+ 07-06-2010: + version 1.10.1 +
+
+ This primarily focusses on the Bl
and It
macros described in mdoc. Multi-line column support is now fully compatible with
+ groff, as are implicit list entries for columns. Removed manuals.7 in favour of http://manpages.bsd.lv. The way we
+ handle the SYNOPSIS section (see the SYNOPSIS documentation in MANUAL STRUCTURE) has also
+ been considerably simplified compared to groff's method. Lastly, the -Owidth=width output option has been added to -Tascii (see mandoc).
+
+ 29-05-2010: + version 1.10.0 +
++ 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: +
++ 13-05-2010: + version 1.9.25 +
+
+ 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!
+
+ 09-05-2010: + version 1.9.24 +
+
+ 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).
+
+ 07-04-2010: + version 1.9.23 +
++ 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. +
++ See cvsweb for + historical notes. +
