1.1 schwarze 2:
3: This file lists the most important changes in the mdocml.bsd.lv distribution.
1.13 schwarze 4:
1.14 schwarze 5: Changes in version 1.14.1, released on February XXX, 2017
1.13 schwarze 6:
7: --- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
8: * apropos(1): Reimplement complete semantic search functionality
9: without the dependency on SQLite3, using only POSIX APIs.
10: This comes with a completely new mandoc.db(5) file format.
11: * man(1): Support more than one tag entry for the same search term,
12: plus some minor improvements to the less(1) :t support.
13: * -Thtml: Use real macro names for CSS classes.
14: Systematic cleanup of and many improvements to mandoc.css.
15: * -Thtml: Produce human readable HTML code by using indentation
16: and better line breaks. Improve various HTML elements,
17: and trim several useless ones.
18: * New catman(8) utility, still somewhat experimental.
1.14 schwarze 19: * Now includes a portable version of the OpenBSD mandoc regression
20: suite, see regress/regress.pl.1 for details.
1.13 schwarze 21: --- REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY ---
22: * Operating systems that don't provide mmap(3) are no longer supported.
23: * Drop support for manpath(1). Even if your system has manpath(1),
24: it is simpler to use MANPATH_DEFAULT in configure.local for
25: operating system defaults, man.conf(5) for machine-specific
26: modifications, and ${MANPATH}, -m, and -M for user preferences
27: than to bother with the complexity of manpath(1).
28: * makewhatis(8) -p: No longer warn about missing MLINKS since these
29: are no longer needed for anything.
30: --- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
31: * mdoc(7): Warn about invalid punctuation and content below NAME.

35: * mdoc(7): Always do text production in the validator, never in the
36: formatters. Cleaner, simpler, shorter, helps NetBSD apropos(1)
37: and also makes -Ttree output more useful.
1.15 ! schwarze 38: * -Ttree: Show metadata and some additional node flags.
! 39: New -Onoval output option to show the unvalidated tree.
1.13 schwarze 40: --- RELIABILITY BUGFIXES ---
41: * man(1): Make "man -l" work with standard input from a pipe or file,
42: as long as standard output is a terminal.

48: by stray block end macros in nested blocks of mismatching type.
49: * man(1): Fix NULL dereference when the first of multiple pages
50: shown was preformatted.
51: * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to NULL dereference
52: for macro sequences like .Bl .Bl .It Bo .El .It.
1.15 ! schwarze 53: * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to NULL dereference
1.13 schwarze 54: caused by .Ta following a nested .Bl -column breaking another block.
55: * mdoc(7) -Thtml: Fix a NULL dereference for .Bl -column with 0 columns.
56: * mdoc(7): Fix NULL dereference if the only child of the head
57: of the first .Sh was an empty in-line macro.
58: * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure for a .Bd without a type that
59: breaks another block.
60: * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by .Bl -column without .It
61: but containing eqn(7) or tbl(7) code.
62: * roff(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by \z\[u00FF] with -Tps/-Tpdf.
63: * roff(7): Fix an assertion failures caused by whitespace inside \o''
64: (overstrike) sequences.
65: * -Thtml: Fix an assertion failure caused by -Oman or -Oincludes of
66: excessive length.
67: --- PORTABILITY IMPROVEMENTS ---
68: * man(1): Do not mix stdio narrow and wide stream orientation
69: on stdout, which could cause output corruption on glibc.
70: * mandoc(1): Autodetect a suitable locale for -Tutf8 mode.
71: * Autodetect whether PATH_MAX is defined.

438: of numerical expressions.
439: * Warning and error messages have been improved in many ways.
440: Almost all fatal errors were downgraded to normal errors and some
441: even to warnings. Almost all messages now mention the macro where

443: The mandoc(1) manual now includes a list explaining all messages.
444: --- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
445: * The roff(7) parser now supports the .ami (append to macro with

447: string), .dei (define macro with indirectly specified name),
448: .ll (line length), and .rr (remove register) requests.
449: * The roff(7) parser now supports string comparison and numerical
450: conditionals in the .if and .ie requests.

