merge libmaple docs ("leaflabs-docs") into ./docs
In the past, libample documentation was forked out of this repository because the documentation had increased in scope. For the librambutan, and the rambutan project in general, we will try to keep documentation closer to the source code, so the librambutan-specific documentation should live here. Other sections of leaflabs-docs will be culled in a following commit. This merge attempts to maintain history by using a subtree strategy. Followed directions at: http://nuclearsquid.com/writings/subtree-merging-and-you/ Full history for files should be accessible using the "--follow" flag to git log, eg: git log --follow docs/source/adc.rst It should be possible to pull patches from leaflabs-docs with: git pull -s subtree leaflabs-docs master ... at least until the docs in this repository diverge significantly.

+What's New
+==========
+
+.. FIXME [RELEASE] finish.
+
+This page tracks updates to libmaple and MapleIDE.
+
+.. contents::
+ :local:
+ :depth: 1
+
+v0.0.13
+-------
+
+.. We started doing this as we updated the docs on 29 Jun 2012, so
+.. updates before then need to be pulled from libmaple's Git logs.
+
+**General Changes**
+
+- Additional STM32 support: for this release, libmaple was taught
+ how to target STM32F1 value line (thanks to Anton Eltchaninov) and
+ STM32F2 series microcontrollers. It learned a huge bag of new
+ tricks as a result, so this list is only a summary of the most
+ important changes.
+
+- New include style: You should now include libmaple and Wirish
+ headers like this (respectively)::
+
+ #include <libmaple/libmaple.h>
+ #include <wirish/wirish.h>
+
+ The old include style (e.g. ``#include "libmaple.h"``) is now
+ **deprecated**, and will **break in the next release**. This is more
+ standard usage for libraries, and was necessary to e.g. allow for
+ implementing a Wiring/Arduino-style SPI library (which is included
+ as ``#include "SPI.h"`` and clashes with :ref:`libmaple-spi` on
+ case-insensitive filesystems like OS X's).
+
+- :ref:`Windows instructions <toolchain-win-setup>` for the
+ :ref:`unix-toolchain`.
+
+**Wirish**
+
+- Wire I2C library: New, improved, and more Arduino-compatible
+ :ref:`Wire <libs-wire>` library, thanks to Trystan Jones.
+
+**libmaple proper**
+
+Better documentation: The old documentation for libmaple's C layer did
+little more than list the Doxygen comments in the source code. It now
+includes explanatory material and usage notes. See
+:ref:`libmaple-apis`.
+
+.. FIXME [0.0.13] this is ugly
+
+Major changes by header follow.
+
+.. list-table::
+ :header-rows: 1
+ :widths: 1 10
+
+ * - Header
+ - Changes
+
+ * - :ref:`libmaple-rcc`
+ - :ref:`rcc_clk_init() <rcc-rcc_clk_init>` is deprecated. Use
+ :ref:`rcc_configure_pll() <libmaple-rcc-rcc_configure_pll>` as
+ the basis for a portable replacement; see the
+ ``rcc_clk_init()`` docs for a porting guide.
+
+ * - :ref:`libmaple-libmaple_types`
+ - Various new attributes and type qualifiers.
+
+ * - :ref:`libmaple-adc`
+ - New :ref:`adc_enable_single_swstart()
+ <adc-adc_enable_single_swstart>` and :ref:`adc_config_gpio()
+ <adc-adc_config_gpio>`, for portably enabling ADC peripherals
+ and their associated pins for use with :ref:`adc_read()
+ <adc-adc_read>`.
