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.
32: * mdoc(7): Warn about .Xr lacking the second argument (section).

34: * roff(7): Warn about trailing whitespace at the end of comments.
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.
43: * mdoc(7): Fix out of bounds read access for .Bl without a type
44: but with a width.
45: * mdoc(7): Fix out of bounds read access for .Bl -column starting

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.
1.16 ! schwarze 55: * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption sometimes leading to NULL
! 56: dereference caused by indirectly broken .Nm blocks in the SYNOPSIS.
1.13 schwarze 57: * mdoc(7) -Thtml: Fix a NULL dereference for .Bl -column with 0 columns.
58: * mdoc(7): Fix NULL dereference if the only child of the head
59: of the first .Sh was an empty in-line macro.
60: * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure for a .Bd without a type that
61: breaks another block.
62: * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by .Bl -column without .It
63: but containing eqn(7) or tbl(7) code.
64: * roff(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by \z\[u00FF] with -Tps/-Tpdf.
65: * roff(7): Fix an assertion failures caused by whitespace inside \o''
66: (overstrike) sequences.
67: * -Thtml: Fix an assertion failure caused by -Oman or -Oincludes of
68: excessive length.
69: --- PORTABILITY IMPROVEMENTS ---
70: * man(1): Do not mix stdio narrow and wide stream orientation
71: on stdout, which could cause output corruption on glibc.

457: escape sequence.
458: * The roff parser now supports expansion of user-defined strings
459: involving indirect references.
460: * The roff(7) parser now handles some pre-defined read-only
461: number registers that occur in the pod2man(1) preamble.
462: * For backward compatibility, the mdoc(7) parser and formatters
463: now support the obsolete macros .En, .Es, .Fr, and .Ot.
464: * The mdoc(7) formatter non partially supports .Bd -centered.
465: * tbl(7) now handles leading and trailing vertical lines.
466: * The build system now provides fallback versions of strcasestr(3)
467: and strsep(3) for systems lacking them.

469: supported by the .St macro are related to each other.
470: --- BUGFIXES ---
471: * In the roff(7) parser, several bugs were fixed with respect
472: to closing conditional blocks on macro lines.
473: * Parsing of roff(7) identifiers and escape sequences was improved
474: in multiple respects.
475: * In the mdoc(7) parser, the handling of defective document
476: prologues was improved in multiple ways.
477: * The mdoc(7) parser no longer skips content before the first section
478: header, and it no longer deletes non-.% content from .Rs blocks.
479: * In the mdoc(7) parser, a crash was fixed related to weird .Sh headers.
480: * In the mdoc(7) parser, handling of .Sm with missing or invalid
481: arguments was corrected.
482: * In the mdoc(7) parser, trailing punctuation at the end of partial
483: implicit macros no longer triggers end-of-sentence spacing.
484: * In the terminal formatter, two crashes were fixed: one triggered by
485: excessive indentation and another by excessively long .Nm arguments.
486: * In the terminal formatter, a floating point rounding bug was
487: fixed that sometimes caused an off-by-one error in indentation.
488: * In the UTF-8 formatter, rendering of accents, breakable hyphens,
489: and non-breakable spaces was corrected.
490: * In the HTML formatter, encoding of special characters was
491: corrected in multiple respects.
492: * In the mdoc(7) formatter, rendering of .Ex and .Rv was
493: improved for various edge cases.
494: * In the mdoc(7) formatter, handling of empty .Bl -inset item
495: heads was improved.
496: * In the man(7) formatter, some bugs were fixed with respect
497: to same-line detection in the context of .TP and .nf macros,
498: and the indentation of .IP and .TP blocks was improved.
499: * The mandoc(3) library no longer prints to stderr.

1.4 schwarze 510:
511: Changes in version 1.12.3, released on December 31, 2013
512:
513: * In the mdoc(7) SYNOPSIS, line breaks and hanging indentation
514: now work correctly for .Fo/.Fa/.Fc and .Fn blocks.
515: Thanks to Franco Fichtner for doing part of the work.
516: * The mdoc(7) .Bk macro got some addititonal bugfixes.
517: * In mdoc(7) macro arguments, double quotes can now be quoted
518: by doubling them, just like in man(7).
519: Thanks to Tsugutomo ENAMI for the patch.
