docs: Convert ReleaseNotes to reST.
This is the last of the "regular" documents to convert to reST, and so
I'm declaring the initial clang reST conversion "done".
However,
- There are some documents in clang/www/ which probably should
be migrated into clang/docs/, such as www/OpenProjects.html
The primary thing blocking me from doing this right now is not knowing
how to set up a redirect so that the old URL's continue to work.
- LibASTMatchersReference.html is not reST. This page is auto-generated
by clang/docs/tools/dump_ast_matchers.py from the source and has some
collapse/expand logic that isn't expressible directly with Sphinx, so
just converting it to reST is not really a good strategy.
Manuel Klimek and I discussed this and the general agreed-upon
direction is making that page data-driven so that it, say, pulls in an
auto-generated blob of JSON which describes the matchers and builds up
the "matcher reference" part of the page with a small amount of JS.
- There are some rogue .txt files hanging around.
Also, I dropped the little dragon logo at the top because Sphinx was
warning about an external image reference (not sure why, but meh, I
didn't want to fight it). If anything, we would want such a logo
integrated into the site's overall theme, rather than hardcoded here.

docs: Convert ReleaseNotes to reST.
This is the last of the "regular" documents to convert to reST, and so
I'm declaring the initial clang reST conversion "done".
However,
- There are some documents in clang/www/ which probably should
be migrated into clang/docs/, such as www/OpenProjects.html
The primary thing blocking me from doing this right now is not knowing
how to set up a redirect so that the old URL's continue to work.
- LibASTMatchersReference.html is not reST. This page is auto-generated
by clang/docs/tools/dump_ast_matchers.py from the source and has some
collapse/expand logic that isn't expressible directly with Sphinx, so
just converting it to reST is not really a good strategy.
Manuel Klimek and I discussed this and the general agreed-upon
direction is making that page data-driven so that it, say, pulls in an
auto-generated blob of JSON which describes the matchers and builds up
the "matcher reference" part of the page with a small amount of JS.
- There are some rogue .txt files hanging around.
Also, I dropped the little dragon logo at the top because Sphinx was
warning about an external image reference (not sure why, but meh, I
didn't want to fight it). If anything, we would want such a logo
integrated into the site's overall theme, rather than hardcoded here.

|
API documentation which are up-to-date with the Subversion version of
|
|
|
|
|
the source code. You can access versions of these documents specific to