452: expression) and partially supports the \w (measure text width)
453: escape sequences.
454: * The terminal formatter now supports the \: (optional line break)
455: escape sequence.
456: * The roff parser now supports expansion of user-defined strings
457: involving indirect references.
458: * The roff(7) parser now handles some pre-defined read-only
459: number registers that occur in the pod2man(1) preamble.
460: * For backward compatibility, the mdoc(7) parser and formatters
461: now support the obsolete macros .En, .Es, .Fr, and .Ot.
462: * The mdoc(7) formatter non partially supports .Bd -centered.
463: * tbl(7) now handles leading and trailing vertical lines.
464: * The build system now provides fallback versions of strcasestr(3)
465: and strsep(3) for systems lacking them.
466: * The mdoc(7) manual now explains how various standards
467: supported by the .St macro are related to each other.
468: --- BUGFIXES ---
469: * In the roff(7) parser, several bugs were fixed with respect
470: to closing conditional blocks on macro lines.
471: * Parsing of roff(7) identifiers and escape sequences was improved
472: in multiple respects.
473: * In the mdoc(7) parser, the handling of defective document
474: prologues was improved in multiple ways.
475: * The mdoc(7) parser no longer skips content before the first section
476: header, and it no longer deletes non-.% content from .Rs blocks.
477: * In the mdoc(7) parser, a crash was fixed related to weird .Sh headers.
478: * In the mdoc(7) parser, handling of .Sm with missing or invalid
479: arguments was corrected.
480: * In the mdoc(7) parser, trailing punctuation at the end of partial
481: implicit macros no longer triggers end-of-sentence spacing.
482: * In the terminal formatter, two crashes were fixed: one triggered by
483: excessive indentation and another by excessively long .Nm arguments.
484: * In the terminal formatter, a floating point rounding bug was
485: fixed that sometimes caused an off-by-one error in indentation.
486: * In the UTF-8 formatter, rendering of accents, breakable hyphens,
487: and non-breakable spaces was corrected.
488: * In the HTML formatter, encoding of special characters was
489: corrected in multiple respects.
490: * In the mdoc(7) formatter, rendering of .Ex and .Rv was
491: improved for various edge cases.
492: * In the mdoc(7) formatter, handling of empty .Bl -inset item
493: heads was improved.
494: * In the man(7) formatter, some bugs were fixed with respect
495: to same-line detection in the context of .TP and .nf macros,
496: and the indentation of .IP and .TP blocks was improved.
497: * The mandoc(3) library no longer prints to stderr.

1.4 schwarze 508:
509: Changes in version 1.12.3, released on December 31, 2013
510:
511: * In the mdoc(7) SYNOPSIS, line breaks and hanging indentation
512: now work correctly for .Fo/.Fa/.Fc and .Fn blocks.
513: Thanks to Franco Fichtner for doing part of the work.
514: * The mdoc(7) .Bk macro got some addititonal bugfixes.
515: * In mdoc(7) macro arguments, double quotes can now be quoted
516: by doubling them, just like in man(7).
517: Thanks to Tsugutomo ENAMI for the patch.
518: * At the end of man(7) macro lines, end-of-sentence spacing
519: now works. Thanks to Franco Fichtner for the patch.
520: * For backward compatibility, the man(7) parser now supports the
521: man-ext .UR/.UE (uniform resource identifier) block macros.
522: * The man(7) parser now handles closing blocks that are not open
523: more gracefully.
524: * The man(7) parser now ignores blank lines right after .SH and .SS.
525: * In the man(7) formatter, reset indentation when leaving a block,
526: not just when entering the next one.
527: * The roff(7) .nr request now supports incrementing and decrementing
528: number registers and stops parsing the number right before the
529: first non-digit character.
530: * The roff(7) parser now supports the alternative escape sequence
531: syntax \C'uXXXX' for Unicode characters.
532: * The roff(7) parser now parses and ignores the .fam (font family)
533: and .hw (hyphenation points) requests and the \d and \u escape
534: sequences.
