RELEVANT BUGFIXES --- + * mdoc(7): Fix multiple aspects of SYNOPSIS .Nm formatting. + * man(1): Fix process group handling, avoiding unclean shutdowns. + --- PORTABILITY IMPROVEMENTS --- + * Correctly use the ohash(3) compatibility implementation + even when building without SQLite support. + * Add compat glue for building on Solaris 9 and 10. + * Let ./configure select a supported RE syntax for word boundaries. + * Avoid reusing va_lists, use va_copy(3) for better portability. + * Do not hardcode the path to the more(1) program. + --- MINOR NEW FEATURES --- + * roff(7): Implement \n(.$ (number of macro arguments). + * roff(7): Fully implement \z (do not advance cursor). + * roff(7): Implement the `r' conditional (register exists). + * roff(7): Implement \\$* (interpolate all arguments). + * roff(7): Parse and ignore \, and \/ (italic corrections). + * When there is no -m, no -M, no MANPATH and no /etc/man.conf, + fall back to /usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man. + * man(1): Give manuals in purely numerical sections priority over + manuals of the same name in sections with an alphabetical suffix. + * man.cgi(8): Support "header.html" and "footer.html". + * man.cgi(8): Set the "autofocus" attribute on the query text box. + * man.cgi(8): Simplify the search form, drop two useless buttons. + --- RELIABILITY BUGFIXES --- + * mdoc(7): Avoid a use after free and an assertion failure when nodes + are deleted during validation. + * mdoc(7): Avoid a NULL pointer access when .Bd has no arguments. + * mdoc(7): Avoid a NULL pointer access triggered by mismatching end macros. + * mdoc(7): Avoid an assertion when .Fo has no argument. + * mdoc(7): Avoid an assertion when .Ta<tab> occurs in .Bl -column. + * mdoc(7): Avoid an assertion when a body gets broken and has a tail. + * roff(7): Avoid an assertion caused by blanks inside \o. + * tbl(7): Avoid a use after free when the last line of a layout is empty. + * eqn(7): Avoid an infinite loop caused by recursive "define". + * makewhatis(8): Avoid a segfault caused by unusual directory structures. + * Fix handling of leading, trailing, and double colons in MANPATH and -m. + --- MINOR BUGFIXES --- + * mdoc(7): Put arguments to end macros of broken partial explicit blocks + inside the breaking block. + * mdoc(7): Let .Dv force normal font. + * mdoc(7): Make trailing whitespace significant in .Bl -tag widths. + * mdoc(7): Fix macro interpretation around tabs in .Bl -column. + * man(7): Use the default width for .RS without arguments. + * man(7): On a new RS nesting level, the saved width starts from + the default width, not from the saved width of the previous level. + * man(7): Allow .PD in next-line scope. + * man(7): Improve handling of empty .HP. + * man(7): Improve formatting of .br and .sp inside .HP. + * man(7): Do not mistreat empty arguments to font alternating + macros as vertical spacing requests. + * man(7): Allow fill mode changes in tagged paragraph next-line scope.

indentation. + * man(7): Make trailing whitespace significant in .TP widths. + * roff(7): Don't allow breaking the output line after hyphens + that immediately follow escape sequences. + * roff(7): Ignore blank characters at the beginning of conditional blocks. + * roff(7): Escape breakable hyphens only after handling input line traps. + * roff(7): Reject \[uD800] to \[uDFFF] (surrogates) in the parser. + * tbl(7): Allow more than one data field after T} on the same input line. + * terminal output: Apply bold and italic to non-ASCII Unicode codepoints. + * terminal output: Improve rounding rules for horizontal scaling widths. + * HTML output: Render ASCII_NBRSP as " ", not "-". + * man(1): Do not match the first part of a name if it continues with a dot. + * man(1): Keep working even if the current directory is unusable. + * man(1): Handle SIGPIPE to avoid ugly "Broken pipe" messages. + * man(1): Better error message when $PAGER is invalid. + * makewhatis(8): Improve handling of .Va and .Vt macros. + * apropos(1): Print "nothing appropriate" to stderr when appropriate. + * apropos(1): Abort with a useful error message when elementary + database operations like preparing queries

library in roff.c. + * mdoc(7) and man(7): Seperate validation phase from parsing. + * Replace all hand-rolled hash tables with ohash(3). + * Link with libz rather than forking gunzip(1). + --- THANKS
