==============================
Dependencies
------------
* Require Docutils 0.18.1 or greater.
Incompatible changes
--------------------
* LaTeX: removal of some internal TeX ``\dimen`` registers (not previously
publicly documented) as per 5.1.0 code comments in ``sphinx.sty``:
``\sphinxverbatimsep``, ``\sphinxverbatimborder``, ``\sphinxshadowsep``,
``\sphinxshadowsize``, and ``\sphinxshadowrule``. (refs: #11105)
* Remove ``.egg`` support from pycode ``ModuleAnalyser``; Python eggs are a
now-obsolete binary distribution format
* #11089: Remove deprecated code in ``sphinx.builders.linkcheck``.
Patch by Daniel Eades
* Remove internal-only ``sphinx.locale.setlocale``
Deprecated
----------
* #11247: Deprecate the legacy ``intersphinx_mapping`` format
Features added
--------------
* #11277: :rst:dir:`autoproperty` allows the return type to be specified as
a type comment (e.g., ``# type: () -> int``). Patch by Bénédikt Tran
* #10811: Autosummary: extend ``__all__`` to imported members for template rendering
when option ``autosummary_ignore_module_all`` is set to ``False``. Patch by
Clement Pinard
* #11147: Add a ``content_offset`` parameter to ``nested_parse_with_titles()``,
allowing for correct line numbers during nested parsing.
Patch by Jeremy Maitin-Shepard
* Update to Unicode CLDR 42
* Add a ``--jobs`` synonym for ``-j``. Patch by Hugo van Kemenade
* LaTeX: a command ``\sphinxbox`` for styling text elements with a (possibly
rounded) box, optional background color and shadow, has been added.
See :ref:`sphinxbox`. (refs: #11224)
* LaTeX: add ``\sphinxstylenotetitle``, ..., ``\sphinxstylewarningtitle``, ...,
for an extra layer of mark-up freeing up ``\sphinxstrong`` for other uses.
See :ref:`latex-macros`. (refs: #11267)
* LaTeX: :dudir:`note`, :dudir:`hint`, :dudir:`important` and :dudir:`tip` can
now each be styled as the other admonitions, i.e. possibly with a background
color, individual border widths and paddings, possibly rounded corners, and
optional shadow. See :ref:`additionalcss`. (refs: #11234)
* LaTeX: admonitions and :dudir:`topic` (and
:dudir:`contents <table-of-contents>`) directives, and not only
:rst:dir:`code-block`, support ``box-decoration-break=slice``.
* LaTeX: let rounded boxes support up to 4 distinct border-widths (refs: #11243)
* LaTeX: new options ``noteTextColor``, ``noteTeXextras`` et al.
See :ref:`additionalcss`.
* LaTeX: support elliptical corners in rounded boxes. (refs: #11254)
* #11150: Include source location in highlighting warnings, when lexing fails.
Patch by Jeremy Maitin-Shepard
* #11281: Support for :confval:`imgmath_latex` ``= 'tectonic'`` or
``= 'xelatex'``. Patch by Dimitar Dimitrov

directive. Patch by Bénédikt Tran (picnixz)
* #11110: LaTeX: Figures go missing from latex pdf if their files have the same
base name and they use a post transform. Patch by aaron-cooper
* LaTeX: fix potential color leak from shadow to border of rounded boxes, if
shadow color is set but border color is not
* LaTeX: fix unintended 1pt upwards vertical shift of code blocks frames
respective to contents (when using rounded corners)
* #11235: LaTeX: added ``\color`` in topic (or admonition) contents may cause color
leak to the shadow and border at a page break
* #11264: LaTeX: missing space before colon after "Voir aussi" for :rst:dir:`seealso`
directive in French

Docutils 0.17 support. Patch by Adam Turner
Incompatible changes
--------------------
* #7405: Removed the jQuery and underscore.js JavaScript frameworks.
These frameworks are no longer be automatically injected into themes from
Sphinx 6.0. If you develop a theme or extension that uses the
``jQuery``, ``$``, or ``$u`` global objects, you need to update your
JavaScript to modern standards, or use the mitigation below.
The first option is to use the sphinxcontrib.jquery_ extension, which has been
developed by the Sphinx team and contributors. To use this, add
``sphinxcontrib.jquery`` to the ``extensions`` list in ``conf.py``, or call
``app.setup_extension("sphinxcontrib.jquery")`` if you develop a Sphinx theme
or extension.
The second option is to manually ensure that the frameworks are present.
To re-add jQuery and underscore.js, you will need to copy ``jquery.js`` and
``underscore.js`` from `the Sphinx repository`_ to your ``static`` directory,
and add the following to your ``layout.html``:
.. code-block:: html+jinja
{%- block scripts %}
<script src="{{ pathto('_static/jquery.js', resource=True) }}"></script>
<script src="{{ pathto('_static/underscore.js', resource=True) }}"></script>
{{ super() }}

``get_display_prefix`` which now returns a list of nodes
instead of a plain string.