535: * The roff(7) manual got a new ESCAPE SEQUENCE REFERENCE.
1.1 schwarze 536:
1.2 schwarze 537: Changes in version 1.12.2, released on Oktober 5, 2013
1.1 schwarze 538:
539: * The mdoc(7) to man(7) converter, to be called as mandoc -Tman,
540: is now fully functional.
541: * The mandoc(1) utility now supports the -Ios (default operating system)
542: input option, and the -Tutf8 output mode now actually works.
543: * The mandocdb(8) utility no longer truncates existing databases when
544: starting to build new ones, but only replaces them when the build
545: actually succeeds.
546: * The man(7) parser now supports the PD macro (paragraph distance),
547: and (for GNU man-ext compatibility only) EX (example block) and EE
548: (example end). Plus several bugfixes regarding indentation, line
549: breaks, and vertical spacing, and regarding RS following TP.
550: * The roff(7) parser now supports the \f(BI (bold+italic) font escape,
551: the \z (zero cursor advance) escape and the cc (change control
552: character) and it (input line trap) requests. Plus bugfixes regarding
553: the \t (tab) escape, nested escape sequences, and conditional requests.
554: * In mdoc(7), several bugs were fixed related to UTF-8 output of quoting
555: enclosures, delimiter handling, list indentation and horizontal and
556: vertical spacing, formatting of the Lk, %U, and %C macros, plus some
557: bugfixes related to the handling of syntax errors like badly nested
558: font blocks, stray Ta macros outside column lists, unterminated It Xo
559: blocks, and non-text children of Nm blocks.
560: * In tbl(7), the width of horizontal spans and the vertical spacing
561: around tables was corrected, and in man(7) files, a crash was fixed
562: that was triggered by some particular unclosed T{ macros.
563: * For mandoc developers, we now provide a tbl(3) library manual and
564: gmdiff, a very small, very simplistic groff-versus-mandoc output
565: comparison tool.
1.2 schwarze 566: * Provide this NEWS file.
1.1 schwarze 567:
568: Changes in version 1.12.1, released on March 23, 2012
569:
570: * Significant work on apropos(1) and mandocdb(8). These tools are now
571: much more robust. A whatis(1) implementation is now handled as an
572: apropos(1) mode. These tools are also able to minimally handle
573: pre-formatted pages, that is, those already formatted by another
574: utility such as GNU troff.
575: * The man.cgi(7) script is also now available for wider testing.
576: It interfaces with mandocdb(8) manuals cached by catman(8).
577: HTML output is generated on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal
578: methods to convert pre-formatted pages.
579: * The mailing list archive for the discuss and tech lists are being
580: hosted by Gmane at gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.user and
581: gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.devel, respectively.
582:
583: Changes in version 1.12.0, released on October 8, 2011
584:
585: * This version features a new, work-in-progress mandoc(1) output mode:
586: -Tman. This mode allows a system maintainer to distribute man(7)
587: media for older systems that may not natively support mdoc(7), such
588: as old Solaris systems.
589: * The -Ofragment option was added to mandoc(1)'s -Thtml and -Txhtml modes.
590: * While adding features, an apropos(1) utility has been merged from the
591: mandoc-tools sandbox. This interfaces with mandocdb(8) for semantic
592: search of manual content. apropos(1) is different from the traditional
593: apropos primarily in allowing keyword search (such as for functions,
594: utilities, etc.) and regular expressions. Note that the calling
595: syntax for apropos is likely to change as it settles down.
596: * In documentation news, the mdoc(7) and man(7) manuals have been
597: made considerably more readable by adding MACRO OVERVIEW sections, by
598: moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE SYNTAX to the roff(7) manual,
599: and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections down to the
600: bottom of the page.
601: * Furthermore, for tbl(7), the -Tascii mode horizontal spacing of tables
602: was rewritten completely. It is now compatible with groff(1), both
603: with and without frames and rulers.
604: * Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in man(7), and several
605: bugs were fixed regarding indentation and alignment.
606: * The page headers in mdoc(7) are now nicer for very long titles.
