Almost all messages now mention the macro where + the issue is detected and many indicate the workaround employed. + The mandoc(1) manual now includes a list explaining all messages. + --- MINOR NEW FEATURES --- + * The roff(7) parser now supports the .ami (append to macro with + indirectly specified name), .as (append to user-defined + string), .dei (define macro with indirectly specified name), + .ll (line length), and .rr (remove register) requests. + * The roff(7) parser now supports string comparison and numerical + conditionals in the .if and .ie requests. + * The roff parser now fully supports the \B (validate numerical + expression) and partially supports the \w (measure text width) + escape sequences. + * The terminal formatter now supports the \: (optional line break) + escape sequence. + * The roff parser now supports expansion of user-defined strings + involving indirect references. + * The roff(7) parser now handles some pre-defined read-only + number registers that occur in the pod2man(1) preamble. + * For backward compatibility, the mdoc(7) parser and formatters + now support the obsolete macros .En, .Es, .Fr, and .Ot. + * The mdoc(7) formatter non partially supports .Bd -centered. + * tbl(7) now handles leading and trailing vertical lines. + * The build system now provides fallback versions of strcasestr(3) + and strsep(3) for systems lacking them. + * The mdoc(7) manual now explains how various standards + supported by the .St macro are related to each other. + --- BUGFIXES --- + * In the roff(7) parser, several bugs were fixed with respect + to closing conditional blocks on macro lines. + * Parsing of roff(7) identifiers and escape sequences was improved + in multiple respects. + * In the mdoc(7) parser, the handling of defective document + prologues was improved in multiple ways. + * The mdoc(7) parser no longer skips content before the first section + header, and it no longer deletes non-.% content from .Rs blocks. + * In the mdoc(7) parser, a crash was fixed related to weird .Sh headers. + * In the mdoc(7) parser, handling of .Sm with missing or invalid + arguments was corrected. + * In the mdoc(7) parser, trailing punctuation at the end of partial + implicit macros no longer triggers end-of-sentence spacing. + * In the terminal formatter, two crashes were fixed: one triggered by + excessive indentation and another by excessively long .Nm arguments. + * In the terminal formatter, a floating point rounding bug was + fixed that sometimes caused an off-by-one error in indentation. + * In the UTF-8 formatter, rendering of accents, breakable hyphens, + and non-breakable spaces was corrected. + * In the HTML formatter, encoding of special characters was + corrected in multiple respects. + * In the mdoc(7) formatter, rendering of .Ex and .Rv was + improved for various edge cases. + * In the mdoc(7) formatter, handling of empty .Bl -inset item + heads was improved. + * In the man(7) formatter, some bugs were fixed with respect + to same-line detection in the context of .TP and .nf macros, + and the indentation of .IP and .TP blocks was improved. + * The mandoc(3) library no longer prints to stderr. + --- THANKS TO --- + Abhinav Upadhyay (NetBSD), Andreas Voegele, Anthony Bentley (OpenBSD), + Christian Weisgerber (OpenBSD), Havard Eidnes (NetBSD), Jan Stary, + Jason McIntyre (OpenBSD), Jeremie Courreges-Anglas (OpenBSD), + Joerg Sonnenberger (NetBSD), Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado (OpenBSD), + Marc Espie (OpenBSD), Matthias Scheler (NetBSD), Pascal Stumpf (OpenBSD), + Paul Onyschuk (Alpine Linux), Sebastien Marie, Steffen Nurpmeso, + Stuart Henderson (OpenBSD), Ted Unangst (OpenBSD), Theo de Raadt (OpenBSD), + Thomas Klausner (NetBSD), and Ulrich Spoerlein (FreeBSD) + for reporting bugs and missing features. + +Changes in version 1.12.3, released on December 31, 2013 + + * In the mdoc(7) SYNOPSIS, line breaks and hanging indentation + now work correctly for .Fo/.Fa/.Fc and .Fn blocks. + Thanks to Franco Fichtner for doing part of the work. + * The mdoc(7) .Bk macro got some addititonal bugfixes. + * In mdoc(7) macro arguments, double quotes can now be quoted + by doubling them, just like in man(7). + Thanks to Tsugutomo ENAMI for the patch. + * At the end of man(7) macro lines, end-of-sentence spacing + now works. Thanks to Franco Fichtner for the patch. + * For backward compatibility, the man(7) parser now supports the + man-ext .UR/.UE (uniform resource identifier) block macros. + * The man(7) parser now handles closing blocks that are not open + more gracefully. + * The man(7) parser now ignores blank lines right after .SH and .SS. + * In the man(7) formatter, reset indentation when leaving a block, + not just when entering the next one. + * The roff(7) .nr request now supports incrementing and decrementing + number registers and stops parsing the number right before the + first non-digit character. + * The roff(7) parser now supports the alternative escape sequence + syntax \C'uXXXX' for Unicode characters. + * The roff(7) parser now parses and ignores the .fam (font family) + and .hw (hyphenation points) requests and the \d and \u escape + sequences. + * The roff(7) manual got a new ESCAPE SEQUENCE REFERENCE. + Changes in version 1.12.2, released on Oktober 5, 2013 * The mdoc(7) to man(7) converter, to be called as mandoc -Tman, @@ -130,14 +235,17 @@ Changes in version 1.11.1, released on April 4, 2011 * 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(7) parsing. - * Beyond this structural change, initial eqn(7) functionality is in - place.
