phpDocumentor 1.2.0 Released
Jun 05, 2003 @ 12:09:24

While I don't normally do product announcements on here, I thought that this particualr utility was imporant enough to note the new release of. For everyone out there that hates coming up with documentation for their code, here's the ticket you've been looking for.

The phpDocumentor development team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.2.0 STABLE. This is a stable released and is ready for use in production systems. phpDocumentor is an automatic documenting tool similar to JavaDoc. However, its abilities go far beyond simple extraction of API documentation from source code. phpDocumentor can link to and from external user manuals, highlight source code with cross-referencing hyperlinks, and output in HTML, CHM (MS Windows help file format), PDF (Adobe Acrobat file format), and in XML DocBook for the use of PEAR developers. phpDocumentor is very fast, and makes use of the tokenizer extension for PHP 4.3.0+ users to parse faster than competing auto-documentors.

For anyone that hasn't at least tried this tool, you really should. Sure, it requires you to modify your commenting style a bit, but, in the long run, not having to write docs that detail ever function in your class saves you tons of time (and wear on those fingers).
