-- 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. + 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.
- 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. + 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.

- Initial tbl functionality (see the TS
, TE
, and
- T&
macros in the roff manual) has been
- merged from tbl.bsd.lv. Output is
- still minimal, especially for -Thtml and -Txhtml, but manages to at least display data. This means that mandoc now has built-in support for two troff preprocessors via
- libroff: soelim and tbl.
+ 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.
