- 12-07-2010: - version 1.10.4 + 04-04-2011: + version 1.11.1
- Lots of features developed during both Summer of Code and the - OpenBSD c2k10 hackathon: + The earlier libroff, libmdoc, and libman soup have been merged into + a single library, libmandoc, which manages all aspects of + parsing real manuals (from line-handling to tbl parsing).
- -- 19-06-2010: - version 1.10.2 + Beyond this structural change, initial eqn functionality is in + place. For the time being, this is limited to the recognition of equation blocks; + future version of mdocml will expand upon this framework.
- Small release featuring text-decoration in -Tps output, a few - minor relaxations of errors, and some optimisations. + As usual, many general fixes and improvements have also occured. In particular, a great + deal of redundancy and superfluous code has been removed with the merging of the backend + libraries.
- 07-06-2010: - version 1.10.1 + 07-01-2011: + version 1.10.9
- This primarily focusses on the Bl
and It
macros described in mdoc. Multi-line column support is now fully compatible with
- groff, as are implicit list entries for columns. Removed manuals.7 in favour of http://manpages.bsd.lv. The way we
- handle the SYNOPSIS section (see the SYNOPSIS documentation in MANUAL STRUCTURE) has also
- been considerably simplified compared to groff's method. Furthermore, the -Owidth=width output option has been added to -Tascii (see mandoc). Lastly, initial
- PostScript output has been added with the -Tps option to mandoc. It's brutally simple at the moment: fixed-font, with
- no font decorations.
+ Many back-end fixes have been implemented: argument handling (quoting), man improvements, error/warning classes, and many more.
+ Initial tbl functionality (see the TS
, TE
, and
+ T&
macros in the roff manual) has been
+ merged from tbl.bsd.lv. Output is
+ still minimal, especially for -Thtml and -Txhtml, but manages to at least display data. This means that mandoc now has built-in support for two troff preprocessors via
+ libroff: soelim and tbl.

- 29-05-2010: - version 1.10.0 + 24-12-2010: + version 1.10.8
- 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: + Significant improvements merged from OpenBSD downstream, including
+ Also overhauled the -Thtml and -Txhtml output modes. They now display readable output in arbitrary
+ browsers, including text-based ones like lynx. See HTML and XHTML manuals in the DOCUMENTATION section for examples. Attention: available style-sheet classes have been considerably
+ changed! See the example.style.css file for details.
+ Lastly, libmdoc and libman have been
+ cleaned up and reduced in size and complexity.
