WARNING: The 'build_manpage' setup.py command will be removed v5
WARNING: We'll drop the Python 2.7 support in v5

News in v4

  • The manual page generator logic is now separated from the 'build_manpages'
    module (which provides setup.py integration helpers). Therefore the
    argparse-manpage doesn't necessarily have to depend on setuptools.
    Projects that want to integrate using 'setup.py' should though place a new
    "extra" named 'argparse-manpage[setuptools]' into their set of build
    requirements in project.toml file.

  • The old 'build_manpage' command (!= 'build_manpages') is now more
    isolated from the rest of the code, likely never loaded.

  • the Manpage class API was changed in v3 so it required an additional
    constructor 'data' argument. This change was reverted, and the only
    argument is again the ArgumentParser object.

  • The 'version' and 'description' options were fixed.

  • New options 'manual_section' and 'manual_title' were added.

  • The manual page now automatically generates a current date in headers.

  • Several groff escaping issues were fixed.
