- 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. + Ingo, can you summarise your changes here?

- 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. + The mandocdb tools (mandocdb, + apropos (absorbing whatis), and + man.cgi have been re-written to use + sqlite3 as a database.

- This is also the first release featuring a distributed Windows binary, available at /binaries/mdocml-win32.zip. -

- 12-07-2011: version 1.11.4 -

-

- 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! -
