1.13 ! schwarze 4:
! 5: Changes in version 1.14.1, released on XXX, 2017
! 6:
! 7: --- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
! 8: * apropos(1): Reimplement complete semantic search functionality
! 9: without the dependency on SQLite3, using only POSIX APIs.
! 10: This comes with a completely new mandoc.db(5) file format.
! 11: * man(1): Support more than one tag entry for the same search term,
! 12: plus some minor improvements to the less(1) :t support.
! 13: * -Thtml: Use real macro names for CSS classes.
! 14: Systematic cleanup of and many improvements to mandoc.css.
! 15: * -Thtml: Produce human readable HTML code by using indentation
! 16: and better line breaks. Improve various HTML elements,
! 17: and trim several useless ones.
! 18: * New catman(8) utility, still somewhat experimental.
! 19: --- REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY ---
! 20: * Operating systems that don't provide mmap(3) are no longer supported.
! 21: * Drop support for manpath(1). Even if your system has manpath(1),
! 22: it is simpler to use MANPATH_DEFAULT in configure.local for
! 23: operating system defaults, man.conf(5) for machine-specific
! 24: modifications, and ${MANPATH}, -m, and -M for user preferences
! 25: than to bother with the complexity of manpath(1).
! 26: * makewhatis(8) -p: No longer warn about missing MLINKS since these
! 27: are no longer needed for anything.
! 28: --- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
! 29: * mdoc(7): Warn about invalid punctuation and content below NAME.
! 30: * mdoc(7): Warn about .Xr lacking the second argument (section).

! 32: * roff(7): Warn about trailing whitespace at the end of comments.
! 33: * mdoc(7): Always do text production in the validator, never in the
! 34: formatters. Cleaner, simpler, shorter, helps NetBSD apropos(1)
! 35: and also makes -Ttree output more useful.
! 36: * mdoc(7), man(7): Show metadata in -Ttree output.
! 37: --- RELIABILITY BUGFIXES ---
! 38: * man(1): Make "man -l" work with standard input from a pipe or file,
! 39: as long as standard output is a terminal.
! 40: * mdoc(7): Fix out of bounds read access for .Bl without a type
! 41: but with a width.
! 42: * mdoc(7): Fix out of bounds read access for .Bl -column starting
! 43: with a tab character instead of a child .It macro.
! 44: * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to segfaults caused
! 45: by stray block end macros in nested blocks of mismatching type.
! 46: * man(1): Fix NULL dereference when the first of multiple pages
! 47: shown was preformatted.
! 48: * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to NULL dereference
! 49: for macro sequences like .Bl .Bl .It Bo .El .It.
! 50: * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to NULL dereference
! 51: caused by .Ta following a nested .Bl -column breaking another block.
! 52: * mdoc(7) -Thtml: Fix a NULL dereference for .Bl -column with 0 columns.
! 53: * mdoc(7): Fix NULL dereference if the only child of the head
! 54: of the first .Sh was an empty in-line macro.
! 55: * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure for a .Bd without a type that
! 56: breaks another block.
! 57: * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by .Bl -column without .It
! 58: but containing eqn(7) or tbl(7) code.
! 59: * roff(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by \z\[u00FF] with -Tps/-Tpdf.
! 60: * roff(7): Fix an assertion failures caused by whitespace inside \o''
! 61: (overstrike) sequences.
! 62: * -Thtml: Fix an assertion failure caused by -Oman or -Oincludes of
! 63: excessive length.
! 64: --- PORTABILITY IMPROVEMENTS ---
! 65: * man(1): Do not mix stdio narrow and wide stream orientation
! 66: on stdout, which could cause output corruption on glibc.
! 67: * mandoc(1): Autodetect a suitable locale for -Tutf8 mode.
! 68: * Autodetect whether PATH_MAX is defined.
! 69: * Autodetect if nanosleep(3) needs -lrt.
! 70: * Put compiler arguments that may contain -l at the end.
! 71: --- MINOR BUGFIXES ---
! 72: * mdoc(7): Fix SYNOPSIS output if the first child of .Nm is a macro.
! 73: * mdoc(7) -Thtml: Improve formatting of .Bl -tag with short tags.
