Synopsis is a source code documentation tool that follows a modular
architecture to adapt to different languages, comment styles and output
formats. Currently it provides parsers for IDL, C++, and Python, and a
number of formatter modules. It has the ability to scale to large projects,
and to integrate well with Makefiles to only update documentation for changed
files. One of the goals of Synopsis is to integrate the documentation between 
different languages,  for example linking implementations in any language with 
their CORBA interfaces and vice versa.

The main code is written in Python, the C++ parser is a module based on OpenC++,
and the IDL parser is a module based on the omniidl tool.

Changes:
Release 0.3 adds Python support, the ability to cross-reference across language
boundaries by means of a flexible linker module, and a formatter for graph generation,
based on graphviz.
The build process is now autoconf based.
