   Changes in version 1.14.1, 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.
      Systematic cleanup of and many improvements to mandoc.css.
    * -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).
    * mdoc(7): Warn about violations of the rule "new sentence, new line".
    * roff(7): Warn about trailing whitespace at the end of comments.
    * mdoc(7): Always do text production in the validator, never in the
      formatters.  Cleaner, simpler, shorter, helps NetBSD apropos(1)
      and also makes -Ttree output more useful.
    * -Ttree: Show metadata and some additional node flags.
      New -Onoval output option to show the unvalidated tree.
       --- RELIABILITY BUGFIXES ---
    * man(1): Make "man -l" work with standard input from a pipe or file,
      as long as standard output is a terminal.
    * mdoc(7): Fix out of bounds read access for .Bl without a type
      but with a width.
    * mdoc(7): Fix out of bounds read access for .Bl -column starting
      with a tab character instead of a child .It macro.
    * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to segfaults caused
      by stray block end macros in nested blocks of mismatching type.
    * man(1): Fix NULL dereference when the first of multiple pages
      shown was preformatted.
    * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to NULL dereference
      caused by partial implicit macros inside .Bl -column table cells.
    * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to NULL dereference
      for macro sequences like .Bl .Bl .It Bo .El .It.
    * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to NULL dereference
      caused by .Ta following a nested .Bl -column breaking another block.
    * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption sometimes leading to NULL
      dereference caused by indirectly broken .Nd or .Nm blocks.
    * mdoc(7) -Thtml: Fix a NULL dereference for .Bl -column with 0 columns.
    * mdoc(7): Fix NULL dereference in some specific cases of a
      block-end macro calling another block-end macro.
    * mdoc(7): Fix NULL dereference if the only child of the head
      of the first .Sh was an empty in-line macro.
    * eqn(7): Fix NULL dereference in the terminal formatter
      for empty matrices and empty square roots.
    * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure for a .Bd without a type that
      breaks another block.
    * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure that happened for some .Bl -column
      lists containing a column width of "-4n", "-3n", or "-2n".
    * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by .Bl -column without .It
      but containing eqn(7) or tbl(7) code.
    * roff(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by \z\[u00FF] with -Tps/-Tpdf.
    * roff(7): Fix an assertion failures caused by whitespace inside \o''
      (overstrike) sequences.
    * -Thtml: Fix an assertion failure caused by -Oman or -Oincludes of
      excessive length.
       --- PORTABILITY IMPROVEMENTS ---
    * 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.
    * Autodetect whether PATH_MAX is defined.
    * Autodetect if nanosleep(3) needs -lrt.
    * Put compiler arguments that may contain -l at the end.
       --- MINOR BUGFIXES ---
    * mdoc(7): Fix SYNOPSIS output if the first child of .Nm is a macro.
    * mdoc(7) -Thtml: Improve formatting of .Bl -tag with short tags.
    * man(7) -Thtml: Preserve whitespace in .nf (nofill) mode.
    * mandoc(1): Error out on invalid output options on the command line.
       --- STRUCTURAL CHANGES, no functional change ---
    * 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), 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 more than ten important bug reports,
      most of them found by systematic afl(1) fuzzing.
    * Benny Lofgren, David Dahlberg, and in particular Vadim Zhukov
      for crucial help in getting .Bl -tag CSS formatting fixed.
    * Svyatoslav Mishyn (Crux Linux) for an initial version of the
      patch to autodetect a suitable locale for -Tutf8 mode.
    * Jason McIntyre (OpenBSD) for multiple useful discussions
      and a number of bug reports.
    * Alexander Bluhm, Andrew Fresh, Antoine Jacoutot, Antony Bentley,
      Christian Weisgerber, Jonathan Gray, Marc Espie, Martijn van Duren,
      Stuart Henderson, Ted Unangst, Theo de Raadt (OpenBSD), Abhinav