! 74: * man(7) -Thtml: Preserve whitespace in .nf (nofill) mode.
! 75: * mandoc(1): Error out on invalid output options on the command line.
! 76: --- STRUCTURAL CHANGES, no functional change ---
! 77: * Redesign part of the mandoc_html(3) interfaces, making them much
! 78: easier to use and reducing the amount of code by a few hundred lines.
! 79: --- THANKS TO ---

444: string), .dei (define macro with indirectly specified name),
445: .ll (line length), and .rr (remove register) requests.
446: * The roff(7) parser now supports string comparison and numerical
447: conditionals in the .if and .ie requests.

449: expression) and partially supports the \w (measure text width)
450: escape sequences.
451: * The terminal formatter now supports the \: (optional line break)
452: escape sequence.
453: * The roff parser now supports expansion of user-defined strings
454: involving indirect references.
455: * The roff(7) parser now handles some pre-defined read-only
456: number registers that occur in the pod2man(1) preamble.
457: * For backward compatibility, the mdoc(7) parser and formatters
458: now support the obsolete macros .En, .Es, .Fr, and .Ot.
459: * The mdoc(7) formatter non partially supports .Bd -centered.
460: * tbl(7) now handles leading and trailing vertical lines.
461: * The build system now provides fallback versions of strcasestr(3)
462: and strsep(3) for systems lacking them.
463: * The mdoc(7) manual now explains how various standards
464: supported by the .St macro are related to each other.
465: --- BUGFIXES ---
466: * In the roff(7) parser, several bugs were fixed with respect
467: to closing conditional blocks on macro lines.
468: * Parsing of roff(7) identifiers and escape sequences was improved
469: in multiple respects.
470: * In the mdoc(7) parser, the handling of defective document
471: prologues was improved in multiple ways.
472: * The mdoc(7) parser no longer skips content before the first section
473: header, and it no longer deletes non-.% content from .Rs blocks.
474: * In the mdoc(7) parser, a crash was fixed related to weird .Sh headers.
475: * In the mdoc(7) parser, handling of .Sm with missing or invalid
476: arguments was corrected.
477: * In the mdoc(7) parser, trailing punctuation at the end of partial
478: implicit macros no longer triggers end-of-sentence spacing.
479: * In the terminal formatter, two crashes were fixed: one triggered by
480: excessive indentation and another by excessively long .Nm arguments.
481: * In the terminal formatter, a floating point rounding bug was
482: fixed that sometimes caused an off-by-one error in indentation.
483: * In the UTF-8 formatter, rendering of accents, breakable hyphens,
484: and non-breakable spaces was corrected.
485: * In the HTML formatter, encoding of special characters was
486: corrected in multiple respects.
487: * In the mdoc(7) formatter, rendering of .Ex and .Rv was
488: improved for various edge cases.
489: * In the mdoc(7) formatter, handling of empty .Bl -inset item
490: heads was improved.
491: * In the man(7) formatter, some bugs were fixed with respect
492: to same-line detection in the context of .TP and .nf macros,
493: and the indentation of .IP and .TP blocks was improved.
494: * The mandoc(3) library no longer prints to stderr.

1.4 schwarze 505:
506: Changes in version 1.12.3, released on December 31, 2013
507:
508: * In the mdoc(7) SYNOPSIS, line breaks and hanging indentation
509: now work correctly for .Fo/.Fa/.Fc and .Fn blocks.
510: Thanks to Franco Fichtner for doing part of the work.
511: * The mdoc(7) .Bk macro got some addititonal bugfixes.
512: * In mdoc(7) macro arguments, double quotes can now be quoted
513: by doubling them, just like in man(7).
514: Thanks to Tsugutomo ENAMI for the patch.
515: * At the end of man(7) macro lines, end-of-sentence spacing
516: now works. Thanks to Franco Fichtner for the patch.
517: * For backward compatibility, the man(7) parser now supports the
518: man-ext .UR/.UE (uniform resource identifier) block macros.
519: * The man(7) parser now handles closing blocks that are not open
520: more gracefully.
521: * The man(7) parser now ignores blank lines right after .SH and .SS.
522: * In the man(7) formatter, reset indentation when leaving a block,
523: not just when entering the next one.
