+ 04-04-2011: version 1.11.1 +
++ The earlier libroff, libmdoc, and libman soup have been merged into + a single library, libmandoc, which manages all aspects of + parsing real manuals (from line-handling to tbl parsing). +
++ Beyond this structural change, initial eqn functionality is in + place. For the time being, this is limited to the recognition of equation blocks; + future version of mdocml will expand upon this framework. +
++ As usual, many general fixes and improvements have also occurred. In particular, a great + deal of redundancy and superfluous code has been removed with the merging of the backend + libraries. +
+ ++ 07-01-2011: version 1.10.9 +
++ Many back-end fixes have been implemented: argument handling (quoting), man improvements, error/warning classes, and many more. +
+
+ Initial tbl functionality (see the TS
, TE
, and
+ T&
macros in the roff manual) has been
+ merged from tbl.bsd.lv. Output is
+ still minimal, especially for -Thtml and -Txhtml, but manages to at least display data. This means that mandoc now has built-in support for two troff preprocessors via
+ libroff: soelim and tbl.
+
+ 24-12-2010: version 1.10.8 +
++ Significant improvements merged from OpenBSD downstream, including +
+
+ Also overhauled the -Thtml and -Txhtml output modes. They now display readable output in arbitrary
+ browsers, including text-based ones like lynx. See HTML and XHTML manuals in the DOCUMENTATION section for examples. Attention: available style-sheet classes have been considerably
+ changed! See the example.style.css file for details.
+ Lastly, libmdoc and libman have been
+ cleaned up and reduced in size and complexity.
+
+ See cvsweb for + historical notes. +
