<section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>

<p> It is now possible to use Erlang specifications and
types in EDoc documentation. Erlang specifications and
types will be used unless there is also a function
specification (<c>@spec</c>) or a type alias
(<c>@type</c>) with the same name. In the current
implementation the placement of <c>-spec</c> matters: it
should be placed where the <c>@spec</c> would otherwise
have been placed. </p>
<p>Not all Erlang types are included in the
documentation, but only those exported by some
<c>export_type</c> declaration or used by some documented
Erlang specification (<c>-spec</c>). </p>
<p> There is currently no support for overloaded Erlang
specifications. </p>
<p> The syntax definitions of EDoc have been augmented to
cope with most of the Erlang types. (But we recommend
that Erlang types should be used instead.) </p>
<p> <c>edoc:read_source()</c> takes one new option,
<c>report_missing_types</c>. <c>edoc_layout:module()</c>
takes one new option, <c>pretty_printer</c>. </p>

<p> The <c>edoc_lib</c> module is meant to be private,
but since it is referred to from other man pages it has
been included in the OTP documentation. The modifications
introduced in this ticket make all functions private
except those referred to from other pages. </p>

<section><title>Edoc 0.7.6.6</title>
<section><title>Improvements and New Features</title>
<list>
<item>
<p>The documentation is now possible to build in an open
source environment after a number of bugs are fixed and
some features are added in the documentation build
process. </p>
<p>- The arity calculation is updated.</p>
<p>- The module prefix used in the function names for
bif's are removed in the generated links so the links
will look like
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2"
instead of
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2".</p>
<p>- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html
documentation when a new page is loaded.</p>
<p>- A number of corrections in the generation of man
pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan)</p>
<p>- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so
OTP's build process can be used for non OTP
applications.</p>
