- been considerably simplified compared to groff's method. Furthermore, 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>). Lastly, initial
- PostScript output has been added with the <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Tps</SPAN> option to <A

- no font decorations.

- Release consisting of the results from the m2k10 hackathon and up-merge from OpenBSD.

+ 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

+ Corrected some installation issues in version 1.11.1.
+ Further migration to <A HREF="mandoc.3.html">libmandoc</A>.
+ Initial public release (this utility is very much under development) of <A HREF="makewhatis.1.html">makewhatis</A>,
+ initially named mandoc-db.
+ This utility produces keyword databases of manual content
+ <A HREF="http://mdocml.bsd.lv/mandoc-cgi/index.html">mandoc-cgi</A>, which features semantic querying of manual content.

+ The earlier <I>libroff</I>, <I>libmdoc</I>, and <I>libman</I> soup have been merged into
+ a single library, <A HREF="mandoc.3.html">libmandoc</A>, which manages all aspects of

+ </P>

+ Beyond this structural change, initial <A HREF="eqn.7.html">eqn</A> functionality is in

+ future version of <SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> will expand upon this framework.
+ </P>
+ <P>
+ As usual, many general fixes and improvements have also occurred. In particular, a great
+ deal of redundancy and superfluous code has been removed with the merging of the backend
+ libraries.