520: * At the end of man(7) macro lines, end-of-sentence spacing
521: now works. Thanks to Franco Fichtner for the patch.
522: * For backward compatibility, the man(7) parser now supports the
523: man-ext .UR/.UE (uniform resource identifier) block macros.
524: * The man(7) parser now handles closing blocks that are not open
525: more gracefully.
526: * The man(7) parser now ignores blank lines right after .SH and .SS.
527: * In the man(7) formatter, reset indentation when leaving a block,
528: not just when entering the next one.
529: * The roff(7) .nr request now supports incrementing and decrementing
530: number registers and stops parsing the number right before the
531: first non-digit character.
532: * The roff(7) parser now supports the alternative escape sequence
533: syntax \C'uXXXX' for Unicode characters.
534: * The roff(7) parser now parses and ignores the .fam (font family)
535: and .hw (hyphenation points) requests and the \d and \u escape
536: sequences.
537: * The roff(7) manual got a new ESCAPE SEQUENCE REFERENCE.
1.1 schwarze 538:
1.2 schwarze 539: Changes in version 1.12.2, released on Oktober 5, 2013
1.1 schwarze 540:
541: * The mdoc(7) to man(7) converter, to be called as mandoc -Tman,
542: is now fully functional.
543: * The mandoc(1) utility now supports the -Ios (default operating system)
544: input option, and the -Tutf8 output mode now actually works.
545: * The mandocdb(8) utility no longer truncates existing databases when
546: starting to build new ones, but only replaces them when the build
547: actually succeeds.
548: * The man(7) parser now supports the PD macro (paragraph distance),
549: and (for GNU man-ext compatibility only) EX (example block) and EE
550: (example end). Plus several bugfixes regarding indentation, line
551: breaks, and vertical spacing, and regarding RS following TP.
552: * The roff(7) parser now supports the \f(BI (bold+italic) font escape,
553: the \z (zero cursor advance) escape and the cc (change control
554: character) and it (input line trap) requests. Plus bugfixes regarding
555: the \t (tab) escape, nested escape sequences, and conditional requests.
556: * In mdoc(7), several bugs were fixed related to UTF-8 output of quoting
557: enclosures, delimiter handling, list indentation and horizontal and
558: vertical spacing, formatting of the Lk, %U, and %C macros, plus some
559: bugfixes related to the handling of syntax errors like badly nested
560: font blocks, stray Ta macros outside column lists, unterminated It Xo
561: blocks, and non-text children of Nm blocks.
562: * In tbl(7), the width of horizontal spans and the vertical spacing
563: around tables was corrected, and in man(7) files, a crash was fixed
564: that was triggered by some particular unclosed T{ macros.
565: * For mandoc developers, we now provide a tbl(3) library manual and
566: gmdiff, a very small, very simplistic groff-versus-mandoc output
567: comparison tool.
1.2 schwarze 568: * Provide this NEWS file.
1.1 schwarze 569:
570: Changes in version 1.12.1, released on March 23, 2012
571:
572: * Significant work on apropos(1) and mandocdb(8). These tools are now
573: much more robust. A whatis(1) implementation is now handled as an
574: apropos(1) mode. These tools are also able to minimally handle
575: pre-formatted pages, that is, those already formatted by another
576: utility such as GNU troff.
577: * The man.cgi(7) script is also now available for wider testing.
578: It interfaces with mandocdb(8) manuals cached by catman(8).
579: HTML output is generated on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal
580: methods to convert pre-formatted pages.
581: * The mailing list archive for the discuss and tech lists are being
582: hosted by Gmane at gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.user and
583: gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.devel, respectively.
584:
585: Changes in version 1.12.0, released on October 8, 2011
586:
587: * This version features a new, work-in-progress mandoc(1) output mode:
588: -Tman. This mode allows a system maintainer to distribute man(7)
589: media for older systems that may not natively support mdoc(7), such
590: as old Solaris systems.
591: * The -Ofragment option was added to mandoc(1)'s -Thtml and -Txhtml modes.
592: * While adding features, an apropos(1) utility has been merged from the
593: mandoc-tools sandbox. This interfaces with mandocdb(8) for semantic
594: search of manual content. apropos(1) is different from the traditional
595: apropos primarily in allowing keyword search (such as for functions,
596: utilities, etc.) and regular expressions. Note that the calling
597: syntax for apropos is likely to change as it settles down.
