+ 19-05-2011: version 1.11.3 +
++ Introduce locale-encoding of output with the -Tlocale output option and Unicode escaped-character input. + See mandoc and mandoc_char, respectively, for details. + This allows for non-ASCII characters (e.g., \[u5000]) to be rendered in the locale's encoding, if said + environment supports wide-character encoding (if it does not, -Tascii is used instead). + Locale support can be turned off at compile time by removing -DUSE_WCHAR in the Makefile, in which case + -Tlocale is always a synonym for -Tascii. +
++ Furthermore, multibyte-encoded documents, such as those in UTF-8, may be on-the-fly recoded as mandoc input by using the newly-added preconv utility. +
+ ++ 12-05-2011: version 1.11.2 +
++ Corrected some installation issues in version 1.11.1. + Further migration to libmandoc. + Initial public release (this utility is very much under development) of makewhatis, + initially named mandoc-db. + This utility produces keyword databases of manual content + mandoc-cgi, which features semantic querying of manual content. +
+ ++ 04-04-2011: version 1.11.1 +
++ The earlier libroff, libmdoc, and libman soup have been merged into + a single library, libmandoc, which manages all aspects of + parsing real manuals (from line-handling to tbl parsing). +
++ Beyond this structural change, initial eqn functionality is in + place. For the time being, this is limited to the recognition of equation blocks; + future version of mdocml will expand upon this framework. +
++ 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. +
+ ++ See cvsweb for + historical notes. +
