- xx-xx-2011: version 1.xx.x
+ 23-03-2011: version 1.12.1
- This version features a new, work-in-progress mandoc output mode: -Tman. This mode
- allows a system maintainer to distribute man media for older systems that may not natively
- support mdoc, such as old Solaris systems.
- The -Ofragment option was added to mandoc's -Thtml and -Txhtml modes.
+ Significant work on apropos and mandocdb. These tools are
+ now much more robust.
+ A whatis implementation is now handled as an apropos mode.
+ These tools are also able to minimally handle pre-formatted pages, that is, those already formatted by another utility
+ such as GNU troff.
- While adding features, an apropos utility has been merged from the mandoc-tools sandbox.
- This interfaces with mandocdb for semantic search of manual content.
+ The man.cgi script is also now available for wider testing. It interfaces with mandocdb manuals cached by catman. HTML output is generated
+ on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal methods to convert pre-formatted pages.
- In documentation news, the mdoc and man manuals have been made
- considerably more readable by adding MACRO OVERVIEW sections, by moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE
- SYNTAX to the roff manual, and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections
- down to the bottom of the page.
+ The mailing list archive for the discuss and tech lists are being hosted by Gmane at gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.user and gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.devel, respectively.
- Furthermore, for tbl, the -Tascii mode horizontal spacing of tables was rewritten
- completely. It is now compatible with groff, both
- with and without frames and rulers. Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in man, and
- several bugs were fixed regarding indentation and alignment. The page headers in mdoc are now
- nicer for very long titles.
+ Lastly, I'm no longer providing binaries, as nobody has asked for them.

- 02-09-2011: version 1.11.7
-
- Added demandoc utility for stripping away macros and escapes. This replaces the
- historical deroff
utility. Also improved the mdoc and man manuals.
-
-
- 16-08-2011: version 1.11.6
-
-
- Handling of tr macro in roff implemented. This makes Perl documentation much more
- readable. Hyphenation is also now enabled in man format documents. Many other general
- improvements have been implemented. Furthermore, a 64-bit Windows binary is now available at mdocml-win64.zip and a Mac OS X universal binary is available at mdocml-macosx.zip.

-
- 24-07-2011: version 1.11.5
-
-
- Significant eqn improvements. mdocml can now parse arbitrary eqn input
- (although few GNU extensions are accepted, nor is mixing low-level roff with eqn). See the eqn
- manual for details. For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text. The equation parser satisfies
- the language specified in the Second
- Edition User's Guide.
-
-
- This is also the first release featuring a distributed Windows binary, available at /binaries/mdocml-win32.zip.
