15-02-2010xx-05-2010 - Moved to our new BSD.lv home. - Version 1.9.15. + Release consisting of the results from the m2k10 hackathon and up-merge from + OpenBSD. This requires a significant note of thanks to Ingo Schwarze (OpenBSD) + and Joerg Sonnenberger (NetBSD) for their hard work, and again to Joerg for + hosting m2k10. Highlights (mostly cribbed from Ingo's m2k10 report) follow in + no particular order: +
    +
  • a libroff preprocessor in front of libmdoc and libman stripping out + roff instructions;
    • +
  • end-of-sentence (EOS) detection in free-form and macro lines;
    • +
  • correct handling of tab-separated columnar lists in -mdoc;
    • +
  • improved main calling routines to optionally use mmap() for better + performance;
    • +
  • cleaned up exiting when invoked as -Tlint or over + multiple files with -fign-errors;
    • +
  • error and warning message handling re-written to be unified for libroff, libmdoc, and libman;
    • +
  • handling of badly-nested explicit-scoped macros;
    • +
  • improved free-form text parsing in libman and libmdoc;
    • +
  • significant GNU troff compatibility improvements in -Tascii, largely in terms of spacing;
    • +
  • a regression framework for making sure the many fragilities of GNU troff + aren't trampled in subsequent work;
    • +
  • support for -Tascii breaking at hyphens + encountered in free-form text;
    • +
  • and many more minor fixes and improvements (no really, consult cvsweb and see + for yourself!).
    • +
+ Version: 1.10.0.
13-05-2010 + Fixed handling of \*(Ba escape. Backed out -fno-ign-chars (pointless complexity). Fixed erroneous + breaking of literal lines. Fixed SYNOPSIS breaking lines before non-initial + macros. Changed default section ordering. Most importantly, the framework for + end-of-sentence double-spacing is in place, now implemented for the + end-of-sentence, end-of-line rule. This is a stable roll-back point + before the mandoc hackathon in Rostock! + Version: 1.9.25. +
09-05-2010 + Rolled back break-at-hyphen. -DUGLY is now the + default (no feature splits!). Free-form text is not de-chunked any more: lines + are passed whole-sale into the front-end, including whitespace. Added mailing + lists. Lastly, mdocml is the focus of two Google Summer of Code + projects this year: mandoc -Tps + (NetBSD) and BSD-licensed + Text-Processing Tools (FreeBSD). + Version: 1.9.24. +
07-04-2010 + mdocml has been linked to the OpenBSD build. This + version incorporates many small changes, mostly from patches by OpenBSD, + allowing crufty manuals to slip by with warnings instead of erroring-out. Some + subtle semantic issues, such as punctuation scope, have also been fixed. + Lastly, some issues with -Thtml have been fixed, which + prompted an update to the online manual pages style + layout. Version: 1.9.23. +
+ See + cvsweb + for historical notes. +