524: * The roff(7) .nr request now supports incrementing and decrementing
525: number registers and stops parsing the number right before the
526: first non-digit character.
527: * The roff(7) parser now supports the alternative escape sequence
528: syntax \C'uXXXX' for Unicode characters.
529: * The roff(7) parser now parses and ignores the .fam (font family)
530: and .hw (hyphenation points) requests and the \d and \u escape
531: sequences.
532: * The roff(7) manual got a new ESCAPE SEQUENCE REFERENCE.
1.1 schwarze 533:
1.2 schwarze 534: Changes in version 1.12.2, released on Oktober 5, 2013
1.1 schwarze 535:
536: * The mdoc(7) to man(7) converter, to be called as mandoc -Tman,
537: is now fully functional.
538: * The mandoc(1) utility now supports the -Ios (default operating system)
539: input option, and the -Tutf8 output mode now actually works.
540: * The mandocdb(8) utility no longer truncates existing databases when
541: starting to build new ones, but only replaces them when the build
542: actually succeeds.
543: * The man(7) parser now supports the PD macro (paragraph distance),
544: and (for GNU man-ext compatibility only) EX (example block) and EE
545: (example end). Plus several bugfixes regarding indentation, line
546: breaks, and vertical spacing, and regarding RS following TP.
547: * The roff(7) parser now supports the \f(BI (bold+italic) font escape,
548: the \z (zero cursor advance) escape and the cc (change control
549: character) and it (input line trap) requests. Plus bugfixes regarding
550: the \t (tab) escape, nested escape sequences, and conditional requests.
551: * In mdoc(7), several bugs were fixed related to UTF-8 output of quoting
552: enclosures, delimiter handling, list indentation and horizontal and
553: vertical spacing, formatting of the Lk, %U, and %C macros, plus some
554: bugfixes related to the handling of syntax errors like badly nested
555: font blocks, stray Ta macros outside column lists, unterminated It Xo
556: blocks, and non-text children of Nm blocks.
557: * In tbl(7), the width of horizontal spans and the vertical spacing
558: around tables was corrected, and in man(7) files, a crash was fixed
559: that was triggered by some particular unclosed T{ macros.
560: * For mandoc developers, we now provide a tbl(3) library manual and
561: gmdiff, a very small, very simplistic groff-versus-mandoc output
562: comparison tool.
1.2 schwarze 563: * Provide this NEWS file.
1.1 schwarze 564:
565: Changes in version 1.12.1, released on March 23, 2012
566:
567: * Significant work on apropos(1) and mandocdb(8). These tools are now
568: much more robust. A whatis(1) implementation is now handled as an
569: apropos(1) mode. These tools are also able to minimally handle
570: pre-formatted pages, that is, those already formatted by another
571: utility such as GNU troff.
572: * The man.cgi(7) script is also now available for wider testing.
573: It interfaces with mandocdb(8) manuals cached by catman(8).
574: HTML output is generated on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal
575: methods to convert pre-formatted pages.
576: * The mailing list archive for the discuss and tech lists are being
577: hosted by Gmane at gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.user and
578: gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.devel, respectively.
579:
580: Changes in version 1.12.0, released on October 8, 2011
581:
582: * This version features a new, work-in-progress mandoc(1) output mode:
583: -Tman. This mode allows a system maintainer to distribute man(7)
584: media for older systems that may not natively support mdoc(7), such
585: as old Solaris systems.
586: * The -Ofragment option was added to mandoc(1)'s -Thtml and -Txhtml modes.
587: * While adding features, an apropos(1) utility has been merged from the
588: mandoc-tools sandbox. This interfaces with mandocdb(8) for semantic
589: search of manual content. apropos(1) is different from the traditional
590: apropos primarily in allowing keyword search (such as for functions,
591: utilities, etc.) and regular expressions. Note that the calling
592: syntax for apropos is likely to change as it settles down.
593: * In documentation news, the mdoc(7) and man(7) manuals have been
594: made considerably more readable by adding MACRO OVERVIEW sections, by
595: moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE SYNTAX to the roff(7) manual,
596: and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections down to the
597: bottom of the page.
