- 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.

- 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.

-
- 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.

- 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.
