+ 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>
+ Furthermore, multibyte-encoded documents, such as those in UTF-8, may be on-the-fly recoded as <A

+ Initial public release (this utility is very much under development) of <A HREF="makewhatis.1.html">makewhatis</A>,
+ initially named mandoc-db.

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