The project version moves to 1.0.0, which the library soname, the
reported version, the test expectations, and the generated document
filename all derive from. SOVERSION now matches the major version.
The generated reference is built from the source and its documentation
comments alone. Prose from docs/ was briefly part of the input and is
removed: development notes are written and read on their own, and a
generator that reproduces them adds nothing. The reference opens on a
front page declared in the public header, followed by the module
contract.
One target builds it. Both PDF and HTML are produced by default, the
finished documents land in the build tree under docs/pdf and docs/html,
and the generators work in docs/tmp.
The internal namespace is dpm_core, matching the artifact name as
closely as a C++ identifier permits.
Building the docs target now generates the reference and leaves finished
documents in the build tree's docs directory: pdf/ holds the compiled
PDF, html/ holds the browsable reference when that format is enabled.
Doxygen and LaTeX work under docs/tmp/, which clean removes along with
the rest of the tree.
The reference has a front page and a structure. The markdown documents
in docs/ are part of the input, OVERVIEW.md becomes the landing page,
and the rest follow as chapters ahead of the namespace, class, and file
reference. The module contract, previously a plain comment block
invisible to Doxygen, is a page in its own right.
Struct and enum members throughout the headers carry documentation, on
their own lines above what they describe.
dpm_require no longer takes a minimum version and applies no version
criterion of its own. A handle now means the module is valid, not that
it suits the caller. dpm_module_info_of is added alongside it, reporting
the name, version, description, and minimum-libdpm-core version read at
load, so a consuming module can judge a dependency's version for itself.
The one rule still enforced is the minimum-version handshake, where
libdpm-core is the host and refuses a module that demands a newer library
than the one running.
dpm_module_info_of joins the version script, so the exported surface is
now fourteen symbols under DPM_CORE_1.0.
Separately, the bare word "core" is gone from prose everywhere. It named
both the command-line tool and the library, so every use forced the
reader to guess which. Text now says "the dpm binary" or "libdpm-core".
Identifiers keep their spelling: libdpm-core, core.h, core.conf, the
"core" configuration namespace, dpm_core_version, core_min, DPM_CORE_1.0,
the dpmcore namespace, test_core, core_api.
Three user-visible strings changed with it: the load-refusal message now
reads "requires libdpm-core >= X, running libdpm-core is Y — update
libdpm-core", and the info module's description and help text name the
library. The test asserting on the refusal text was updated to match.
DESIGN.md's terminology line no longer defines "DPM Core" as the CLI,
which was the source of the ambiguity. OVERVIEW.md is restructured around
the three layers a reader meets DPM at — user, developer, filesystem —
so a code-level symbol never appears without saying whose layer it is.
MODULES.md describes the bundled info module as testing and demonstrating
full DPM system functionality rather than as a reference implementation.
