn@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 22 10:59:45 2022
    Primary new feature in v2.2 is support for embedded diagrams.

    Ruff! (Runtime function formatter) is a documentation generation system
    for programs written in the Tcl programming language. Ruff! uses runtime introspection in conjunction with comment analysis to generate reference documentation for Tcl programs with minimal effort on the programmer's part.

    See https://ruff.magicsplat.com for documentation.

    For additional examples of Ruff! generated documentation, see

    * Added end-user control for positioning navigation pane.
    * Classes defined with metaclasses are recognized.
    * Proc and method synopsis overrides, for example
    to distinguish invocation options.
    * Web assets are linked by default (option `-linkassets`) instead
    of being embedded.
    * **Incompatibility:** Generated HTML and CSS templates have changed
    and require modern browsers (no Internet Explorer support).
