26-05-2011: version 1.11.3

</P>

<P>

Introduce locale-encoding of output with the <B>-Tlocale</B> output option and Unicode escaped-character input.

This is also the first release featuring a distributed Windows binary, available at <A

See <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> and <A HREF="mandoc_char.7.html">mandoc_char</A>, respectively, for details.

HREF="/binaries/mdocml-win32.zip">/binaries/mdocml-win32.zip</A>.

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 into <A

HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> input by using the newly-added <A HREF="preconv.1.html">preconv</A> utility.

Note: in the future, this feature may be integrated into <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A>.
