Status of Sphinx
Reading several reactions to Tarek’s New Year meme suggestion, I saw Sphinx in the first answer of quite a few of them, and that made me very happy. Thanks to you all!
As a result, I feel I should give a short summary of what is up next for Sphinx.
Although it may have seemed that way before Christmas: Unlike Armin, I am not going to switch away from my Python development (I’ve also volunteered for the post of release manager for Python 3.2.x), although it has been slowed by the diploma thesis quite a bit, so progress is not always as fast as I hoped it could be.
These are the next milestones:
- A bugfix release 0.6.4 (with a compatibility fix for the recently released Pygments 1.2)
- A 1.0 beta release containing the domains work
- Bringing the sphinx-web Summer of Code branch up to date and include it at some point
I’ll also write a short post about other news in 1.0 soon.
I’m not much of a memer, but I’ll say here: thanks for Sphinx! It’s been a huge missing piece of the Python ecosystem for a long time… not for a lack of effort, but I guess it just hadn’t been done quite right before Sphinx, which is a testament to your design sense.

Sphinx would also be my answer to meme question number 1. Thanks a lot for your outstanding work!
