+ Significant work on apropos and mandocdb. These tools are + now much more robust and in line with other manpage systems. A whatis implementation is now + handled as an apropos mode. These tools are also able to minimally handle pre-formatted + pages, that is, those already formatted by another utility such as GNU troff. +
+
+ The man.cgi script is also now available for wider testing. It interfaces with mandocdb manuals cached by catman. HTML output is generated + on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal methods to convert pre-formatted pages. +

- Added demandoc utility for stripping away macros and escapes. This replaces the - historical `deroff` utility. Also improved the mdoc and man manuals. -

- 16-08-2011: version 1.11.6 -
-
- 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. -

- 24-07-2011: version 1.11.5 -
-
- 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. -
-
- This is also the first release featuring a distributed Windows binary, available at /binaries/mdocml-win32.zip. -
