+ in addition to the already supported "man<full-section>/name.[01-9]*"
+ * if messages are shown and output is printed without a pager, display
+ a heads-up on stderr at the end because otherwise, users may easily

+ --- PORTABILITY IMPROVEMENTS ---
+ * rename HOMEBREWDIR to READ_ALLOWED_PATH, allow it to contain more than
+ one directory, and explain how to use that for NixOS and GNU Guix Linux

+ * in the regression suite, avoid file names that differ only by case
+ --- MINOR FUNCTIONAL IMPROVEMENTS ---
+ * man(1) -h: for pages lacking a SYNOPSIS, show the NAME section

+ * mdoc(7): convert ".Fl Fl" to ".Fl \-" during validation, improving -T html
+ * mdoc(7): improve output of .At 32v
+ * man(7): no longer print multiple blank lines before NAME and page footer
+ * tbl(7) -T utf8: improved rendering of horizontal lines
+ * tbl(7) -T html: in "n" cells, align by padding numbers on the right
+ * tbl(7): no longer leak tabulator settings to subsequent roff(7) code
+ * mdoc(7) -T html: for .Bl -tag, use "column-count: 1" rather
+ than "overflow: auto" to avoid the ugly side effects
+ * mdoc(7) -T html: render .Bd -unfilled in proportionally-spaced font
+ * mdoc(7) -T html: format .Nd with <span> rather than <div>
+ * mdoc(7) -T lint: do not warn about Mdocdate without an actual date

+ * man(1): correctly extract the section name from the file name extension
+ of gzipped manual page files
+ * makewhatis(8): fix file type tests putting wrong data into mandoc.db(5)

+Changes in version 1.14.4, released on August 8, 2018
+
+ --- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
+ * In ASCII output, render mathematical symbols and greek letters
+ as transliterations conveying the characters' meanings rather
+ than trying to imitate their shape. Consequently, such characters
+ can now be used in portable manual pages. All the same, please
+ limit their use to contexts where they really matter, for example
+ when showing complicated mathematical formulae.
+ * First steps towards better support for small screens in HTML
+ output (responsive design): avoid most style= attributes, in
+ particular all hard-coded indentations and column widths, and
+ provide a better mandoc.css style sheet with a @media query,
+ using em units throughout, and avoiding redundancy in selectors.
+ * Better HTML output with some more fitting HTML elements, eliminating
+ needless class= attributes, and avoiding various HTML syntax errors
+ (element nesting, URL-fragment syntax, duplicate id= attributes).
+ --- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
+ * When a man(1) argument contains a slash, imply -l like in man-db.
+ * Use TIOCGWINSZ to reduce the default -Owidth and -Oindent during
+ interactive use on terminals narrower than 79 columns.
+ * Generated PostScript files are now more than 50% smaller.
+ * Terminal rendering of eqn(7) is improved in several respects.
+ * Simplified and nicer output from the mdoc(7) .Lk macro, formatting
+ all links in-line, even long ones.
+ * roff(7) \n+ and \n- numerical register auto-increment and -decrement
+ * roff(7) .nr optional third argument (auto-increment step size)
+ * Autodetect in ./configure whether the compiler can use -W and -static,
+ allowing to build on Solaris 10 and 11 without any configure.local.
+ --- RELIABILITY BUGFIXES ---
+ * Only activate UTF-8 output when the user really selected UTF-8,
+ not some other multibyte character encoding.
+ * Prevent excessive .ll arguments from generating infinite output.
+ * Fix out of bounds accesses to parse buffers that could happen when
+ using renamed or user defined macros after roff(7) conditionals.
+ * Avoid an assertion failure in certain .Bl -column lists.
+ * Avoid a NULL pointer access on deroff() failure after '.SS ""'.
+ * Fix a segfault that could be triggered by two invalid .Dt macros.
+ * Fix two syntax errors in generated PDF files.
+ * Properly state the page size in generated PostScript files.
+ * Close a memory leak caused by missing gzclose(3).
+ * Fix misformatting of man(7) documents lacking .SH macros
+ in PostScript and PDF output.
+ * And many minor bugfixes.
+ --- THANKS TO ---
+ * Marc Espie (OpenBSD) for implementing the size reduction of
+ PostScript files, one additional patch for code simplification,
+ and two bug reports.
+ * Theo Buehler (OpenBSD) for a bugfix patch,
+ and Theo de Raadt (OpenBSD) for checking it.
+ * John Gardner for more than a dozen suggestions regarding HTML output.
+ * Mike Williams for teaching me how to use %%DocumentMedia and
+ setpagedevice in PostScript files.
+ * Werner Lemberg (groff) for feedback on mdoc(7) language changes.
+ * Colin Watson (man-db) for feedback on man-db semantics.
+ * Jason McIntyre (OpenBSD) for lots of feedback and suggestions
+ on diagnostic messages and on the documentation.

