-			Initial <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl</A> functionality (see the <Q>TS</Q>, <Q>TE</Q>, and
-			<Q>T&amp;</Q> macros in the <A HREF="roff.7.html#x5c265453">roff</A> manual) has been
-			merged from <A CLASS="external" HREF="http://tbl.bsd.lv">tbl.bsd.lv</A>.  Output is
-			still minimal, especially for <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Thtml</SPAN> and <SPAN
-			CLASS="flag">-Txhtml</SPAN>, but manages to at least display data.  This means that <A
-			HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> now has built-in support for two troff preprocessors via
-			<DEL>libroff</DEL>: soelim and tbl.
+			The <A HREF="man.7.html">man(7)</A> parser now handles closing blocks that are not open
+			more gracefully.
+		</P>
+		<P>
+			The <A HREF="man.7.html">man(7)</A> parser now ignores blank lines right after .SH and .SS.
+		</P>
+		<P>
+			In the <A HREF="man.7.html">man(7)</A> formatter, reset indentation when leaving a block,
+			not just when entering the next one.
+		</P>
+		<P>
+			The <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff(7)</A> .nr request now supports incrementing and decrementing
+			number registers and stops parsing the number right before the first non-digit character.
+		</P>
+		<P>
+			The <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff(7)</A> parser now supports the alternative escape sequence
+			syntax \C'uXXXX' for Unicode characters.
+		</P>
+		<P>
+			The <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff(7)</A> parser now parses and ignores the .fam (font family) 
+			and .hw (hyphenation points) requests and the \d and \u escape sequences.                  
+		</P>
+		<P>
+			The <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff(7)</A> manual got a new ESCAPE SEQUENCE REFERENCE.

 		</P>
-		<UL>
-			<LI>many new <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> components,</LI>
-			<LI>in-line implementation of troff's soelim,</LI>
-			<LI>broken-block handling,</LI>
-			<LI>overhauled error classifications, and</LI>
-			<LI>cleaned up handling of error conditions.</LI>
-		</UL>
 		<P>
-			Also overhauled the <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Thtml</SPAN> and <SPAN
-			CLASS="flag">-Txhtml</SPAN> output modes.  They now display readable output in arbitrary
-			browsers, including text-based ones like <A CLASS="external"
-			HREF="http://lynx.isc.org">lynx</A>.  See HTML and XHTML manuals in the <A
-			HREF="#documentation">DOCUMENTATION</A> section for examples.  <SPAN
-			CLASS="attn">Attention: available style-sheet classes have been considerably
-			changed!</SPAN> See the <SPAN CLASS="file">example.style.css</SPAN> file for details.
-			Lastly, <DEL>libmdoc</DEL> and <DEL>libman</DEL> have been
-			cleaned up and reduced in size and complexity.
+			The <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc(1)</A> utility now supports the <CODE>-Ios</CODE> (default operating system)
+			input option, and the <CODE>-Tutf8</CODE> output mode now actually works.

 		<P>
-			See <A HREF="http://mdocml.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/cvsweb/index.sgml?cvsroot=mdocml">cvsweb</A> for

+			The <A HREF="mandocdb.8.html">mandocdb(8)</A> utility no longer truncates existing databases when starting to build new ones,
+			but only replaces them when the build actually succeeds.
 		</P>
-
+		<P>
+			The <A HREF="man.7.html">man(7)</A> parser now supports the <EM>PD</EM> macro (paragraph distance),
+			and (for GNU man-ext compatibility only) <EM>EX</EM> (example block) and <EM>EE</EM> (example end).
+			Plus several bugfixes regarding indentation, line breaks, and vertical spacing,
+			and regarding <EM>RS</EM> following <EM>TP</EM>.
+		</P>
+		<P>
+			The <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff(7)</A> parser now supports the <EM>\f(BI</EM> (bold+italic) font escape,
+			the <EM>\z</EM> (zero cursor advance) escape and the <EM>cc</EM> (change control character)
+			and <EM>it</EM> (input line trap) requests.
+			Plus bugfixes regarding the <EM>\t</EM> (tab) escape, nested escape sequences, and conditional requests.
+		</P>
+		<P>
+			In <A HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc(7)</A>, several bugs were fixed related to UTF-8 output of quoting enclosures,
+			delimiter handling, list indentation and horizontal and vertical spacing,
+			formatting of the <EM>Lk</EM>, <EM>%U</EM>, and <EM>%C</EM> macros,
+			plus some bugfixes related to the handling of syntax errors like badly nested font blocks,
+			stray <EM>Ta</EM> macros outside column lists, unterminated <EM>It Xo</EM> blocks,
+			and non-text children of <EM>Nm</EM> blocks.
+		</P>
+		<P>
+			In <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl(7)</A>, the width of horizontal spans and the vertical spacing around tables was corrected,
+			and in <A HREF="man.7.html">man(7)</A> files, a crash was fixed that was triggered by some particular unclosed <EM>T{</EM> macros.
+		</P>
+		<P>
+			For mandoc developers, we now provide a <A HREF="tbl.3.html">tbl(3)</A> library manual and <CODE>gmdiff</CODE>,
+			a very small, very simplistic groff-versus-mandoc output comparison tool.
