# Release History

## 7.7.0

### New Features

- #199 Add `spelling:ignore` role for marking inline text to not be checked. See Configuration Options for more details.

## 7.6.2

### Bug Fixes

- #193 Remove excessive debug printing in :spelling:word: and spelling builder implementations.

## 7.6.1

### Bug Fixes

- #188 Fix :spelling:word: directives from being printed verbatim in output files.

## 7.6.0

### Features

- Convert to use Sphinx domains. Add `spelling:word-list` directive. Have `spelling` directive report that it is deprecated.

- Add `spelling:word` role for marking inline text as spelled correctly.

## 7.5.1

### Bug Fixes

- #180 Suppress SystemExit errors in ImportableModuleFilter caused by importing modules that run code on import and exit when that code sees an error. Bug report and reproducer provided by Trevor Gross.

## 7.5.0

### Features

- #151 Added configuration option to limit the number of suggestions output. See Configuration Options for more details. Idea contributed by Trevor Gross.

- #169 Adds the ability to pass in multiple wordlists via the sphinx command line as `-D spelling_word_list_filename=file1,file2`.

### Bug Fixes

- #36 Include captions of figures in the set of nodes for which the text is checked.

## 7.4.1

- #160 Fixed issue with the builder crashing when reporting a misspelled word in a python docstring.

## 7.4.0

- Fix a problem that occurred when the extra word list is empty and an IndexError is thrown. Prevent the error by checking the contents of the file before using the list.

- #153 Ensure the correct relative filename is reported as the location of a misspelled word when the word is in an included file. Log the location ourselves instead of letting the logging system compute it for consistency until the fix is merged into Sphinx.

- Change default env list for local tox runs to only include the current python version, as defined by the installation of tox.

- Tell tox to pass PYENCHANT_LIBRARY_PATH through to commands. On macOS it can be a little tricky to set up libenchant if your default python does not match the one used by Homebrew for the library. Setting the variable to point to the library fixes that, but we don’t want to set it in this file for everyone so use passenv to tell tox to pass the setting through when running the commands for each env.

- #159 Report using the line number of the misspelled word instead of using the first line of the node, in both the log and .spelling output file.

## 7.3.3

### Bug Fixes

- #149 Fixes to support testing when building RPMs. Switch to PEP 420 native namespace and skip contributors test when not in a git repo.

- #150 Minor code cleanup primarily around string interpolation.

## 7.3.2

### Bug Fixes

- #143 Treat `__main__` as a special module name that cannot be imported. If the test suite is invoked by running `python -m pytest` instead of `pytest` then there will be no `__main__` and find_spec() will fail, so this change makes the tests work in both modes.

- #144 Fix python filename handling in `ImportableModuleFilter`. If the word looks like a python module filename, strip the extension to avoid the side-effect of actually importing the module. This prevents, for example, `'setup.py'` triggering an import of the `setup` module during a doc build, which makes it look like Sphinx is complaining about a commandline argument.

## 7.3.1

### Bug Fixes

- #137 replace the use of deprecated `imp` in `ImportableModuleFilter` with `importlib`

## 7.3.0

### New Features

- #131 included a documentation update to fix a broken link.

- #130 tested support for Python 3.10, and added the trove classifier.

- #129 improved the speed of the `ImportableModuleFilter`.

- #128 fixed some issues with the packaging configuration.

## 7.2.0

### New Features

- #123 adds the `spelling_verbose` configuration option for controlling whether misspelled words are printed to the console as well as the output log files. See Output Options for details.

## 7.1.0

### New Features

- #116 adds a config option spelling_warning that makes individual messages about misspellings warnings. The same change also updates the formatting of the message to make it easier for IDEs to parse, allowing the editor to navigate to the location of the misspelled word. See Output Options for details. Contributed by Robert Cohn.

## 7.0.1

### Bug Fixes

- #105 reverts a change that switched from imp to importlib. Using importlib.find_spec() is not safe at runtime as it can import modules which will cause side effects within environments.

## 7.0.0

This major release drops support for Python 3.5. This version is not maintained anymore.

### Bug Fixes

- Fixes an issue with ellipsis incorrectly being interpreted as relative imports and triggering a ValueError in the ImportableModuleFilter. See #96 for details.

## 6.0.0

With this release, sphinxcontrib-spelling moves from beta to stable. It also updates the use of Python 3, including packaging metadata, code style, and test configuration.

### New Features

- Add packaging metadata declaring the project stable.

- Add packaging metadata declaring support for Python 3 only.

- Add packaging metadata indicating that this is a sphinx extension.

### Bug Fixes

- Replace use of deprecated imp module with importlib.

- Update use of pyenchant.get_tokenizer() to pass filters argument as a keyword and avoid a runtime warning message.

- Remove unused test dependency on fixtures.

- Use pyupgrade to modernize the source code.

## 5.4.0

### New Features

- Added a new filter (`sphinxcontrib.spelling.filters.ContributorFilter`) that treats contributor names extracted from the git history as spelled correctly, making it easier to refer to the names in acknowledgments . Includes a new configuration option, `spelling_ignore_contributor_names` to enable it.

## 5.3.0

### New Features

- Add a configuration option `spelling_exclude_patterns` to manage skipping spell checking for some input files. The option uses a list of glob-style patterns that are matched against the source file names relative to the source directory. See Configuration Options for more details. Contributed by sdelliot.

## 5.2.2

### Bug Fixes

- Updated to only create `.spelling` output files for inputs that generate spelling warnings. Fixes #63.

## 5.2.0

### New Features

- The builder is now registered using an entry point, so that if the `spelling` directive is not used in a project `sphinxcontrib.spelling` does not need to be included explicitly in the `extensions` list in `conf.py` in order to use it with the project on the command line.

- PyEnchant is an optional dependency. If it is not installed, the spell checker will not work, but the extension can still be initialized. This allows projects that use spell checking to publish their documentation to `readthedocs.org`, where it is not possible to install PyEnchant.

- Restore support for parallel builds. Words that do not appear in any configured dictionary are written to a file named based on the input file, with the `.rst` extension replaced with `.spelling`.
