19-05-2011: version 1.11.3 |
|
</P> |

<P> |
|
Introduce locale-encoding of output with the <B>-Tlocale</B> output option and Unicode escaped-character input. |
|
See <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> and <A HREF="mandoc_char.7.html">mandoc_char</A>, respectively, for details. |
|
This allows for non-ASCII characters (e.g., <I>\[u5000]</I>) to be rendered in the locale's encoding, if said |
|
environment supports wide-character encoding (if it does not, <B>-Tascii</B> is used instead). |
|
Locale support can be turned off at compile time by removing <I>-DUSE_WCHAR</I> in the <I>Makefile</I>, in which case |
|
<B>-Tlocale</B> is always a synonym for <B>-Tascii</B>. |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
Furthermore, multibyte-encoded documents, such as those in UTF-8, may be on-the-fly recoded as <A |
|
HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> input by using the newly-added <A HREF="preconv.1.html">preconv</A> utility. |

12-05-2011: version 1.11.2 |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
Corrected some installation issues in version 1.11.1. |
|
Further migration to <A HREF="mandoc.3.html">libmandoc</A>. |
|
Initial public release (this utility is very much under development) of <A HREF="makewhatis.1.html">makewhatis</A>, |
|
initially named mandoc-db. |
|
This utility produces keyword databases of manual content |
|
<A HREF="http://mdocml.bsd.lv/mandoc-cgi/index.html">mandoc-cgi</A>, which features semantic querying of manual content. |
|
</P> |

<P CLASS="news"> |

04-04-2011: version 1.11.1 |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
The earlier <I>libroff</I>, <I>libmdoc</I>, and <I>libman</I> soup have been merged into |
|
a single library, <A HREF="mandoc.3.html">libmandoc</A>, which manages all aspects of |
|
parsing real manuals (from line-handling to <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl</A> parsing). |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
Beyond this structural change, initial <A HREF="eqn.7.html">eqn</A> functionality is in |
|
place. For the time being, this is limited to the recognition of equation blocks; |
|
future version of <SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> will expand upon this framework. |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
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. |
|
</P> |
