HeaderDoc Release Notes

HeaderDoc 8 is the latest incarnation of the HeaderDoc tool. HeaderDoc 8.5 is an enhanced version of HeaderDoc 8.

The HeaderDoc Tools Suite consists of a series of Perl scripts and several small C helper applications that allows conversion of documentation embedded in header files in many languages into HTML and other output formats.

HeaderDoc 8 is nearly a rewrite of HeaderDoc from the ground up. It incorporates the functionality of previous versions but also provides a number of new features, such as declaration syntax coloring/highlighting and an easier-to-use comment syntax. These features are described in “Major Features”.

HeaderDoc 8 adds a number of additional languages with various levels of support. These are described in “Languages Supported”.

HeaderDoc 8 also adds a number of new (optional) tags for convenience. These are described in “New Tags”.

Finally, HeaderDoc 8.5 adds a C preprocessor for more advanced header parsing. This is described in “Using the C Preprocessor”.

For additional information, see the documentation that is packaged with HeaderDoc.
