- This primarily focusses on the <Q>Bl</Q> and <Q>It</Q> macros described in <A
- HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A>. Multi-line column support is now fully compatible with
- 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. Lastly, 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>).

- 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:

- version 1.9.25

- Fixed handling of <Q>\*(Ba</Q> escape. Backed out <SPAN
- CLASS="flag">-fno-ign-chars</SPAN> (pointless complexity). Fixed erroneous
- breaking of literal lines. Fixed SYNOPSIS breaking lines before non-initial
- macros. Changed default section ordering. Most importantly, the framework for
- end-of-sentence double-spacing is in place, now implemented for the
- <Q>end-of-sentence, end-of-line</Q> rule. This is a stable roll-back point
- before the mandoc hackathon in Rostock!

- Rolled back break-at-hyphen. <SPAN CLASS="flag">-DUGLY</SPAN> is now the
- default (no feature splits!). Free-form text is not de-chunked any more: lines
- are passed whole-sale into the front-end, including whitespace. Added mailing
- lists. Lastly, <SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> is the focus of two <A
