   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.