598: * In documentation news, the mdoc(7) and man(7) manuals have been
599: made considerably more readable by adding MACRO OVERVIEW sections, by
600: moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE SYNTAX to the roff(7) manual,
601: and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections down to the
602: bottom of the page.
603: * Furthermore, for tbl(7), the -Tascii mode horizontal spacing of tables
604: was rewritten completely. It is now compatible with groff(1), both
605: with and without frames and rulers.
606: * Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in man(7), and several
607: bugs were fixed regarding indentation and alignment.
608: * The page headers in mdoc(7) are now nicer for very long titles.
609:
610: Changes in version 1.11.7, released on September 2, 2011
611:
612: * Added demandoc(1) utility for stripping away macros and escapes.
613: This replaces the historical deroff(1) utility.
614: * Also improved the mdoc(7) and man(7) manuals.
615:
616: Changes in version 1.11.6, released on August 16, 2011
617:
618: * Handling of tr macro in roff(7) implemented. This makes Perl
619: documentation much more readable. Hyphenation is also now enabled in
620: man(7) format documents. Many other general improvements have been
621: implemented.
622:
623: Changes in version 1.11.5, released on July 24, 2011
624:
625: * Significant eqn(7) improvements. mdocml can now parse arbitrary eqn
626: input (although few GNU extensions are accepted, nor is mixing
627: low-level roff with eqn). See the eqn(7) manual for details.
628: For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text.
629: The equation parser satisfies the language specified in the
630: Second Edition User's Guide:
631: http://www.kohala.com/start/troff/v7man/eqn/eqn2e.ps
632:
633: Changes in version 1.11.4, released on July 12, 2011
634:
635: * Bug-fixes and clean-ups across all systems, especially in mandocdb(8)
636: and the man(7) parser. This release was significantly assisted by
637: participants in OpenBSD's c2k11. Thanks!
638:
639: Changes in version 1.11.3, released on May 26, 2011
640:
641: * Introduce locale-encoding of output with the -Tlocale output option and
642: Unicode escaped-character input. See mandoc(1) and mandoc_char(7),
643: respectively, for details. This allows for non-ASCII characters (e.g.,
644: \[u5000]) to be rendered in the locale's encoding, if said environment
645: supports wide-character encoding (if it does not, -Tascii is used
646: instead). Locale support can be turned off at compile time by removing
647: -DUSE_WCHAR in the Makefile, in which case -Tlocale is always a synonym
648: for -Tascii.
649: * Furthermore, multibyte-encoded documents, such as those in UTF-8, may
650: be on-the-fly recoded into mandoc(1) input by using the newly-added
651: preconv(1) utility. Note: in the future, this feature may be
652: integrated into mandoc(1).
653:
654: Changes in version 1.11.2, released on May 12, 2011
655:
656: * Corrected some installation issues in version 1.11.1.
657: * Further migration to libmandoc.
658: * Initial public release (this utility is very much under development)
659: of mandocdb(8). This utility produces keyword databases of manual
660: content, which features semantic querying of manual content.
661:
662: Changes in version 1.11.1, released on April 4, 2011
663:
664: * The earlier libroff, libmdoc, and libman soup have been merged into
665: a single library, libmandoc, which manages all aspects of parsing
666: real manuals, from line-handling to tbl(7) parsing.
667: * As usual, many general fixes and improvements have also occurred.
668: In particular, a great deal of redundancy and superfluous code has
669: been removed with the merging of the backend libraries.
1.3 schwarze 670: * see also the changes in 1.10.10
671:
672: Changes in version 1.10.10, March 20, 2011, NOT released
673:
674: * Initial eqn(7) functionality is in place. For the time being,
675: this is limited to the recognition of equation blocks;
676: future version of mdocml will expand upon this framework.
1.1 schwarze 677:
678: Changes in version 1.10.9, released on January 7, 2011
679:
680: * Many back-end fixes have been implemented: argument handling (quoting),
681: man(7) improvements, error/warning classes, and many more.
682: * Initial tbl(7) functionality (see the "TS", "TE", and "T&" macros in
683: the roff(7) manual) has been merged from tbl.bsd.lv. Output is still
684: minimal, especially for -Thtml and -Txhtml, but manages to at least
685: display data. This means that mandoc(1) now has built-in support
686: for two troff preprocessors via libroff: soelim(1) and tbl(1).