607:
608: Changes in version 1.11.7, released on September 2, 2011
609:
610: * Added demandoc(1) utility for stripping away macros and escapes.
611: This replaces the historical deroff(1) utility.
612: * Also improved the mdoc(7) and man(7) manuals.
613:
614: Changes in version 1.11.6, released on August 16, 2011
615:
616: * Handling of tr macro in roff(7) implemented. This makes Perl
617: documentation much more readable. Hyphenation is also now enabled in
618: man(7) format documents. Many other general improvements have been
619: implemented.
620:
621: Changes in version 1.11.5, released on July 24, 2011
622:
623: * Significant eqn(7) improvements. mdocml can now parse arbitrary eqn
624: input (although few GNU extensions are accepted, nor is mixing
625: low-level roff with eqn). See the eqn(7) manual for details.
626: For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text.
627: The equation parser satisfies the language specified in the
628: Second Edition User's Guide:
629: http://www.kohala.com/start/troff/v7man/eqn/eqn2e.ps
630:
631: Changes in version 1.11.4, released on July 12, 2011
632:
633: * Bug-fixes and clean-ups across all systems, especially in mandocdb(8)
634: and the man(7) parser. This release was significantly assisted by
635: participants in OpenBSD's c2k11. Thanks!
636:
637: Changes in version 1.11.3, released on May 26, 2011
638:
639: * Introduce locale-encoding of output with the -Tlocale output option and
640: Unicode escaped-character input. See mandoc(1) and mandoc_char(7),
641: respectively, for details. This allows for non-ASCII characters (e.g.,
642: \[u5000]) to be rendered in the locale's encoding, if said environment
643: supports wide-character encoding (if it does not, -Tascii is used
644: instead). Locale support can be turned off at compile time by removing
645: -DUSE_WCHAR in the Makefile, in which case -Tlocale is always a synonym
646: for -Tascii.
647: * Furthermore, multibyte-encoded documents, such as those in UTF-8, may
648: be on-the-fly recoded into mandoc(1) input by using the newly-added
649: preconv(1) utility. Note: in the future, this feature may be
650: integrated into mandoc(1).
651:
652: Changes in version 1.11.2, released on May 12, 2011
653:
654: * Corrected some installation issues in version 1.11.1.
655: * Further migration to libmandoc.
656: * Initial public release (this utility is very much under development)
657: of mandocdb(8). This utility produces keyword databases of manual
658: content, which features semantic querying of manual content.
659:
660: Changes in version 1.11.1, released on April 4, 2011
661:
662: * The earlier libroff, libmdoc, and libman soup have been merged into
663: a single library, libmandoc, which manages all aspects of parsing
664: real manuals, from line-handling to tbl(7) parsing.
665: * As usual, many general fixes and improvements have also occurred.
666: In particular, a great deal of redundancy and superfluous code has
667: been removed with the merging of the backend libraries.
1.3 schwarze 668: * see also the changes in 1.10.10
669:
670: Changes in version 1.10.10, March 20, 2011, NOT released
671:
672: * Initial eqn(7) functionality is in place. For the time being,
673: this is limited to the recognition of equation blocks;
674: future version of mdocml will expand upon this framework.
1.1 schwarze 675:
676: Changes in version 1.10.9, released on January 7, 2011
677:
678: * Many back-end fixes have been implemented: argument handling (quoting),
679: man(7) improvements, error/warning classes, and many more.
680: * Initial tbl(7) functionality (see the "TS", "TE", and "T&" macros in
681: the roff(7) manual) has been merged from tbl.bsd.lv. Output is still
682: minimal, especially for -Thtml and -Txhtml, but manages to at least
683: display data. This means that mandoc(1) now has built-in support
684: for two troff preprocessors via libroff: soelim(1) and tbl(1).
685:
686: Changes in version 1.10.8, released on December 24, 2010
687:
1.3 schwarze 688: * Overhauled the -Thtml and -Txhtml output modes. They now display
1.1 schwarze 689: readable output in arbitrary browsers, including text-based ones like
690: lynx(1). See HTML and XHTML manuals in the DOCUMENTATION section
691: for examples. Attention: available style-sheet classes have been
692: considerably changed! See the example.style.css file for details.
