Release 0.6.2

Bugfix release: bumps rules_jvm_external dependency to support building with --incompatible_disable_starlark_host_transitions

Contributors

Release 0.6.1

Bugfix release: fix rules_jvm_external pin warnings.

This release temporarily restores compatibility with Bazel 5 (manually tested). Note that normally we only test Stardoc with the current stable Bazel and with Bazel at HEAD - not with older releases. We make no promises about maintaining compatibility with Bazel 5.

Release 0.6.0

New Features

  • Stardoc no longer escapes HTML tags in documentation. Feel free to use HTML formatting in your docs! We now also have much-improved rendering for fenced code blocks in attribute docs, and render attribute default values using Markdown instead of HTML markup. (#161, #167)

  • Stardoc now dedents and trims all doc strings - not only in macros (#170). This means you can have

    my_rule = rule(
    doc = """
    This is my rule.

    Here is more info about it.

    ...
    """,
    ...
)

    and Stardoc will dedent and trim the doc to

    This is my rule.

Here is more info about it.

...

  • When using Bazel 7 or newer (or current Bazel HEAD), Stardoc will by default use the native starlark_doc_extract rule internally (#166).

    This means, in particular:

    • correct default values for rule attributes in all cases
    • documentation for module extensions
    • more complete documentation for repository rules
    • by default (this can be turned off via render_main_repo_name = False), we will render labels in your main repo with a repo component: your main module name (when using bzlmod) or WORKSPACE name (#168).

    You may temporarily disable the new extractor by calling Stardoc with use_starlark_doc_extract = False. However, after Bazel 7 is released, we plan to remove this argument and always use the new extractor.

Incompatible Changes

  • The Markdown renderer now uses Google EscapeVelocity instead of Apache Velocity for templating. The templating engines are almost compatible, with the exception of escapes in string literals: if in your template you had a string literal with a character escape, you would need to expand it.

    For example, instead of

    ${funcInfo.docString.replaceAll("\n", " ")}

    you would need

    ${funcInfo.docString.replaceAll("
", " ")}

  • When using the native starlark_doc_extract extractor, Stardoc requires two additional templates: repository_rule_template and module_extension_template. If you are using custom templates, you will probably want to define these, following the examples in stardoc/templates/markdown_tables.

  • When using the native starlark_doc_extract extractor, Stardoc cannot document generated .bzl files any more - because Bazel cannot load() generated .bzl files.

Other Notable Changes

  • The Markdown renderer's source now lives in the Stardoc repo; we build the renderer from source instead of using a bundled jar. Unfortunately, if you are not using bzlmod, this requires a rather complicated WORKSPACE setup; see https://github.com/bazelbuild/stardoc/releases/tag/0.6.0

Release 0.4.0

First release of Stardoc under the new repository location bazelbuild/stardoc. Please use this repository for future Stardoc releases instead of its old location. See Getting Started for updated setup information.

There are many new features since the last release. A summary of major features:

  • Changed the default Stardoc output format to use pure-markdown tables instead of HTML tables. This output format is fully compatible with markdown formatting constructs. For example, use **bold** instead of <b>bold</b>. The <. and > characters are escaped in this output format.
  • Stardoc now supports custom formatting. See Custom Output documentation for details.
  • aspect() definitions are now documented by Stardoc.
  • Module definitions (structs which combine series of functions in a 'namespace') are now documetned by Stardoc.
  • Attribute default-value information is now included in output.

Huge Thanks to kendalllaneee and blossommojekwu for their work on many of the features in this release.