+ * Anthony Bentley (OpenBSD) for reporting multiple bugs and missing
+ features.
+ * Paul Irofti (OpenBSD) and Nate Bargmann for suggesting new features.
+ * Michael Stapelberg (Debian) for bug reports and release testing.
+ * Christian Weisgerber, Jonathan Gray, Stuart Henderson,
+ Ted Unangst (OpenBSD), Takeshi Nakayama (NetBSD),
+ Anton Lazarov, Jakub Klinkovsky, Jan Stary, Jesper Wallin,
+ Will Backmam, and Wolfgang Mueller for bug reports.
+ * Sevan Janiyan (NetBSD) for additions to lib.in.
+ * George Brown for suggesting code simplifications.
+ * David Coppa, Igor Sobrado (OpenBSD), and Alexander Kuleshov
+ for documentation improvements.
+ * Laura Morales and Raf Czlonka for questions resulting in better
+ documentation.

+
+Changes in version 1.14.3, released on August 5, 2017
+
+ --- BUG FIXES ---
+ * man(7): Do not crash with out-of-bounds read access to a constant
+ array if .sp or a blank line immediately precedes .SS or .SH.
+ * mdoc(7): Do not crash with out-of-bounds read access to a constant
+ array if .sp or a blank line precede the first .Sh macro.
+ * tbl(7): Ignore explicitly specified negative column widths rather than
+ wrapping around to huge numbers and risking memory exhaustion.
+ * man(1): No longer use names that only occur in the SYNOPSIS section.

+ --- THANKS TO ---
+ Leah Neukirchen (Void Linux), Markus Waldeck (Debian),
+ Peter Bui (nd.edu), and Yuri Pankov (illumos) for bug reports.
+
+Changes in version 1.14.2, released on July 28, 2017
+
+ --- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
+ * New mdoc(7) -Tmarkdown output mode.
+ * For -Thtml, implement internal hyperlinks pointing to authoritative
+ definitions of various syntax elements, similar to the ctags(1)-like
+ less(1) :t internal searching in terminal mode.
+ * Provide a superset of the functionality of the former mdoclint(1)
+ utility and a new -Wstyle message level with several new messages,
+ including validity checking of .Xr cross references.
+ * tbl(7): Implement automatic line breaking inside individual table
+ cells, and several other formatting improvements.
+ * eqn(7): Complete rewrite of the lexer, resulting in several bugfixes.
+ * Continue parser unification, in particular allowing generation
+ of syntax tree nodes on the roff(7) level, allowing implementation
+ of many additional roff requests.
+ --- REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY ---
+ * Delete the manpage(1) utility. It was never enabled in any release.
+ * Delete the -Txhtml command line option. It has been an obsolete
+ alias for the -Thtml output mode for more than two years.

+ * eqn(7): Much improved font selection, including recognition of
+ well-known function names, and a few other formatting improvements.
+ * eqn(7) -Thtml: Use <mn> and <mo> in addition to <mi>.
+ * roff(7): Implement the .ce (centering), .mc (margin character),
+ .rj (right justify), .ta (define tab stops), .ti (temporary indent),
+ .als (macro alias), .ec and .eo (escape character control),
+ .po (page offset), and .rn (macro rename) requests.
+ * roff(7) .am: Implement appending to mdoc(7) and man(7) macros.
+ * roff(7): implement the \h (horizontol motion), \l (horizontal
+ line drawing), and \p (break output line) escape sequences,
+ and also several additional character escape sequences.
+ * roff(7): Implement the 'd' conditional (macro or string defined).
+ * man.cgi(8) now uses pledge(2), too.
+ * regress.pl(1): simpler user interface, better summary output,
+ simpler code, and no more recursion.

for macro sequences like .Bl .Bl .It Bo .El .It.
* mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to NULL dereference
caused by .Ta following a nested .Bl -column breaking another block.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption sometimes leading to NULL
+ dereference caused by indirectly broken .Nd or .Nm blocks.

of the first .Sh was an empty in-line macro.
+ * eqn(7): Fix NULL dereference in the terminal formatter
+ for empty matrices and empty square roots.
