- xx-xx-2011: version 1.12.1 -

-

- Significant work on apropos and mandocdb. These tools are - now much more robust and in line with other manpage systems. A whatis implementation is now - handled as an apropos mode. These tools are also able to minimally handle pre-formatted - pages, that is, those already formatted by another utility such as GNU troff. -

-

- The man.cgi script is also now available for wider testing. It interfaces with mandocdb manuals cached by catman. HTML output is generated - on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal methods to convert pre-formatted pages. -

-

- 08-10-2011: version 1.12.0 -

-

- This version features a new, work-in-progress mandoc output mode: -Tman. This mode - allows a system maintainer to distribute man media for older systems that may not natively - support mdoc, such as old Solaris systems. - The -Ofragment option was added to mandoc's -Thtml and -Txhtml modes. -

-

- While adding features, an apropos utility has been merged from the mandoc-tools sandbox. - This interfaces with mandocdb for semantic search of manual content. apropos is different from the traditional apropos primarily in allowing keyword search - (such as for functions, utilities, etc.) and regular expressions. - Note that the calling syntax for apropos is likely to change as it settles down. + xx-xx-2012: version 1.12.4

- In documentation news, the mdoc and man manuals have been made - considerably more readable by adding MACRO OVERVIEW sections, by moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE - SYNTAX to the roff manual, and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections - down to the bottom of the page. + Ingo, can you summarise your changes here?

- Furthermore, for tbl, the -Tascii mode horizontal spacing of tables was rewritten - completely. It is now compatible with groff, both - with and without frames and rulers. Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in man, and - several bugs were fixed regarding indentation and alignment. The page headers in mdoc are now - nicer for very long titles. + The mandocdb tools (mandocdb, apropos (absorbing whatis), and man.cgi) have been re-written to + use sqlite3 as a database.
