************************************************************************

This file lists the most important changes in the mandoc.bsd.lv distribution.

* This is a backward compatibility release.

* Unless you need compatibility with the old SQLite3-based mandoc.db(5)

* database format, please use the mandoc-1.14.1 release instead:

* http://mdocml.bsd.lv/snapshots/mdocml-1.14.1.tar.gz

The following files differ from 1.14.1:

This file lists the most important changes in the mdocml.bsd.lv distribution.

Changes in version 1.13.5, released on February XXX, 2017

--- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---

* apropos(1): Reimplement complete semantic search functionality

without the dependency on SQLite3, using only POSIX APIs.

This comes with a completely new mandoc.db(5) file format.

* man(1): Support more than one tag entry for the same search term,

plus some minor improvements to the less(1) :t support.

* -Thtml: Use real macro names for CSS classes.

Line 27 Changes in version 1.13.5, released on February XXX, 2

Line 15 Changes in version 1.13.5, released on February XXX, 2

* -Thtml: Produce human readable HTML code by using indentation

and better line breaks. Improve various HTML elements,

and trim several useless ones.

* New catman(8) utility, still somewhat experimental.

* Now includes a portable version of the OpenBSD mandoc regression

suite, see regress/regress.pl.1 for details.

--- REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY ---

* Operating systems that don't provide mmap(3) are no longer supported.

* Drop support for manpath(1). Even if your system has manpath(1),

it is simpler to use MANPATH_DEFAULT in configure.local for

operating system defaults, man.conf(5) for machine-specific

modifications, and ${MANPATH}, -m, and -M for user preferences

than to bother with the complexity of manpath(1).

* makewhatis(8) -p: No longer warn about missing MLINKS since these

are no longer needed for anything.

--- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---

* mdoc(7): Warn about invalid punctuation and content below NAME.

* mdoc(7): Warn about .Xr lacking the second argument (section).

Line 83 Changes in version 1.13.5, released on February XXX, 2

Line 81 Changes in version 1.13.5, released on February XXX, 2

* man(1): Do not mix stdio narrow and wide stream orientation

on stdout, which could cause output corruption on glibc.

* mandoc(1): Autodetect a suitable locale for -Tutf8 mode.

* ./configure: Autodetect whether PATH_MAX is defined.

* ./configure: Autodetect whether PATH_MAX and O_DIRECTORY are defined.

* ./configure: Autodetect if nanosleep(3) needs -lrt.

* ./configure: Provide an ${LN} configuration variable.

* ./configure: Put compiler arguments that may contain -l at the end.

Line 96 Changes in version 1.13.5, released on February XXX, 2

Line 94 Changes in version 1.13.5, released on February XXX, 2

* Redesign part of the mandoc_html(3) interfaces, making them much

easier to use and reducing the amount of code by a few hundred lines.

--- THANKS TO ---

* Michael Stapelberg (Debian) for designing the new mandocd(8)

and parts of the new catman(8), for release testing, and for a

number of patches and bug reports.

* Baptiste Daroussin (FreeBSD) for profiling the new makewhatis(8)

implementation and suggesting an algorithmic improvement which

more than doubled performance, and for a few bug reports.

* Ed Maste (FreeBSD) for an important patch improving reproducibility

of builds in makewhatis(8), and for a few bug reports.

* Theo Buehler (OpenBSD) for almost twenty important bug reports,

most of them found by systematic afl(1) fuzzing.

* Benny Lofgren, David Dahlberg, and in particular Vadim Zhukov

and a number of bug reports.