598: * Furthermore, for tbl(7), the -Tascii mode horizontal spacing of tables
599: was rewritten completely. It is now compatible with groff(1), both
600: with and without frames and rulers.
601: * Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in man(7), and several
602: bugs were fixed regarding indentation and alignment.
603: * The page headers in mdoc(7) are now nicer for very long titles.
604:
605: Changes in version 1.11.7, released on September 2, 2011
606:
607: * Added demandoc(1) utility for stripping away macros and escapes.
608: This replaces the historical deroff(1) utility.
609: * Also improved the mdoc(7) and man(7) manuals.
610:
611: Changes in version 1.11.6, released on August 16, 2011
612:
613: * Handling of tr macro in roff(7) implemented. This makes Perl
614: documentation much more readable. Hyphenation is also now enabled in
615: man(7) format documents. Many other general improvements have been
616: implemented.
617:
618: Changes in version 1.11.5, released on July 24, 2011
619:
620: * Significant eqn(7) improvements. mdocml can now parse arbitrary eqn
621: input (although few GNU extensions are accepted, nor is mixing
622: low-level roff with eqn). See the eqn(7) manual for details.
623: For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text.
624: The equation parser satisfies the language specified in the
625: Second Edition User's Guide:
626: http://www.kohala.com/start/troff/v7man/eqn/eqn2e.ps
627:
628: Changes in version 1.11.4, released on July 12, 2011
629:
630: * Bug-fixes and clean-ups across all systems, especially in mandocdb(8)
631: and the man(7) parser. This release was significantly assisted by
632: participants in OpenBSD's c2k11. Thanks!
633:
634: Changes in version 1.11.3, released on May 26, 2011
635:
636: * Introduce locale-encoding of output with the -Tlocale output option and
637: Unicode escaped-character input. See mandoc(1) and mandoc_char(7),
638: respectively, for details. This allows for non-ASCII characters (e.g.,
639: \[u5000]) to be rendered in the locale's encoding, if said environment
640: supports wide-character encoding (if it does not, -Tascii is used
641: instead). Locale support can be turned off at compile time by removing
642: -DUSE_WCHAR in the Makefile, in which case -Tlocale is always a synonym
643: for -Tascii.
644: * Furthermore, multibyte-encoded documents, such as those in UTF-8, may
645: be on-the-fly recoded into mandoc(1) input by using the newly-added
646: preconv(1) utility. Note: in the future, this feature may be
647: integrated into mandoc(1).
648:
649: Changes in version 1.11.2, released on May 12, 2011
650:
651: * Corrected some installation issues in version 1.11.1.
652: * Further migration to libmandoc.
653: * Initial public release (this utility is very much under development)
654: of mandocdb(8). This utility produces keyword databases of manual
655: content, which features semantic querying of manual content.
656:
657: Changes in version 1.11.1, released on April 4, 2011
658:
659: * The earlier libroff, libmdoc, and libman soup have been merged into
660: a single library, libmandoc, which manages all aspects of parsing
661: real manuals, from line-handling to tbl(7) parsing.
662: * As usual, many general fixes and improvements have also occurred.
663: In particular, a great deal of redundancy and superfluous code has
664: been removed with the merging of the backend libraries.
1.3 schwarze 665: * see also the changes in 1.10.10
666:
667: Changes in version 1.10.10, March 20, 2011, NOT released
668:
669: * Initial eqn(7) functionality is in place. For the time being,
670: this is limited to the recognition of equation blocks;
671: future version of mdocml will expand upon this framework.
1.1 schwarze 672:
673: Changes in version 1.10.9, released on January 7, 2011
674:
675: * Many back-end fixes have been implemented: argument handling (quoting),
676: man(7) improvements, error/warning classes, and many more.
677: * Initial tbl(7) functionality (see the "TS", "TE", and "T&" macros in
678: the roff(7) manual) has been merged from tbl.bsd.lv. Output is still
679: minimal, especially for -Thtml and -Txhtml, but manages to at least
680: display data. This means that mandoc(1) now has built-in support
681: for two troff preprocessors via libroff: soelim(1) and tbl(1).
