The generated API-docs can be found here:

[http://avogadro.sourceforge.net/dev-api/main.html](http://avogadro.sourceforge.net/dev-api/main.html)

As you notice the docs are seriously outdated (4 month old). I have no  
clue how to regenerate them. Could somebody please tell me how to do  
that? I would like to improve the API-docs for 0.20.

These are generated using Doxygen, but I was not able to reproduce them by  
simply runnning from the main directory. I believe Donald had some  
procedure to generate those exact pages.

It might be good to have an automated service to update the “dev-api”  
docs, and then as we near a more stable release, give something like:

[http://avogadro.sourceforge.net/api/1.0/](http://avogadro.sourceforge.net/api/1.0/)  
[http://avogadro.sourceforge.net/api/1.1/](http://avogadro.sourceforge.net/api/1.1/)  
etc.

Cheers,

I’ve put together an automated update on my machine with secure login so it  
should start updating the api from trunk automatically everyday.
