- 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. -
