- For tbl, the horizontal spacing of tables was rewritten completely. - It is now compatible with groff, both with and without frames and rulers. - Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in man, - and several bugs were fixed regarding various kinds of indentation and alignment. - The page headers in mdoc are now nicer even for very long titles. - Implementation of a mdoc-to-man-coverter (-Tman) was started. - This is work in progress and will be developed in the tree. - The mdoc and man manuals have been made more readable - by adding MACRO OVERVIEW sections, by moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE SYNTAX to the roff manual, - and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections down to the bottom of the page. + This version features a new, work-in-progress output mode: -Tman. This mode allows a system maintainer to + distribute man media for older systems that may not natively support mdoc, such as old Solaris systems.

+ The mdoc and man manuals have been made considerably more readable by + adding MACRO OVERVIEW sections, by moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE SYNTAX to the roff manual, and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections down to the bottom of + the page. +
