This file lists the most important changes in the mdocml.bsd.lv distribution.
+Changes in version 1.13.1, released on August 10, 2014
+
+ --- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
+ * A complete apropos(1)/makewhatis(8)/man.cgi(8) suite
+ based on SQLite3 is now included.
+ * The roff(7) parser now provides an almost complete implementation
+ of numerical expressions.
+ * Warning and error messages have been improved in many ways.
+ Almost all fatal errors were downgraded to normal errors and some
+ even to warnings. Almost all messages now mention the macro where
+ the issue is detected and many indicate the workaround employed.
+ The mandoc(1) manual now includes a list explaining all messages.
+ --- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
+ * The roff(7) parser now supports the .ami (append to macro with
+ indirectly specified name), .as (append to user-defined
+ string), .dei (define macro with indirectly specified name),
+ .ll (line length), and .rr (remove register) requests.
+ * The roff(7) parser now supports string comparison and numerical
+ conditionals in the .if and .ie requests.
+ * The roff parser now fully supports the \B (validate numerical
+ expression) and partially supports the \w (measure text width)
+ escape sequences.
+ * The terminal formatter now supports the \: (optional line break)
+ escape sequence.
+ * The roff parser now supports expansion of user-defined strings
+ involving indirect references.
+ * The roff(7) parser now handles some pre-defined read-only
+ number registers that occur in the pod2man(1) preamble.
+ * For backward compatibility, the mdoc(7) parser and formatters
+ now support the obsolete macros .En, .Es, .Fr, and .Ot.
+ * The mdoc(7) formatter non partially supports .Bd -centered.
+ * tbl(7) now handles leading and trailing vertical lines.
+ * The build system now provides fallback versions of strcasestr(3)
+ and strsep(3) for systems lacking them.
+ * The mdoc(7) manual now explains how various standards
+ supported by the .St macro are related to each other.
+ --- BUGFIXES ---
+ * In the roff(7) parser, several bugs were fixed with respect
+ to closing conditional blocks on macro lines.
+ * Parsing of roff(7) identifiers and escape sequences was improved
+ in multiple respects.
+ * In the mdoc(7) parser, the handling of defective document
+ prologues was improved in multiple ways.
+ * The mdoc(7) parser no longer skips content before the first section
+ header, and it no longer deletes non-.% content from .Rs blocks.
+ * In the mdoc(7) parser, a crash was fixed related to weird .Sh headers.
+ * In the mdoc(7) parser, handling of .Sm with missing or invalid
+ arguments was corrected.
+ * In the mdoc(7) parser, trailing punctuation at the end of partial
+ implicit macros no longer triggers end-of-sentence spacing.
+ * In the terminal formatter, two crashes were fixed: one triggered by
+ excessive indentation and another by excessively long .Nm arguments.
+ * In the terminal formatter, a floating point rounding bug was
+ fixed that sometimes caused an off-by-one error in indentation.
+ * In the UTF-8 formatter, rendering of accents, breakable hyphens,
+ and non-breakable spaces was corrected.
+ * In the HTML formatter, encoding of special characters was
+ corrected in multiple respects.
+ * In the mdoc(7) formatter, rendering of .Ex and .Rv was
+ improved for various edge cases.
+ * In the mdoc(7) formatter, handling of empty .Bl -inset item
+ heads was improved.
+ * In the man(7) formatter, some bugs were fixed with respect
+ to same-line detection in the context of .TP and .nf macros,
+ and the indentation of .IP and .TP blocks was improved.
+ * The mandoc(3) library no longer prints to stderr.
