hosting m2k10. Highlights (mostly cribbed from Ingo's m2k10 report) follow in |
| escape removed; end-of-line white-space detected for all lines; subtle bug |
no particular order: |

Fixed handling of <Q>\*(Ba</Q> escape. Backed out <SPAN |
| |
CLASS="flag">-fno-ign-chars</SPAN> (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 |
| |
<Q>end-of-sentence, end-of-line</Q> rule. This is a stable roll-back point |

Rolled back break-at-hyphen. <SPAN CLASS="flag">-DUGLY</SPAN> 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, <SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> is the focus of two <A |

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. |
