mdocml consists of the libmandoc validating compiler and mandoc, which interfaces with the compiler library to format output for UNIX terminals (with
support for wide-character locales), XHTML, HTML, PostScript, and PDF.
- It also includes preconv, for recoding multibyte manuals;
- demandoc, for emitting only text parts of manuals;
- mandocdb, for indexing manuals; and
- apropos, whatis, and
- man.cgi (via catman) for semantic search of manual content.

- Release notes going back to release 1.9.15, February 18, 2010.
- Briefly explaining the most important changes in each release in relatively easy terms.
- Very many changes are not mentioned here.

- Development history going back to the beginning of the project, November 22, 2008.
- One-line entries for important commits, releases, merges, hackathons and talks.
- Makes it easy to find out who did what, and when, and when it became available where.
- However, this is still incomplete, mentioning only a small fraction of all commits,
- and to keep the size down, the individual entries are extremely terse and technical.
- Feel free to look up more details and longer explanations about individual entries
- in the ChangeLog or in CVS.

- Very technical information of varying quality, strictly chronological.
- All commits are mentioned, but some messages neglect to mention some changes.
- Partly terse, partly detailed and verbose. In any case, the ChangeLog is very long -
- more than 25,000 lines, more than 700 kB.
