The interface from AutoDoc to .predoc and .doc files was changed. In version 1.0 a single command, 'dist', was used to give the user limited access to the facilities of the global distribution object. The new interface however links all available commands directly into the safe interpreter evaluating the files. Please read the integration page for more.

The crossreference interface was changed in the following way

• Added command 'variable' to allow references to member variables of the defined classes.
• Added shortcut 'x' for 'xref' command.
• Enhanced the commands 'method', 'option' and 'variable' to allow references without specification of a classname. The class enclosing the reference is automatically used.
• Changed the separator character used by the command 'method', 'option' and 'variable' from '/' to ':'. References using the old character are recognized, but marked as error and not evaluated.
• Added methods to handle images (conversion, definition and referencing), see distribution:imgConverter, distribution:imgDef and distribution:imgRef.
• Added commands to allow the crossreferencing of images from code documentation. These are 'img' and its shortcut 'i'.
• Moved the substitution phase of crossreference resolution into a separate interpreter. Made the the formatting commands genericFormatter:strong and genericFormatter:ampersand available. 'strong' was already available, but only due to the fact that Don Libes cgi library was imported (it provides 'strong' as a shortcut of 'cgi_strong'). The correct result was purely accidential. Now it is made right, and extensible in the future.

The embbeded command @member (short form @m) was replaced with @var and @v. The former is recognized, but marked as error and not evaluated. See the command page for more.
