1.84 kristaps 37: this (respectively small, C, <A CLASS="external"

417: <P>
418: This primarily focusses on the <Q>Bl</Q> and <Q>It</Q> macros described in <A
419: HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A>. Multi-line column support is now fully compatible with
1.78 kristaps 420: groff, as are implicit list entries for columns. Removed manuals.7 in favour of <A
1.79 kristaps 421: CLASS="external" HREF="http://manpages.bsd.lv">http://manpages.bsd.lv</A>. The way we
422: handle the SYNOPSIS section (see the SYNOPSIS documentation in <A
423: HREF="mdoc.7.html#x4d414e55414cx20x535452554354555245">MANUAL STRUCTURE</A>) has also
1.80 kristaps 424: been considerably simplified compared to groff's method. Furthermore, the <SPAN
1.79 kristaps 425: CLASS="flag">-Owidth=width</SPAN> output option has been added to <SPAN
1.80 kristaps 426: CLASS="flag">-Tascii</SPAN> (see <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A>). Lastly, initial
427: PostScript output has been added with the <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Tps</SPAN> option to <A
428: HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A>. It's brutally simple at the moment: fixed-font, with
429: no font decorations.

437: <P>
438: Release consisting of the results from the m2k10 hackathon and up-merge from OpenBSD.
439: This requires a significant note of thanks to Ingo Schwarze (OpenBSD) and Joerg
440: Sonnenberger (NetBSD) for their hard work, and again to Joerg for hosting m2k10.
441: Highlights (mostly cribbed from Ingo's m2k10 report) follow in no particular order:
