   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 ---

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

   Changes in version 1.13.1, released on August 10, 2014
   
       --- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
    * A complete apropos(1)/makewhatis(8)/man.cgi(8) suite
      based on SQLite3 is now included.
    * The roff(7) parser now provides an almost complete implementation
      of numerical expressions.
    * Warning and error messages have been improved in many ways.
      Almost all fatal errors were downgraded to normal errors and some
      even to warnings.  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.
