- The earlier <I>libroff</I>, <I>libmdoc</I>, and <I>libman</I> soup have been merged into

- future version of <SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> will expand upon this framework.
+ Introduce locale-encoding of output with the <B>-Tlocale</B> output option and Unicode escaped-character input.
+ See <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> and <A HREF="mandoc_char.7.html">mandoc_char</A>, respectively, for details.
+ This allows for non-ASCII characters (e.g., <I>\[u5000]</I>) to be rendered in the locale's encoding, if said
+ environment supports wide-character encoding (if it does not, <B>-Tascii</B> is used instead).
+ Locale support can be turned off at compile time by removing <I>-DUSE_WCHAR</I> in the <I>Makefile</I>, in which case
+ <B>-Tlocale</B> is always a synonym for <B>-Tascii</B>.
</P>
<P>
- 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.
+ Furthermore, multibyte-encoded documents, such as those in UTF-8, may be on-the-fly recoded as <A
+ HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> input by using the newly-added <A HREF="preconv.1.html">preconv</A> utility.

+ Corrected some installation issues in version 1.11.1.
