- For <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl</A>, the 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 <A HREF="man.7.html">man</A>,
- and several bugs were fixed regarding various kinds of indentation and alignment.
- The page headers in <A HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A> are now nicer even for very long titles.
- Implementation of a mdoc-to-man-coverter (-Tman) was started.
- This is work in progress and will be developed in the tree.
- The <A HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A> and <A HREF="man.7.html">man</A> manuals have been made more readable
- by adding MACRO OVERVIEW sections, by moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE SYNTAX to the <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> manual,
- and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections down to the bottom of the page.
+ This version features a new, work-in-progress output mode: -<B>Tman</B>. This mode allows a system maintainer to
+ distribute <A HREF="man.7.html">man</A> media for older systems that may not natively support <A
+ HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A>, such as old Solaris systems.
