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. |
