version 1.10.4

version 1.10.9

</P>

<P>

Lots of features developed during both <A CLASS="external"

Many back-end fixes have been implemented: argument handling (quoting), <A

HREF="http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/projects/mandoc_ps/">Summer of Code</A> and the

HREF="man.7.html">man</A> improvements, error/warning classes, and many more.

<A CLASS="external" HREF="http://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</A> c2k10 hackathon:

<UL>

<LI>minimal <Q>ds</Q> <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> symbols are supported</LI>

<LI><Q>Bk</Q> <A HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A> support</LI>

<P>

<SPAN CLASS="date">19-06-2010</SPAN>:

Initial <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl</A> functionality (see the <Q>TS</Q>, <Q>TE</Q>, and

version 1.10.2

<Q>T&</Q> macros in the <A HREF="roff.7.html#x5c265453">roff</A> manual) has been

merged from <A CLASS="external" HREF="http://tbl.bsd.lv">tbl.bsd.lv</A>. Output is

still minimal, especially for <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Thtml</SPAN> and <SPAN

CLASS="flag">-Txhtml</SPAN>, but manages to at least display data. This means that <A

HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> now has built-in support for two troff preprocessors via

<A HREF="roff.3.html">libroff</A>: soelim and tbl.

</P>

<P>

Small release featuring text-decoration in <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Tps</SPAN> output, a few

minor relaxations of errors, and some optimisations.

version 1.10.1

version 1.10.8

</P>

<P>

This primarily focusses on the <Q>Bl</Q> and <Q>It</Q> macros described in <A

Significant improvements merged from <A CLASS="external"

HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A>. Multi-line column support is now fully compatible with

HREF="http://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</A> downstream, including

groff, as are implicit list entries for columns. Removed manuals.7 in favour of <A

CLASS="external" HREF="http://manpages.bsd.lv">http://manpages.bsd.lv</A>. The way we

handle the SYNOPSIS section (see the SYNOPSIS documentation in <A

HREF="mdoc.7.html#x4d414e55414cx20x535452554354555245">MANUAL STRUCTURE</A>) has also

been considerably simplified compared to groff's method. Furthermore, the <SPAN

CLASS="flag">-Owidth=width</SPAN> output option has been added to <SPAN

CLASS="flag">-Tascii</SPAN> (see <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A>). Lastly, initial

PostScript output has been added with the <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Tps</SPAN> option to <A

HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A>. It's brutally simple at the moment: fixed-font, with

no font decorations.

version 1.10.0

</P>

<P>

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:

</P>

<UL>

<LI>a <A HREF="roff.3.html">libroff</A> preprocessor in front of <A

<LI>many new <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> components,</LI>

HREF="mdoc.3.html">libmdoc</A> and <A HREF="man.3.html">libman</A> stripping out

<LI>in-line implementation of troff's soelim,</LI>

<A HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> instructions;</LI>

<LI>broken-block handling,</LI>

<LI>end-of-sentence (EOS) detection in free-form and macro lines;</LI>

<LI>overhauled error classifications, and</LI>

<LI>correct handling of tab-separated columnar lists in <SPAN

<LI>cleaned up handling of error conditions.</LI>

CLASS="flag">-mdoc</SPAN>;</LI>

<LI>improved main calling routines to optionally use mmap() for better

performance;</LI>

<LI>cleaned up exiting when invoked as <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Tlint</SPAN> or over

multiple files with <SPAN CLASS="flag">-fign-errors</SPAN>;</LI>

<LI>error and warning message handling re-written to be unified for <A

HREF="roff.3.html">libroff</A>, <A HREF="mdoc.3.html">libmdoc</A>, and <A

HREF="man.3.html">libman</A>;</LI>

<LI>handling of badly-nested explicit-scoped macros;</LI>

<LI>improved free-form text parsing in <A HREF="man.3.html">libman</A> and <A

HREF="mdoc.3.html">libmdoc</A>;</LI>

<LI>significant GNU troff compatibility improvements in <SPAN

CLASS="flag">-Tascii</SPAN>, largely in terms of spacing;</LI>

<LI>a regression framework for making sure the many fragilities of GNU troff

aren't trampled in subsequent work;</LI>

<LI>support for <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Tascii</SPAN> breaking at hyphens

encountered in free-form text;</LI>

<LI>and many more minor fixes and improvements (no really, consult <A

HREF="http://mdocml.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/cvsweb/?cvsroot=mdocml">cvsweb</A> and see

for yourself!).</LI>

</UL>

<P>

Also overhauled the <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Thtml</SPAN> and <SPAN

CLASS="flag">-Txhtml</SPAN> output modes. They now display readable output in arbitrary

browsers, including text-based ones like <A CLASS="external"

HREF="http://lynx.isc.org">lynx</A>. See HTML and XHTML manuals in the <A

HREF="#documentation">DOCUMENTATION</A> section for examples. <SPAN

CLASS="attn">Attention: available style-sheet classes have been considerably

changed!</SPAN> See the <SPAN CLASS="file">example.style.css</SPAN> file for details.

Lastly, <A HREF="mdoc.3.html">libmdoc</A> and <A HREF="man.3.html">libman</A> have been

cleaned up and reduced in size and complexity.
