+ 24-07-2011: version 1.11.5 +

+

+ Significant eqn improvements. mdocml can now parse arbitrary eqn input + (although few GNU extensions are accepted, nor is mixing low-level roff with eqn). See the eqn + manual for details. For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text. The equation parser satisfies + the language specified in the Second + Edition User's Guide. +

+

+ This is also the first release featuring a distributed Windows binary, available at /binaries/mdocml-win32.zip. +

+ Bug-fixes and clean-ups across all systems, especially in mandocdb makewhatis (note: still not + connected to the general build and must be compiled with make mandocdb make makewhatis) and the man parser. This release was significantly assisted by participants in OpenBSD's c2k11. Thanks! +

- The earlier libroff, libmdoc, and libman soup have been merged into - a single library, libmandoc, which manages all aspects of - parsing real manuals (from line-handling to tbl parsing). -

- Beyond this structural change, initial eqn functionality is in - place. For the time being, this is limited to the recognition of equation blocks; - future version of mdocml will expand upon this framework. -

- As usual, many general fixes and improvements have also occurred. In particular, a great - deal of redundancy and superfluous code has been removed with the merging of the backend - libraries. -
