910 even to warnings. Almost all messages now mention the macro where
912 The mandoc(1) manual now includes a list explaining all messages.
913 --- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---

980 * In the mdoc(7) SYNOPSIS, line breaks and hanging indentation
982 Thanks to Franco Fichtner for doing part of the work.
983 * The mdoc(7) .Bk macro got some addititonal bugfixes.
984 * In mdoc(7) macro arguments, double quotes can now be quoted

986 Thanks to Tsugutomo ENAMI for the patch.
987 * At the end of man(7) macro lines, end-of-sentence spacing
988 now works. Thanks to Franco Fichtner for the patch.

1033 gmdiff, a very small, very simplistic groff-versus-mandoc output
1037 Changes in version 1.12.1, released on March 23, 2012
1039 * Significant work on apropos(1) and mandocdb(8). These tools are now
1040 much more robust. A whatis(1) implementation is now handled as an
1041 apropos(1) mode. These tools are also able to minimally handle
1042 pre-formatted pages, that is, those already formatted by another
1044 * The man.cgi(7) script is also now available for wider testing.
1046 HTML output is generated on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal
1047 methods to convert pre-formatted pages.
1054 * This version features a new, work-in-progress mandoc(1) output mode:
1055 -Tman. This mode allows a system maintainer to distribute man(7)
1056 media for older systems that may not natively support mdoc(7), such
1058 * The -Ofragment option was added to mandoc(1)'s -Thtml and -Txhtml modes.
1059 * While adding features, an apropos(1) utility has been merged from the
1060 mandoc-tools sandbox. This interfaces with mandocdb(8) for semantic
1061 search of manual content. apropos(1) is different from the traditional
1064 syntax for apropos is likely to change as it settles down.
1065 * In documentation news, the mdoc(7) and man(7) manuals have been
1067 moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE SYNTAX to the roff(7) manual,
1068 and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections down to the
1070 * Furthermore, for tbl(7), the -Tascii mode horizontal spacing of tables
1071 was rewritten completely. It is now compatible with groff(1), both
1073 * Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in man(7), and several
1075 * The page headers in mdoc(7) are now nicer for very long titles.
1077 Changes in version 1.11.7, released on September 2, 2011
1079 * Added demandoc(1) utility for stripping away macros and escapes.
1080 This replaces the historical deroff(1) utility.
1081 * Also improved the mdoc(7) and man(7) manuals.
1085 * Handling of tr macro in roff(7) implemented. This makes Perl
1087 man(7) format documents. Many other general improvements have been
1092 * Significant eqn(7) improvements. mdocml can now parse arbitrary eqn
1094 low-level roff with eqn). See the eqn(7) manual for details.
1095 For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text.
1102 * Bug-fixes and clean-ups across all systems, especially in mandocdb(8)
1103 and the man(7) parser. This release was significantly assisted by
1108 * Introduce locale-encoding of output with the -Tlocale output option and
1109 Unicode escaped-character input. See mandoc(1) and mandoc_char(7),
1110 respectively, for details. This allows for non-ASCII characters (e.g.,
1111 \[u5000]) to be rendered in the locale's encoding, if said environment
1112 supports wide-character encoding (if it does not, -Tascii is used
1114 -DUSE_WCHAR in the Makefile, in which case -Tlocale is always a synonym
1115 for -Tascii.
1116 * Furthermore, multibyte-encoded documents, such as those in UTF-8, may
1117 be on-the-fly recoded into mandoc(1) input by using the newly-added
1118 preconv(1) utility. Note: in the future, this feature may be
1119 integrated into mandoc(1).
1123 * Corrected some installation issues in version 1.11.1.
1124 * Further migration to libmandoc.
1129 Changes in version 1.11.1, released on April 4, 2011
1133 real manuals, from line-handling to tbl(7) parsing.
1141 * Initial eqn(7) functionality is in place. For the time being,
1142 this is limited to the recognition of equation blocks;
1145 Changes in version 1.10.9, released on January 7, 2011
1147 * Many back-end fixes have been implemented: argument handling (quoting),
1148 man(7) improvements, error/warning classes, and many more.
1149 * Initial tbl(7) functionality (see the "TS", "TE", and "T&" macros in
1150 the roff(7) manual) has been merged from tbl.bsd.lv. Output is still
1151 minimal, especially for -Thtml and -Txhtml, but manages to at least
1152 display data. This means that mandoc(1) now has built-in support
1153 for two troff preprocessors via libroff: soelim(1) and tbl(1).
1157 * Overhauled the -Thtml and -Txhtml output modes. They now display
1158 readable output in arbitrary browsers, including text-based ones like
1159 lynx(1). See HTML and XHTML manuals in the DOCUMENTATION section
1160 for examples. Attention: available style-sheet classes have been
1164 * see also the changes in 1.10.7

