Gerbil 1.1.0

Contents

• Improvements  
• Repairs

This release improves usability and fixes some bugs.

1 Improvements

• External links are now marked with a ∗ symbol to help  
the user distinguish between internal and external  
links. This is helpful because a user may not wish to  
follow a link that takes them outside a document, say,  
when they are reading the document offline, without an  
Internet connection.

2 Repairs

• Forgot to update some code when I renamed the  
RDoc.gen\_parse\_tree method in format/rdoc.rb during the  
last release.

• Module methods were omitted by the  
RDoc.gen\_method\_infos method in format/rdoc.rb.