682:
683: Changes in version 1.10.8, released on December 24, 2010
684:
1.3 schwarze 685: * Overhauled the -Thtml and -Txhtml output modes. They now display
1.1 schwarze 686: readable output in arbitrary browsers, including text-based ones like
687: lynx(1). See HTML and XHTML manuals in the DOCUMENTATION section
688: for examples. Attention: available style-sheet classes have been
689: considerably changed! See the example.style.css file for details.
690: Lastly, libmdoc and libman have been cleaned up and reduced in size
691: and complexity.
1.3 schwarze 692: * see also the changes in 1.10.7
693:
694: Changes in version 1.10.7, December 6, 2010, NOT released
695:
696: Significant improvements merged from OpenBSD downstream, including:
697: * many new roff(7) components,
698: * in-line implementation of troff's soelim(1),
699: * broken-block handling,
700: * overhauled error classifications, and
701: * cleaned up handling of error conditions.
1.1 schwarze 702:
703: Changes in version 1.10.6, released on September 27, 2010
704:
705: * Calling conventions for mandoc(1) have changed: -W improved and -f
706: deprecated.
707: * Non-ASCII characters are also now uniformly discarded.
708: * Lots of documentation improvements.
709: * Many incremental fixes accomodating for groff's more interesting
710: productions.
711: * Lastly, pod2man(1) preambles are now fully accepted after some
712: considerable roff(7) and special character support.
713:
714: Changes in version 1.10.5, released on July 27, 2010
715:
716: * Primarily a bug-fix and polish release, but including -Tpdf support
717: in mandoc(1) by way of "Summer of Code". Highlights:
718: * fix "Sm" and "Bd" handling
719: * fix end-of-sentence handling for embedded sentences
720: * polish man(7) documentation
721: * document all mdoc(7) macros
722: * polish mandoc(1) -Tps output
723: * lots of internal clean-ups in character escapes
724: * un-break literal contexts in man(7) documents
725: * improve -Thtml output for -man
726: * add mandoc(1) -Tpdf support
727:
728: Changes in version 1.10.4, released on July 12, 2010
729:
730: * Lots of features developed during both "Summer of Code" and the
731: OpenBSD c2k10 hackathon:
732: * minimal "ds" roff(7) symbols are supported
733: * beautified SYNOPSIS section output
734: * acceptance of scope-block breakage in mdoc(7)
735: * clarify error message status
736: * many minor bug-fixes and formatting issues resolved
1.3 schwarze 737: * see also changes in 1.10.3
738:
739: Changes in version 1.10.3, June 29, 2010, NOT released
740:
741: * variable font-width and paper-size support in mandoc(1) -Tps output
742: * "Bk" mdoc(7) support
1.1 schwarze 743:
744: Changes in version 1.10.2, released on June 19, 2010
745:
746: * Small release featuring text-decoration in -Tps output,
747: a few minor relaxations of errors, and some optimisations.
748:
749: Changes in version 1.10.1, released on June 7, 2010
750:
751: * This primarily focusses on the "Bl" and "It" macros described in
752: mdoc(7). Multi-line column support is now fully compatible with groff,
753: as are implicit list entries for columns.
754: * Removed manuals(7) in favour of http://manpages.bsd.lv.
755: * The way we handle the SYNOPSIS section (see the SYNOPSIS documentation
756: in MANUAL STRUCTURE) has also been considerably simplified compared
757: to groff's method.
758: * Furthermore, the -Owidth=width output option has been added to -Tascii,
759: see mandoc(1).
760: * Lastly, initial PostScript output has been added with the -Tps option
761: to mandoc(1). It's brutally simple at the moment: fixed-font, with no
762: font decorations.
