For mandoc developers, we now provide a tbl(3) library manual and gmdiff,
a very small, very simplistic groff-versus-mandoc output comparison tool.

-- Significant work on apropos and mandocdb. These tools are - now much more robust. - A whatis implementation is now handled as an apropos mode. - These tools are also able to minimally handle pre-formatted pages, that is, those already formatted by another utility - such as GNU troff. -
-- The man.cgi script is also now available for wider testing. It interfaces with mandocdb manuals cached by catman. HTML output is generated - on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal methods to convert pre-formatted pages. -
-- The mailing list archive for the discuss and tech lists are being hosted by Gmane at gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.user and gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.devel, respectively. -
-- Lastly, I'm no longer providing binaries, as nobody has asked for them. -