693: Lastly, libmdoc and libman have been cleaned up and reduced in size
694: and complexity.
1.3 schwarze 695: * see also the changes in 1.10.7
696:
697: Changes in version 1.10.7, December 6, 2010, NOT released
698:
699: Significant improvements merged from OpenBSD downstream, including:
700: * many new roff(7) components,
701: * in-line implementation of troff's soelim(1),
702: * broken-block handling,
703: * overhauled error classifications, and
704: * cleaned up handling of error conditions.
1.1 schwarze 705:
706: Changes in version 1.10.6, released on September 27, 2010
707:
708: * Calling conventions for mandoc(1) have changed: -W improved and -f
709: deprecated.
710: * Non-ASCII characters are also now uniformly discarded.
711: * Lots of documentation improvements.
712: * Many incremental fixes accomodating for groff's more interesting
713: productions.
714: * Lastly, pod2man(1) preambles are now fully accepted after some
715: considerable roff(7) and special character support.
716:
717: Changes in version 1.10.5, released on July 27, 2010
718:
719: * Primarily a bug-fix and polish release, but including -Tpdf support
720: in mandoc(1) by way of "Summer of Code". Highlights:
721: * fix "Sm" and "Bd" handling
722: * fix end-of-sentence handling for embedded sentences
723: * polish man(7) documentation
724: * document all mdoc(7) macros
725: * polish mandoc(1) -Tps output
726: * lots of internal clean-ups in character escapes
727: * un-break literal contexts in man(7) documents
728: * improve -Thtml output for -man
729: * add mandoc(1) -Tpdf support
730:
731: Changes in version 1.10.4, released on July 12, 2010
732:
733: * Lots of features developed during both "Summer of Code" and the
734: OpenBSD c2k10 hackathon:
735: * minimal "ds" roff(7) symbols are supported
736: * beautified SYNOPSIS section output
737: * acceptance of scope-block breakage in mdoc(7)
738: * clarify error message status
739: * many minor bug-fixes and formatting issues resolved
1.3 schwarze 740: * see also changes in 1.10.3
741:
742: Changes in version 1.10.3, June 29, 2010, NOT released
743:
744: * variable font-width and paper-size support in mandoc(1) -Tps output
745: * "Bk" mdoc(7) support
1.1 schwarze 746:
747: Changes in version 1.10.2, released on June 19, 2010
748:
749: * Small release featuring text-decoration in -Tps output,
750: a few minor relaxations of errors, and some optimisations.
751:
752: Changes in version 1.10.1, released on June 7, 2010
753:
754: * This primarily focusses on the "Bl" and "It" macros described in
755: mdoc(7). Multi-line column support is now fully compatible with groff,
756: as are implicit list entries for columns.
757: * Removed manuals(7) in favour of http://manpages.bsd.lv.
758: * The way we handle the SYNOPSIS section (see the SYNOPSIS documentation
759: in MANUAL STRUCTURE) has also been considerably simplified compared
760: to groff's method.
761: * Furthermore, the -Owidth=width output option has been added to -Tascii,
762: see mandoc(1).
763: * Lastly, initial PostScript output has been added with the -Tps option
764: to mandoc(1). It's brutally simple at the moment: fixed-font, with no
765: font decorations.
766:
767: Changes in version 1.10.0, released on May 29, 2010
768:
769: * Release consisting of the results from the m2k10 hackathon and up-merge
770: from OpenBSD. This requires a significant note of thanks to Ingo
771: Schwarze (OpenBSD) and Joerg Sonnenberger (NetBSD) for their hard work,
772: and again to Joerg for hosting m2k10. Highlights (mostly cribbed from
773: Ingo's m2k10 report) follow in no particular order:
774: * a libroff preprocessor in front of libmdoc and libman stripping out
775: roff(7) instructions;
776: * end-of-sentence (EOS) detection in free-form and macro lines;
777: * correct handling of tab-separated columnar lists in mdoc(7);
778: * improved main calling routines to optionally use mmap(3) for better
779: performance;
780: * cleaned up exiting when invoked as -Tlint or over multiple files
781: with -fign-errors;
782: * error and warning message handling re-written to be unified for
783: libroff, libmdoc, and libman;
784: * handling of badly-nested explicit-scoped macros;
785: * improved free-form text parsing in libman and libmdoc;
786: * significant GNU troff compatibility improvements in -Tascii,
787: largely in terms of spacing;
788: * a regression framework for making sure the many fragilities of GNU
789: troff aren't trampled in subsequent work;
790: * support for -Tascii breaking at hyphens encountered in free-form text;
791: * and many more minor fixes and improvements

795: * Fixed handling of "\*(Ba" escape.
