## 0.12.0

## 0.9.0
Wed, 17 Oct 2018 04:47:19 GMT

### Minor changes

- (API change) Change `DocBlock` to have a `DocSection` property rather than inheriting from `DocSection`; this eliminates confusion about which nodes belong to the container
- (API change) Rename `DocParticle` to `DocExcerpt`, and eliminate the `Excerpt` class
- (API change) Eliminate `DocNodeLeaf`, since now `DocExcerpt` is the only class that can represent excerpts
- (API change) Remove `DocNode.updateParameters()` because it is no longer needed
- (API change) Spacing is now represented as a normal `DocExcerpt`, rather than via a special `Excerpt.spacingAfterContent`
- (API change) Simplify `DocNodeTransforms.trimSpacesInParagraph()` to no longer merge/remap excerpts during the transformation. If we need this information, we will track it differently.

- Code spans are now allowed to be adjacent to other text, but must contain at least one character
- An `@deprecated` block must contain a deprecation message
- If `@inheritDoc` is used, then the summary section must be empty, and there must not be an `@remarks` block

### Minor changes

- Rename `DocCodeSpan.text` to `DocCodeSpan.code` and model the delimiters using particles

- `DocSection` content is now grouped into `DocParagraph` nodes; blank lines are used to indicate paragraph boundaries

## 0.3.0
Sat, 25 Aug 2018 05:53:56 GMT

### Minor changes

- Add TextRange.isEmpty()

## 0.2.0
Fri, 24 Aug 2018 01:19:56 GMT

- Initial release of the TSDoc library!  :-)
