+Changes in version 1.13.3, released on March 13, 2015
+
+    --- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
+ * When a manual is missing from an outdated database, let man(1)
+   show it anyway, using a KISS file system lookup as a fallback.
+ * Use this to always provide man(1), even without database support.
+ * Fatal errors no longer exist.  If a file can be opened, mandoc
+   will produce some output; at worst, the output may be almost empty.
+ * New -Wunsupp message level.
+    --- POTENTIONALLY SECURITY RELEVANT BUGFIXES ---
+ * Fix a potential write buffer overrun on incomplete string conditionals.
+   http://mdocml.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/cvsweb/roff.c#rev1.241
+ * Fix a potential write buffer overrun on backslash at EOF in a conditional.
+   http://mdocml.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/cvsweb/roff.c#rev1.247
+ * Fix a use after free sometimes hit when validation deletes a block.
+   http://mdocml.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/cvsweb/mdoc_macro.c#rev1.180
+    --- MAJOR FUNCTIONALLY RELEVANT BUGFIXES ---
+ * Let man(1) show manuals for the current architecture by default,
+   and support the MACHINE environment variable.
+ * Fix the man(1) and apropos(1) -m option, it didn't work at all.
+ * Do not spawn a pager when there is no output.
+ * In makewhatis(8), fix detection of hardlinked manuals on platforms
+   having padding in struct inodev (typically 64bit platforms).
+    --- PORTABILITY IMPROVEMENTS ---
+ * Ignore O_CLOEXEC when the operating system doesn't provide it.
+ * Avoid forward reference to enum type which violates ISO C99.
+ * Support homebrew-style linking on Mac OS X.
+    --- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
+ * lookup: Accept digit+letter and "n" as section names in man(1),
+   and consistently handle digit+letter in file name extensions.
+ * lookup: Speed up -s/-S by using the "mlinks" rather than the "keys" table.
+ * output: Insert horizontal lines between formatted manual pages.
+ * input: New stricter and more resilient UTF-8 parser.
+ * mdoc(7): Refactor block rewinding for simpler and more robust parsing.
+ * man(7): Use the -Ios option when .TH has less than four arguments.
+ * tbl(7): Implement the "center" option.
+ * tbl(7): New option and format parsers, improved in many respects.
+ * roff(7): Basic implementation of the \o escape sequence (overstrike),
+   and improved rendering of overstrikes in PostScript and PDF output.
+ * Message improvements, in particular for, but not restricted to,
+   eqn(7), tbl(7), and wrong numbers of arguments in mdoc(7) and man(7),
+   in various cases also improving output generated by invalid input.
+ * Delete the -V option.  It serves no purpose but keeps confusing people.
+ * gmdiff: Minimal support for Heirloom roff.
+    --- RELIABILITY BUGFIXES ---
+ * tbl(7): Fix a read buffer overrun on 'f' at EOL in a layout.
+ * roff(7): Fix a read buffer overrun on incomplete numerical conditions.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix a NULL pointer access on .Nd followed by an explicit block.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix a NULL pointer access on .It Xo without .Xc.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix a NULL pointer access on .Eo without a tail.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix a NULL pointer access in the validation of empty .St macros.
+ * man(7)/tbl(7): Fix a NULL pointer access on .TS right after .TP.
+ * tbl(7): Fix a NULL pointer access on layout lines without any cells.
+ * eqn(7): Fix NULL pointer accesses in the terminal formatter.
+ * roff(7): Fix a NULL pointer access on trailing \s-/\s+ without an argument.
+ * gz: Fix a potential NULL pointer access after waitpid() failure.
+ * roff(7): Don't let the modulo operator divide by zero.
+ * input: Fix an assertion failure on certain invalid UTF-8 input.
+ * terminal output: Allow arbitrary depth of the font stack (assertion fix).
+ * mdoc(7): Fix assertion failures and endless loops on invalid block closing.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure on .Bl .Sm not followed by .It.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure on .Bl -column ... .El .Ta.
+ * tbl(7): Fix assertion failures by macros inside table data,
+   but do not throw away the macro arguments.
+ * Prevent certain kinds of unreasonable input from producing excessive
+   output, in one case caused by unsigned integer underflow.
+ * Fix a potential memory leak in makewhatis(8) on very long filenames.
+    --- MINOR BUGFIXES ---
+ * mdoc(7): Fix parsing of badly nested blocks with multiple identical blocks.
+ * mdoc(7): Support negative indentations for displays and lists.
+ * mdoc(7): Don't mistreat negative .sp arguments as large positive ones.
+ * mdoc(7): Some spacing fixes for .Eo/.Ec.
+ * man(7): Support negative horizontal widths.
+ * man(7): Do not print out invalid .IP arguments.
+ * man(7): Correctly handle scaling units after .PD.
+ * man(7): Support .RE with an argument.
+ * man(7): Fix restoring indentation after .RS with large negative arguments.
+ * tbl(7): Prevent tables from breaking the filling of preceding text.
+ * tbl(7): Fix vertical spacing at the beginning of tables.
+ * tbl(7): Parser and formatter fixes for line drawing and font modifiers.
+ * tbl(7): Correct handling of blank data lines.
+ * eqn(7): Add sometimes missing whitespace before equation output.
+ * roff(7): Fix vertical scaling, most of it was wrong.
+ * roff(7): Slightly improve \w width measurements.
+ * roff(7): Accept the historic aliases \s10 to \s39 for \s(10 to \s(39.
+ * roff(7): Correctly escape quotes when expanding macro arguments.
+ * roff(7): Correctly handle scaling units in numerical expressions,
+   and some other improvements to the parsing of numerical expressions.
+ * roff(7): Three minor fixes with respect to evaluation of conditionals.
+ * roff(7): Let .it accept numerical expressions, not just constants.
+ * mandoc_char(7): Correct some character names and renderings.
+ * If earlier files set a non-zero exit status, never reset it to zero.
+    --- THANKS TO ---
+ * Jonathan Gray (OpenBSD) for yet more testing with afl (the American
+   Fuzzy Lop security fuzzer), again resulting in many bug reports.

+   system lookup) and for reporting an important bug (pager without output).
