- This version features a new, work-in-progress mandoc 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 -Ofragment option was added to mandoc's -Thtml and -Txhtml modes. + Significant work on apropos and mandocdb. These tools are + now much more robust. + 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.
- While adding features, an apropos utility has been merged from the mandoc-tools sandbox. - This interfaces with mandocdb for semantic search of manual content. apropos is different from the traditional apropos primarily in allowing keyword search - (such as for functions, utilities, etc.) and regular expressions. + 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.
- In documentation news, 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. + The mailing list archive for the discuss and tech lists are being hosted by Gmane at gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.user and gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.devel, respectively.
- Furthermore, for tbl, the -Tascii mode 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 indentation and alignment. The page headers in mdoc are now - nicer for very long titles. + Lastly, I'm no longer providing binaries, as nobody has asked for them.

- 02-09-2011: version 1.11.7 -
- 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. -
