- Rolled back break-at-hyphen (broken). -DUGLY is now
- the default (I don't like feature splits). Free-form text is not de-chunked any
- more: lines are passed whole-sale into the front-end, including whitespace.
+ 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!).

+
+ 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.

- Version 1.9.20: more efforts to get roff instructions
- in -man documents under control. Note that roff instructions embedded in
- line-scoped, next-line macros (e.g. B ) are not supported. Leading
- punctuation for -mdoc macros, such as Fl ( ( a , are now correctly
- handled.

- Version 1.9.18: many fixes (largely pertaining to
- scope) and improvements (e.g., handling of apostrophe-control macros, which
- fixes the strange BR seen in some macro output) to handling roff
- instructions in -man documents.

- Version 1.9.16 highlights: inspired by patches and bug
- reports by Ingo Schwarze, allowed -man to accept
- non-printing elements to be nested within next-line scopes, such as br
- within B or TH , which is valid roff. Longsoon architecture also
- noted and Makefile cleaned up.

- Version 1.9.15 highlights: XHTML is now an acceptable
- output mode for mandoc(1); Xr made more
- compatible with groff; Vt fixed when invoked in SYNOPSIS; \\
- escape removed; end-of-line white-space detected for all lines; subtle bug
- fixed in list display for some modes; compatibility layer checked in for
- compilation in diverse UNIX systems; and column lengths handled correctly.
