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).

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
1.17 ! schwarze 56: dereference caused by indirectly broken .Nd or .Nm blocks.
1.13 schwarze 57: * mdoc(7) -Thtml: Fix a NULL dereference for .Bl -column with 0 columns.

! 59: block-end macro calling another block-end macro.
1.13 schwarze 60: * mdoc(7): Fix NULL dereference if the only child of the head
61: of the first .Sh was an empty in-line macro.
62: * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure for a .Bd without a type that
63: breaks another block.
64: * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by .Bl -column without .It
65: but containing eqn(7) or tbl(7) code.
66: * roff(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by \z\[u00FF] with -Tps/-Tpdf.
67: * roff(7): Fix an assertion failures caused by whitespace inside \o''
68: (overstrike) sequences.

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

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

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

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