2.0.0-beta

CHANGES:

• New model for expanding and cross referencing (@jonludlam, @Julow, @lubegasimon)

This is a brand-new implementation, ensuring that the expansions and links are
correct, requring no rendering of hidden modules, and correctly handling functors,
destructive substitution, module type of expressions, dependently-typed functors
and other complex language features.

• New document output layer, supporting HTML, LaTeX and man page output (@Drup, @Octachron, @jonludlam, @Julow, @lubegasimon)

This release introduces a new intermediate representation of the documentation,
allowing new backend renderers to be added without having to understand every
detail of the language. Included with this release are renderers for HTML,
LaTeX and man pages.

• Experimental parent/child support for structured output (@jonludlam)

This allows the output pages to be structured in a hierarchy. This is an experimental
feature intended to enable the support of more complex outputs, such as that required
to produce a site documenting all opam packages.
