version 1.10.0 |

|
Release consisting of the results from the m2k10 hackathon and up-merge from OpenBSD. |
|
This requires a significant note of thanks to Ingo Schwarze (OpenBSD) and Joerg |
|
Sonnenberger (NetBSD) for their hard work, and again to Joerg for hosting m2k10. |
|
Highlights (mostly cribbed from Ingo's m2k10 report) follow in no particular order: |

<SPAN CLASS="date">13-05-2010</SPAN>: |

version 1.9.25 |

</P> |
|
<P> |
|
Fixed handling of <Q>\*(Ba</Q> escape. Backed out <SPAN |
|
CLASS="flag">-fno-ign-chars</SPAN> (pointless complexity). Fixed erroneous |
|
breaking of literal lines. Fixed SYNOPSIS breaking lines before non-initial |
|
macros. Changed default section ordering. Most importantly, the framework for |
|
end-of-sentence double-spacing is in place, now implemented for the |
|
<Q>end-of-sentence, end-of-line</Q> rule. This is a stable roll-back point |
|
before the mandoc hackathon in Rostock! |

Rolled back break-at-hyphen. <SPAN CLASS="flag">-DUGLY</SPAN> is now the |
|
default (no feature splits!). Free-form text is not de-chunked any more: lines |
|
are passed whole-sale into the front-end, including whitespace. Added mailing |
|
lists. Lastly, <SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> is the focus of two <A |

|

<SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> has been linked to the <A CLASS="external" |
|
HREF="http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20100403">OpenBSD build</a>. This |
|
version incorporates many small changes, mostly from patches by OpenBSD, |
|
allowing crufty manuals to slip by with warnings instead of erroring-out. Some |
|
subtle semantic issues, such as punctuation scope, have also been fixed. |
|
Lastly, some issues with <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Thtml</SPAN> have been fixed, which |
|
prompted an update to the <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">online</A> <A |
|
HREF="mandoc_char.7.html">manual</A> <A HREF="man.7.html">pages</A> style |