687:
688: Changes in version 1.10.8, released on December 24, 2010
689:
1.3 schwarze 690: * Overhauled the -Thtml and -Txhtml output modes. They now display
1.1 schwarze 691: readable output in arbitrary browsers, including text-based ones like
692: lynx(1). See HTML and XHTML manuals in the DOCUMENTATION section
693: for examples. Attention: available style-sheet classes have been
694: considerably changed! See the example.style.css file for details.
695: Lastly, libmdoc and libman have been cleaned up and reduced in size
696: and complexity.
1.3 schwarze 697: * see also the changes in 1.10.7
698:
699: Changes in version 1.10.7, December 6, 2010, NOT released
700:
701: Significant improvements merged from OpenBSD downstream, including:
702: * many new roff(7) components,
703: * in-line implementation of troff's soelim(1),
704: * broken-block handling,
705: * overhauled error classifications, and
706: * cleaned up handling of error conditions.
1.1 schwarze 707:
708: Changes in version 1.10.6, released on September 27, 2010
709:
710: * Calling conventions for mandoc(1) have changed: -W improved and -f
711: deprecated.
712: * Non-ASCII characters are also now uniformly discarded.
713: * Lots of documentation improvements.
714: * Many incremental fixes accomodating for groff's more interesting
715: productions.
716: * Lastly, pod2man(1) preambles are now fully accepted after some
717: considerable roff(7) and special character support.
718:
719: Changes in version 1.10.5, released on July 27, 2010
720:
721: * Primarily a bug-fix and polish release, but including -Tpdf support
722: in mandoc(1) by way of "Summer of Code". Highlights:
723: * fix "Sm" and "Bd" handling
724: * fix end-of-sentence handling for embedded sentences
725: * polish man(7) documentation
726: * document all mdoc(7) macros
727: * polish mandoc(1) -Tps output
728: * lots of internal clean-ups in character escapes
729: * un-break literal contexts in man(7) documents
730: * improve -Thtml output for -man
731: * add mandoc(1) -Tpdf support
732:
733: Changes in version 1.10.4, released on July 12, 2010
734:
735: * Lots of features developed during both "Summer of Code" and the
736: OpenBSD c2k10 hackathon:
737: * minimal "ds" roff(7) symbols are supported
738: * beautified SYNOPSIS section output
739: * acceptance of scope-block breakage in mdoc(7)
740: * clarify error message status
741: * many minor bug-fixes and formatting issues resolved
1.3 schwarze 742: * see also changes in 1.10.3
743:
744: Changes in version 1.10.3, June 29, 2010, NOT released
745:
746: * variable font-width and paper-size support in mandoc(1) -Tps output
747: * "Bk" mdoc(7) support
1.1 schwarze 748:
749: Changes in version 1.10.2, released on June 19, 2010
750:
751: * Small release featuring text-decoration in -Tps output,
752: a few minor relaxations of errors, and some optimisations.
753:
754: Changes in version 1.10.1, released on June 7, 2010
755:
756: * This primarily focusses on the "Bl" and "It" macros described in
757: mdoc(7). Multi-line column support is now fully compatible with groff,
758: as are implicit list entries for columns.
759: * Removed manuals(7) in favour of http://manpages.bsd.lv.
760: * The way we handle the SYNOPSIS section (see the SYNOPSIS documentation
761: in MANUAL STRUCTURE) has also been considerably simplified compared
762: to groff's method.
763: * Furthermore, the -Owidth=width output option has been added to -Tascii,
764: see mandoc(1).
765: * Lastly, initial PostScript output has been added with the -Tps option
766: to mandoc(1). It's brutally simple at the moment: fixed-font, with no
767: font decorations.
