- xx-07-2011: version 1.11.5 + xx-xx-2011: version 1.11.x

- Significant eqn improvements. mdocml can now parse arbitrary equations - (although few GNU troff extensions are accepted, nor is mixing low-level roff with eqn). See the eqn manual for details. For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text. + Added demandoc utility for stripping away macros and escapes. This replaces the + historical deroff utility.

- 12-07-2011: version 1.11.4 + 16-08-2011: version 1.11.6

- Bug-fixes and clean-ups across all systems, especially in mandocdb makewhatis (note: still not - connected to the general build and must be compiled with make mandocdb make makewhatis) and the man parser. This release was significantly assisted by participants in OpenBSD's c2k11. Thanks! + Handling of tr macro in roff implemented. This makes Perl documentation much more + readable. Hyphenation is also now enabled in man format documents. Many other general + improvements have been implemented. Furthermore, a 64-bit Windows binary is now available at mdocml-win64.zip and a Mac OS X universal binary is available at mdocml-macosx.zip.

- 26-05-2011: version 1.11.3 + 24-07-2011: version 1.11.5

- Introduce locale-encoding of output with the -Tlocale output option and Unicode escaped-character input. - See mandoc and mandoc_char, respectively, for details. - This allows for non-ASCII characters (e.g., \[u5000]) to be rendered in the locale's encoding, if said - environment supports wide-character encoding (if it does not, -Tascii is used instead). - Locale support can be turned off at compile time by removing -DUSE_WCHAR in the Makefile, in which case - -Tlocale is always a synonym for -Tascii. + Significant eqn improvements. mdocml can now parse arbitrary eqn input + (although few GNU extensions are accepted, nor is mixing low-level roff with eqn). See the eqn + manual for details. For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text. The equation parser satisfies + the language specified in the Second + Edition User's Guide.

- Furthermore, multibyte-encoded documents, such as those in UTF-8, may be on-the-fly recoded into mandoc input by using the newly-added preconv utility. - Note: in the future, this feature may be integrated into mandoc. + This is also the first release featuring a distributed Windows binary, available at /binaries/mdocml-win32.zip.

- 12-05-2011: version 1.11.2 -

- Corrected some installation issues in version 1.11.1. - Further migration to libmandoc. - Initial public release (this utility is very much under development) of mandocdbmakewhatis, - initially named mandoc-db. - This utility produces keyword databases of manual content - mandoc-cgi, - mandoc-tools, - which features semantic querying of manual content. -
