Release Name: 2.2.1

Notes:
RDoc is an application that produces documentation for one or more Ruby source
files.  RDoc includes the +rdoc+ and +ri+ tools for generating and displaying
online documentation.

At this point in time, RDoc 2.x is a work in progress and may incur further
API changes beyond what has been made to the RDoc 1.0.1.  Command-line tools
are largely unaffected, but internal APIs may shift rapidly.

See RDoc for a description of RDoc's markup and basic use.


Changes: === 2.2.1 / 2008-09-24 This version provides some minor fixes and enhancements to 2.2.0 intended to polish RDoc for Ruby 1.9.1. * 3 Minor Enhancements * Support for parsing RDoc from SWIG. Ruby patch #10742 by Gonzalo Garramuno, #13993 by Steven Jenkins. * Simple support for Perl POD documentation. Patch by Hugh Sasse. * Changed the default character set of RDoc's output from iso-8859-1 to utf-8. * 9 Bug Fixes * Explicitly set the html template's text color, so that the generated documentation will display correctly on browsers with custom text and background color settings (patch by Luther Thompson). * Ensure that RDoc correctly will associate an alias and a method, even if it encounters the alias first because the alias lives in a different file. * Fix the parsing of multiline constants (patch by Chris Alfeld and Joel VanderWerf) * Make --exclude usuable. Ruby patch #11671 by Trans. * Detect inline C functions. Ruby Bug #11993 by Florian Frank. * Fix an issue in which RDoc might not document a class' superclass correctly if the class was defined in multiple files and depending on the order in which RDoc processed the files. This should ensure that the child class -> parent class relationship is correct in ri documentation, allowing ri to lookup inherited methods (i.e., File.read). * Stop ri from crashing when it looks for a completely bogus method (i.e., File#reada). Now, ri exits with a helpful error message. * Fixed missing display of constant values in ri. * Fixed display of constants in ri's html output.
