This document describes the changes made to the EDoc application.

Own Id: OTP-8749

## Edoc 0.7.6.6

### Improvements and New Features

The documentation is now possible to build in an open source environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process.

- The arity calculation is updated.

- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2" instead of "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2".

- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded.

- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan)

- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.

### Improvements and New Features

Undefined macros only cause warnings, not errors. New, built-in @version macro. Documented the @docfile and @headerfile generic tags. Added recognition of "TODO:" as a wiki equivalent for @todo tags. Added documentation about overview pages. 'where' and ',' are allowed as separators in specs. Corrected ambiguity in spec grammar (possible incompatibility issue - parentheses may need to be added in some cases, in existing code). Experimental (and undocumented) support for @param and @return tags and corresponding "..." annotations on @spec parameters.
