+ 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). +

09-05-2010 - Fixed handling of \*(Ba escape. Backed out -fno-ign-chars (pointless complexity). - Version: 1.9.24. -
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. -
31-03-2010 - Version 1.9.22: adjusted merge of the significant work - by Ingo Schwarze in getting Xo blocks (block full implicit, e.g., - It for non-columnar lists) to work properly. This isn't enabled by - default: you must specify -DUGLY as a compiler flag - (see the Makefile for details). -
30-03-2010 - 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. -
27-03-2010 - 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. -
25-03-2010 - Version 1.9.17 highlights: accept perlpod standard preamble. - Also accept (and discard) de, dei, am, ami, and - ig roff macro blocks. -
22-03-2010 - 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. -
18-02-2010 - Moved to our new BSD.lv home. - 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. -
