+ xx-xx-2011: version 1.11.8
+
+
+ This version features a new, work-in-progress mandoc output mode: -Tman. This mode
+ allows a system maintainer to distribute man media for older systems that may not natively
+ support mdoc, such as old Solaris systems.
+ The -Ofragment option was added to mandoc's -Thtml and -Txhtml modes.
+
+
+ The mdoc and man manuals have been made considerably more readable by
+ adding MACRO OVERVIEW sections, by moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE SYNTAX to the roff manual, and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections down to the bottom of
+ the page.
+
+
+ Furthermore, for tbl, the -Tascii mode horizontal spacing of tables was rewritten
+ completely. It is now compatible with groff, both
+ with and without frames and rulers. Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in man, and
+ several bugs were fixed regarding indentation and alignment. The page headers in mdoc are now
+ nicer for very long titles.
+
+
+ 02-09-2011: version 1.11.7
+
+
+ Added demandoc utility for stripping away macros and escapes. This replaces the
+ historical deroff utility. Also improved the mdoc and man manuals.
