- Added demandoc utility for stripping away macros and escapes. This replaces the - historical deroff utility. Also improved the mdoc and man manuals. -

-

- Handling of tr macro in roff implemented. This makes Perl documentation much more - readable. Hyphenation is also now enabled in man format documents. Many other general - improvements have been implemented. Furthermore, a 64-bit Windows binary is now available at mdocml-win64.zip and a Mac OS X universal binary is available at mdocml-macosx.zip. -

- Significant eqn improvements. mdocml can now parse arbitrary eqn input - (although few GNU extensions are accepted, nor is mixing low-level roff with eqn). See the eqn - manual for details. For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text. The equation parser satisfies - the language specified in the Second - Edition User's Guide. -

- This is also the first release featuring a distributed Windows binary, available at /binaries/mdocml-win32.zip. -