768:
769: Changes in version 1.10.0, released on May 29, 2010
770:
771: * Release consisting of the results from the m2k10 hackathon and up-merge
772: from OpenBSD. This requires a significant note of thanks to Ingo
773: Schwarze (OpenBSD) and Joerg Sonnenberger (NetBSD) for their hard work,
774: and again to Joerg for hosting m2k10. Highlights (mostly cribbed from
775: Ingo's m2k10 report) follow in no particular order:
776: * a libroff preprocessor in front of libmdoc and libman stripping out
777: roff(7) instructions;
778: * end-of-sentence (EOS) detection in free-form and macro lines;
779: * correct handling of tab-separated columnar lists in mdoc(7);
780: * improved main calling routines to optionally use mmap(3) for better
781: performance;
782: * cleaned up exiting when invoked as -Tlint or over multiple files
783: with -fign-errors;
784: * error and warning message handling re-written to be unified for
785: libroff, libmdoc, and libman;
786: * handling of badly-nested explicit-scoped macros;
787: * improved free-form text parsing in libman and libmdoc;
788: * significant GNU troff compatibility improvements in -Tascii,
789: largely in terms of spacing;
790: * a regression framework for making sure the many fragilities of GNU
791: troff aren't trampled in subsequent work;
792: * support for -Tascii breaking at hyphens encountered in free-form text;
793: * and many more minor fixes and improvements
794:
795: Changes in version 1.9.25, released on May 13, 2010
796:
797: * Fixed handling of "\*(Ba" escape.
798: * Backed out -fno-ign-chars (pointless complexity).
799: * Fixed erroneous breaking of literal lines.
800: * Fixed SYNOPSIS breaking lines before non-initial macros.
801: * Changed default section ordering.
802: * Most importantly, the framework for end-of-sentence double-spacing is
803: in place, now implemented for the "end-of-sentence, end-of-line" rule.
804: * This is a stable roll-back point before the mandoc hackathon in Rostock!
805:
806: Changes in version 1.9.24, released on May 9, 2010
807:
808: * Rolled back break-at-hyphen.
809: * -DUGLY is now the default (no feature splits!).
810: * Free-form text is not de-chunked any more: lines are passed
811: whole-sale into the front-end, including whitespace.
812: * Added mailing lists.
813:
814: Changes in version 1.9.23, released on April 7, 2010
815:
816: * mdocml has been linked to the OpenBSD build.
817: * This version incorporates many small changes, mostly from patches
818: by OpenBSD, allowing crufty manuals to slip by with warnings instead
819: of erroring-out.
820: * Some subtle semantic issues, such as punctuation scope, have also
821: been fixed.
822: * Lastly, some issues with -Thtml have been fixed, which prompted an
823: update to the online manual pages style layout.
824:
825: Changes in version 1.9.22, released on March 31, 2010
826:
827: * Adjusted merge of the significant work by Ingo Schwarze
828: in getting "Xo" blocks (block full implicit, e.g., "It"
829: for non-columnar lists) to work properly. This isn't
830: enabled by default: you must specify -DUGLY as a compiler
831: flag (see the Makefile for details).
832:
833: Changes in version 1.9.20, released on March 30, 2010
834:
835: * More efforts to get roff instructions in man(7) documents under
836: control. Note that roff instructions embedded in line-scoped,
837: next-line macros (e.g. "B") are not supported.
838: * Leading punctuation for mdoc(7) macros, such as "Fl ( ( a",
839: are now correctly handled.
840:
841: Changes in version 1.9.18, released on March 27, 2010
842:
843: * Many fixes (largely pertaining to scope)
844: and improvements (e.g., handling of apostrophe-control macros,
845: which fixes the strange "BR" seen in some macro output)
846: to handling roff instructions in man(7) documents.
847:
848: Changes in version 1.9.17, released on March 25, 2010
849:
850: * Accept perlpod(1) standard preamble.
851: * Also accept (and discard) "de", "dei", "am", "ami", and "ig"
852: roff macro blocks.
853:
854: Changes in version 1.9.16, released on March 22, 2010
855:
856: * Inspired by patches and bug reports by Ingo Schwarze,
857: allowed man(7) to accept non-printing elements to be nested
858: within next-line scopes, such as "br" within "B" or "TH",
859: which is valid roff.
860: * Longsoon architecture also noted and Makefile cleaned up.
861:
862: Changes in version 1.9.15, released on February 18, 2010
863:
864: * Moved to our new BSD.lv home.
865: * XHTML is now an acceptable output mode for mandoc(1);
866: * "Xr" made more compatible with groff;
867: * "Vt" fixed when invoked in SYNOPSIS;
868: * "\\" escape removed;
869: * end-of-line white-space detected for all lines;
870: * subtle bug fixed in list display for some modes;
871: * compatibility layer checked in for compilation in diverse
872: UNIX systems;
873: * and column lengths handled correctly.
