 * The `target` keyword of `deploydocs` is now required to point to a subdirectory of `root` (usually the directory where `make.jl` is located). (#2019)

 ### Fixed
 
 * Documenter now generates the correct source URLs for docstrings from other packages when the `repo` argument to `makedocs` is set (note: the source links to such docstrings only work if the external package is cloned from GitHub and added as a dev-dependency). However, this change **breaks** the case where the `repo` argument is used to override the main package/repository URL, assuming the repository is cloned from GitHub. (#1808)
