docutils/parsers/rst/directives/tables.py
docutils/writers/html4css1/__init__.py - Fix [ 3600051 ] for tables in a list, table cells are not compacted. - New setting stylesheet_dirs (see above).
Now, it is easy to add a custom stylesheet to Docutils' default stylesheet with, e.g., --stylesheet_path='html4css1.css, mystyle.css'
- Changed behaviour of the default settings:
if there is a file html4css1.css in the working directory of the process at launch, it is used instead of the one provided by Docutils in the writer source directory.
Note
Docutils 0.9.x is the last version supporting Python 2.3.
Docutils 0.10 is compatible with Python versions from 2.4 to 3.2 (cf. Python 3 compatibility).
General:
SmartQuotes transform for typographic quotes and dashes.
docutils/math, docutils/error_reporting.py, and docutils/urischemes.py moved to the utils package. Code importing these modules needs to adapt, e.g.:
try:
import docutils.math as math
except ImportError:
import docutils.utils.math as math
enhanced math and error handling.
docutils/io.py
General:
Several fixes for Python 3 usage.
docutils/setup.py
Fix [ 3527842 ]. Under Python 3, converted tests and tools were installed in the PYTHONPATH. Converted tests are now stored in docutils/test3/, tools no longer need conversion.
If you installed one of Docutils versions 0.7 ... 0.9 with setup.py install under Python 3, remove the spurious test/ and tools/ directories in the site library root.

most directives now support a "name" option that attaches a reference name. So you can write
.. figure:: image.png :name: figure name
as a short form of
.. _figure name: .. figure:: image.png

Docutils 0.6 is compatible with Python versions from 2.3 up to 2.6 and convertible to 3.1 code.
Note
The "newlatex" writer is orphaned.
The recommended way to generate PDF output is to use either the LaTeX2e writer or one of the alternatives listed at http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/links.html#pdf.

Docutils 0.4.x is the last version that will support Python 2.1. Docutils 0.5 will not be compatible with Python 2.1; Python 2.2 or later will be required.
Docutils 0.4.x is the last version that will make compromises in its HTML output for Netscape Navigator 4. Docutils 0.5 will require more up-to-date browsers (the exact definition is to be determined).