1169 * many new roff(7) components,
1170 * in-line implementation of troff's soelim(1),
1171 * broken-block handling,
1177 * Calling conventions for mandoc(1) have changed: -W improved and -f
1179 * Non-ASCII characters are also now uniformly discarded.
1183 * Lastly, pod2man(1) preambles are now fully accepted after some
1184 considerable roff(7) and special character support.
1188 * Primarily a bug-fix and polish release, but including -Tpdf support
1189 in mandoc(1) by way of "Summer of Code". Highlights:
1191 * fix end-of-sentence handling for embedded sentences
1192 * polish man(7) documentation
1193 * document all mdoc(7) macros
1194 * polish mandoc(1) -Tps output

1226 * Removed manuals(7) in favour of http://manpages.bsd.lv.
1229 to groff's method.
1230 * Furthermore, the -Owidth=width output option has been added to -Tascii,
1231 see mandoc(1).
1232 * Lastly, initial PostScript output has been added with the -Tps option
1233 to mandoc(1). It's brutally simple at the moment: fixed-font, with no
1238 * Release consisting of the results from the m2k10 hackathon and up-merge
1239 from OpenBSD. This requires a significant note of thanks to Ingo
1241 and again to Joerg for hosting m2k10. Highlights (mostly cribbed from
1244 roff(7) instructions;
1245 * end-of-sentence (EOS) detection in free-form and macro lines;
1246 * correct handling of tab-separated columnar lists in mdoc(7);
1247 * improved main calling routines to optionally use mmap(3) for better
1249 * cleaned up exiting when invoked as -Tlint or over multiple files
1250 with -fign-errors;
1251 * error and warning message handling re-written to be unified for
1253 * handling of badly-nested explicit-scoped macros;
1254 * improved free-form text parsing in libman and libmdoc;

1271 * This is a stable roll-back point before the mandoc hackathon in Rostock!
1275 * Rolled back break-at-hyphen.
1276 * -DUGLY is now the default (no feature splits!).
1277 * Free-form text is not de-chunked any more: lines are passed
1278 whole-sale into the front-end, including whitespace.
1281 Changes in version 1.9.23, released on April 7, 2010
1283 * mdocml has been linked to the OpenBSD build.
1285 by OpenBSD, allowing crufty manuals to slip by with warnings instead
1286 of erroring-out.
1289 * Lastly, some issues with -Thtml have been fixed, which prompted an
1290 update to the online manual pages style layout.
1296 for non-columnar lists) to work properly. This isn't
1297 enabled by default: you must specify -DUGLY as a compiler
1302 * More efforts to get roff instructions in man(7) documents under
1303 control. Note that roff instructions embedded in line-scoped,
1304 next-line macros (e.g. "B") are not supported.
1305 * Leading punctuation for mdoc(7) macros, such as "Fl ( ( a",
1310 * Many fixes (largely pertaining to scope)
1311 and improvements (e.g., handling of apostrophe-control macros,
1313 to handling roff instructions in man(7) documents.
1317 * Accept perlpod(1) standard preamble.
1324 allowed man(7) to accept non-printing elements to be nested