796: * Backed out -fno-ign-chars (pointless complexity).
797: * Fixed erroneous breaking of literal lines.
798: * Fixed SYNOPSIS breaking lines before non-initial macros.
799: * Changed default section ordering.
800: * Most importantly, the framework for end-of-sentence double-spacing is
801: in place, now implemented for the "end-of-sentence, end-of-line" rule.
802: * This is a stable roll-back point before the mandoc hackathon in Rostock!
803:
804: Changes in version 1.9.24, released on May 9, 2010
805:
806: * Rolled back break-at-hyphen.
807: * -DUGLY is now the default (no feature splits!).
808: * Free-form text is not de-chunked any more: lines are passed
809: whole-sale into the front-end, including whitespace.
810: * Added mailing lists.
811:
812: Changes in version 1.9.23, released on April 7, 2010
813:
814: * mdocml has been linked to the OpenBSD build.
815: * This version incorporates many small changes, mostly from patches
816: by OpenBSD, allowing crufty manuals to slip by with warnings instead
817: of erroring-out.
818: * Some subtle semantic issues, such as punctuation scope, have also
819: been fixed.
820: * Lastly, some issues with -Thtml have been fixed, which prompted an
821: update to the online manual pages style layout.
822:
823: Changes in version 1.9.22, released on March 31, 2010
824:
825: * Adjusted merge of the significant work by Ingo Schwarze
826: in getting "Xo" blocks (block full implicit, e.g., "It"
827: for non-columnar lists) to work properly. This isn't
828: enabled by default: you must specify -DUGLY as a compiler
829: flag (see the Makefile for details).
830:
831: Changes in version 1.9.20, released on March 30, 2010
832:
833: * More efforts to get roff instructions in man(7) documents under
834: control. Note that roff instructions embedded in line-scoped,
835: next-line macros (e.g. "B") are not supported.
836: * Leading punctuation for mdoc(7) macros, such as "Fl ( ( a",
837: are now correctly handled.
838:
839: Changes in version 1.9.18, released on March 27, 2010
840:
841: * Many fixes (largely pertaining to scope)
842: and improvements (e.g., handling of apostrophe-control macros,
843: which fixes the strange "BR" seen in some macro output)
844: to handling roff instructions in man(7) documents.
845:
846: Changes in version 1.9.17, released on March 25, 2010
847:
848: * Accept perlpod(1) standard preamble.
849: * Also accept (and discard) "de", "dei", "am", "ami", and "ig"
850: roff macro blocks.
851:
852: Changes in version 1.9.16, released on March 22, 2010
853:
854: * Inspired by patches and bug reports by Ingo Schwarze,
855: allowed man(7) to accept non-printing elements to be nested
856: within next-line scopes, such as "br" within "B" or "TH",
857: which is valid roff.
858: * Longsoon architecture also noted and Makefile cleaned up.
859:
860: Changes in version 1.9.15, released on February 18, 2010
861:
862: * Moved to our new BSD.lv home.
863: * XHTML is now an acceptable output mode for mandoc(1);
864: * "Xr" made more compatible with groff;
865: * "Vt" fixed when invoked in SYNOPSIS;
866: * "\\" escape removed;
867: * end-of-line white-space detected for all lines;
868: * subtle bug fixed in list display for some modes;
869: * compatibility layer checked in for compilation in diverse
870: UNIX systems;
871: * and column lengths handled correctly.
