Consequently, such characters + can now be used in portable manual pages. All the same, please + limit their use to contexts where they really matter, for example + when showing complicated mathematical formulae. + * First steps towards better support for small screens in HTML + output (responsive design): avoid most style= attributes, in + particular all hard-coded indentations and column widths, and + provide a better mandoc.css style sheet with a @media query, + using em units throughout, and avoiding redundancy in selectors. + * Better HTML output with some more fitting HTML elements, eliminating + needless class= attributes, and avoiding various HTML syntax errors + (element nesting, URL-fragment syntax, duplicate id= attributes). + --- MINOR NEW FEATURES --- + * When a man(1) argument contains a slash, imply -l like in man-db. + * Use TIOCGWINSZ to reduce the default -Owidth and -Oindent during + interactive use on terminals narrower than 79 columns. + * Generated PostScript files are now more than 50% smaller. + * Terminal rendering of eqn(7) is improved in several respects. + * Simplified and nicer output from the mdoc(7) .Lk macro, formatting + all links in-line, even long ones. + * roff(7) \n+ and \n- numerical register auto-increment and -decrement + * roff(7) .nr optional third argument (auto-increment step size) + * Autodetect in ./configure whether the compiler can use -W and -static, + allowing to build on Solaris 10 and 11 without any configure.local. + --- RELIABILITY BUGFIXES --- + * Only activate UTF-8 output when the user really selected UTF-8, + not some other multibyte character encoding. + * Prevent excessive .ll arguments from generating infinite output. + * Fix out of bounds accesses to parse buffers that could happen when + using renamed or user defined macros after roff(7) conditionals. + * Avoid an assertion failure in certain .Bl -column lists. + * Avoid a NULL pointer access on deroff() failure after '.SS ""'. + * Fix a segfault that could be triggered by two invalid .Dt macros. + * Fix two syntax errors in generated PDF files. + * Properly state the page size in generated PostScript files. + * Close a memory leak caused by missing gzclose(3). + * Fix misformatting of man(7) documents lacking .SH macros + in PostScript and PDF output. + * And many minor bugfixes. + --- THANKS TO --- + * Marc Espie (OpenBSD) for implementing the size reduction of + PostScript files, one additional patch for code simplification, + and two bug reports. + * Theo Buehler (OpenBSD) for a bugfix patch, + and Theo de Raadt (OpenBSD) for checking it. + * John Gardner for more than a dozen suggestions regarding HTML output. + * Mike Williams for teaching me how to use %%DocumentMedia and + setpagedevice in PostScript files. + * Werner Lemberg (groff) for feedback on mdoc(7) language changes. + * Colin Watson (man-db) for feedback on man-db semantics. + * Jason McIntyre (OpenBSD) for lots of feedback and suggestions + on diagnostic messages and on the documentation. + * Thomas Klausner (NetBSD) for suggesting two new style messages + and one new feature, for two bug reports, and for release testing. + * Leah Neukirchen (Void Linux) for suggesting a new style message, + five bug reports, and release testing. + * Anthony Bentley (OpenBSD) for reporting multiple bugs and missing + features. + * Paul Irofti (OpenBSD) and Nate Bargmann for suggesting new features. + * Michael Stapelberg (Debian) for bug reports and release testing. + * Christian Weisgerber, Jonathan Gray, Stuart Henderson, + Ted Unangst (OpenBSD), Takeshi Nakayama (NetBSD), + Anton Lazarov, Jakub Klinkovsky, Jan Stary, Jesper Wallin, + Will Backmam, and Wolfgang Mueller for bug reports. + * Sevan Janiyan (NetBSD) for additions to lib.in. + * George Brown for suggesting code simplifications. + * David Coppa, Igor Sobrado (OpenBSD), and Alexander Kuleshov + for documentation improvements. + * Laura Morales and Raf Czlonka for questions resulting in better + documentation. + * Yuri Pankov (illumos) for release testing.