763:
764: Changes in version 1.10.0, released on May 29, 2010
765:
766: * Release consisting of the results from the m2k10 hackathon and up-merge
767: from OpenBSD. This requires a significant note of thanks to Ingo
768: Schwarze (OpenBSD) and Joerg Sonnenberger (NetBSD) for their hard work,
769: and again to Joerg for hosting m2k10. Highlights (mostly cribbed from
770: Ingo's m2k10 report) follow in no particular order:
771: * a libroff preprocessor in front of libmdoc and libman stripping out
772: roff(7) instructions;
773: * end-of-sentence (EOS) detection in free-form and macro lines;
774: * correct handling of tab-separated columnar lists in mdoc(7);
775: * improved main calling routines to optionally use mmap(3) for better
776: performance;
777: * cleaned up exiting when invoked as -Tlint or over multiple files
778: with -fign-errors;
779: * error and warning message handling re-written to be unified for
780: libroff, libmdoc, and libman;
781: * handling of badly-nested explicit-scoped macros;
782: * improved free-form text parsing in libman and libmdoc;
783: * significant GNU troff compatibility improvements in -Tascii,
784: largely in terms of spacing;
785: * a regression framework for making sure the many fragilities of GNU
786: troff aren't trampled in subsequent work;
787: * support for -Tascii breaking at hyphens encountered in free-form text;
788: * and many more minor fixes and improvements
789:
790: Changes in version 1.9.25, released on May 13, 2010
791:
792: * Fixed handling of "\*(Ba" escape.
793: * Backed out -fno-ign-chars (pointless complexity).
794: * Fixed erroneous breaking of literal lines.
795: * Fixed SYNOPSIS breaking lines before non-initial macros.
796: * Changed default section ordering.
797: * Most importantly, the framework for end-of-sentence double-spacing is
798: in place, now implemented for the "end-of-sentence, end-of-line" rule.
799: * This is a stable roll-back point before the mandoc hackathon in Rostock!
800:
801: Changes in version 1.9.24, released on May 9, 2010
802:
803: * Rolled back break-at-hyphen.
804: * -DUGLY is now the default (no feature splits!).
805: * Free-form text is not de-chunked any more: lines are passed
806: whole-sale into the front-end, including whitespace.
807: * Added mailing lists.
808:
809: Changes in version 1.9.23, released on April 7, 2010
810:
811: * mdocml has been linked to the OpenBSD build.
812: * This version incorporates many small changes, mostly from patches
813: by OpenBSD, allowing crufty manuals to slip by with warnings instead
814: of erroring-out.
815: * Some subtle semantic issues, such as punctuation scope, have also
816: been fixed.
817: * Lastly, some issues with -Thtml have been fixed, which prompted an
818: update to the online manual pages style layout.
819:
820: Changes in version 1.9.22, released on March 31, 2010
821:
822: * Adjusted merge of the significant work by Ingo Schwarze
823: in getting "Xo" blocks (block full implicit, e.g., "It"
824: for non-columnar lists) to work properly. This isn't
825: enabled by default: you must specify -DUGLY as a compiler
826: flag (see the Makefile for details).
827:
828: Changes in version 1.9.20, released on March 30, 2010
829:
830: * More efforts to get roff instructions in man(7) documents under
831: control. Note that roff instructions embedded in line-scoped,
832: next-line macros (e.g. "B") are not supported.
833: * Leading punctuation for mdoc(7) macros, such as "Fl ( ( a",
834: are now correctly handled.
835:
836: Changes in version 1.9.18, released on March 27, 2010
837:
838: * Many fixes (largely pertaining to scope)
839: and improvements (e.g., handling of apostrophe-control macros,
840: which fixes the strange "BR" seen in some macro output)
841: to handling roff instructions in man(7) documents.
842:
843: Changes in version 1.9.17, released on March 25, 2010
844:
845: * Accept perlpod(1) standard preamble.
846: * Also accept (and discard) "de", "dei", "am", "ami", and "ig"
847: roff macro blocks.
848:
849: Changes in version 1.9.16, released on March 22, 2010
850:
851: * Inspired by patches and bug reports by Ingo Schwarze,
852: allowed man(7) to accept non-printing elements to be nested
853: within next-line scopes, such as "br" within "B" or "TH",
854: which is valid roff.
855: * Longsoon architecture also noted and Makefile cleaned up.
856:
857: Changes in version 1.9.15, released on February 18, 2010
858:
859: * Moved to our new BSD.lv home.
860: * XHTML is now an acceptable output mode for mandoc(1);
861: * "Xr" made more compatible with groff;
862: * "Vt" fixed when invoked in SYNOPSIS;
863: * "\\" escape removed;
864: * end-of-line white-space detected for all lines;
865: * subtle bug fixed in list display for some modes;
866: * compatibility layer checked in for compilation in diverse
867: UNIX systems;
868: * and column lengths handled correctly.
