+ 31-12-2013: version 1.12.3 +

+

+ In the mdoc(7) SYNOPSIS, line breaks and hanging indentation + now work correctly for .Fo/.Fa/.Fc and .Fn blocks. + Thanks to Franco Fichtner for doing part of the work. +

+

+ The mdoc(7) .Bk macro got some addititonal bugfixes. +

+

+ In mdoc(7) macro arguments, double quotes can now be quoted + by doubling them, just like in man(7). + Thanks to Tsugutomo ENAMI for the patch. +

+

+ At the end of man(7) macro lines, end-of-sentence spacing + now works. Thanks to Franco Fichtner for the patch. +

+

+ For backward compatibility, the man(7) parser now supports the + man-ext .UR/.UE (uniform resource identifier) block macros. +

+

+ The man(7) parser now handles closing blocks that are not open + more gracefully. +

+

+ The man(7) parser now ignores blank lines right after .SH and .SS. +

+

+ In the man(7) formatter, reset indentation when leaving a block, + not just when entering the next one. +

+

+ The roff(7) .nr request now supports incrementing and decrementing + number registers and stops parsing the number right before the first non-digit character. +

+

+ The roff(7) parser now supports the alternative escape sequence + syntax \C'uXXXX' for Unicode characters. +

+

+ The roff(7) parser now parses and ignores the .fam (font family) + and .hw (hyphenation points) requests and the \d and \u escape sequences. +

+

+ The roff(7) manual got a new ESCAPE SEQUENCE REFERENCE. +

- 23-03-2012: version 1.12.1 -

-

- 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. -

-

- 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. -

-

- 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. -

-

- Lastly, I'm no longer providing binaries, as nobody has asked for them. -
