This file lists the most important changes in the mdocml.bsd.lv distribution.
+Changes in version 1.14.1, released on XXX, 2017
+
+ --- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
+ * apropos(1): Reimplement complete semantic search functionality
+ without the dependency on SQLite3, using only POSIX APIs.
+ This comes with a completely new mandoc.db(5) file format.
+ * man(1): Support more than one tag entry for the same search term,
+ plus some minor improvements to the less(1) :t support.
+ * -Thtml: Use real macro names for CSS classes.
+ Systematic cleanup of and many improvements to mandoc.css.
+ * -Thtml: Produce human readable HTML code by using indentation
+ and better line breaks. Improve various HTML elements,
+ and trim several useless ones.
+ * New catman(8) utility, still somewhat experimental.
+ --- REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY ---
+ * Operating systems that don't provide mmap(3) are no longer supported.
+ * Drop support for manpath(1). Even if your system has manpath(1),
+ it is simpler to use MANPATH_DEFAULT in configure.local for
+ operating system defaults, man.conf(5) for machine-specific
+ modifications, and ${MANPATH}, -m, and -M for user preferences
+ than to bother with the complexity of manpath(1).
+ * makewhatis(8) -p: No longer warn about missing MLINKS since these
+ are no longer needed for anything.
+ --- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
+ * mdoc(7): Warn about invalid punctuation and content below NAME.
+ * mdoc(7): Warn about .Xr lacking the second argument (section).
+ * mdoc(7): Warn about violations of the rule "new sentence, new line".
+ * roff(7): Warn about trailing whitespace at the end of comments.
+ * mdoc(7): Always do text production in the validator, never in the
+ formatters. Cleaner, simpler, shorter, helps NetBSD apropos(1)
+ and also makes -Ttree output more useful.
+ * mdoc(7), man(7): Show metadata in -Ttree output.
+ --- RELIABILITY BUGFIXES ---
+ * man(1): Make "man -l" work with standard input from a pipe or file,
+ as long as standard output is a terminal.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix out of bounds read access for .Bl without a type
+ but with a width.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix out of bounds read access for .Bl -column starting
+ with a tab character instead of a child .It macro.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to segfaults caused
+ by stray block end macros in nested blocks of mismatching type.
+ * man(1): Fix NULL dereference when the first of multiple pages
+ shown was preformatted.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to NULL dereference
+ for macro sequences like .Bl .Bl .It Bo .El .It.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix syntax tree corruption leading to NULL dereference
+ caused by .Ta following a nested .Bl -column breaking another block.
+ * mdoc(7) -Thtml: Fix a NULL dereference for .Bl -column with 0 columns.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix NULL dereference if the only child of the head
+ of the first .Sh was an empty in-line macro.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure for a .Bd without a type that
+ breaks another block.
+ * mdoc(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by .Bl -column without .It
+ but containing eqn(7) or tbl(7) code.
+ * roff(7): Fix an assertion failure caused by \z\[u00FF] with -Tps/-Tpdf.
+ * roff(7): Fix an assertion failures caused by whitespace inside \o''
+ (overstrike) sequences.
+ * -Thtml: Fix an assertion failure caused by -Oman or -Oincludes of
+ excessive length.
+ --- PORTABILITY IMPROVEMENTS ---
+ * man(1): Do not mix stdio narrow and wide stream orientation
+ on stdout, which could cause output corruption on glibc.
+ * mandoc(1): Autodetect a suitable locale for -Tutf8 mode.
+ * Autodetect whether PATH_MAX is defined.
+ * Autodetect if nanosleep(3) needs -lrt.
+ * Put compiler arguments that may contain -l at the end.
+ --- MINOR BUGFIXES ---
+ * mdoc(7): Fix SYNOPSIS output if the first child of .Nm is a macro.
+ * mdoc(7) -Thtml: Improve formatting of .Bl -tag with short tags.
+ * man(7) -Thtml: Preserve whitespace in .nf (nofill) mode.
+ * mandoc(1): Error out on invalid output options on the command line.
+ --- STRUCTURAL CHANGES, no functional change ---
+ * Redesign part of the mandoc_html(3) interfaces, making them much
+ easier to use and reducing the amount of code by a few hundred lines.
+ --- THANKS TO ---
+ * Michael Stapelberg (Debian) for designing the new mandocd(8)
+ and parts of the new catman(8), and for a number of patches
+ and bug reports.
+ * Baptiste Daroussin (FreeBSD) for profiling the new makewhatis(8)
+ implementation and suggesting an algorithmic improvement which
+ more than doubled performance, and for a few bug reports.
+ * Ed Maste (FreeBSD) for an important patch improving reproducibility
+ of builds in makewhatis(8), and for a few bug reports.
+ * Theo Buehler (OpenBSD) for more than ten important bug reports,
+ most of them found by systematic afl(1) fuzzing.
+ * Benny Lofgren, David Dahlberg, and in particular Vadim Zhukov
+ for crucial help in getting .Bl -tag CSS formatting fixed.
+ * Svyatoslav Mishyn (Crux Linux) for an initial version of the
+ patch to autodetect a suitable locale for -Tutf8 mode.
+ * Jason McIntyre (OpenBSD) for multiple useful discussions
+ and a number of bug reports.
+ * Alexander Bluhm, Andrew Fresh, Antoine Jacoutot, Antony Bentley,
+ Christian Weisgerber, Jonathan Gray, Marc Espie, Martijn van Duren,
+ Stuart Henderson, Ted Unangst, Theo de Raadt (OpenBSD), Abhinav
+ Upadhyay, Christos Zoulas, Kamil Rytarowski, Sevan Janiyan,
+ Thomas Klausner (NetBSD), Aaron M. Ucko, Bdale Garbee, Reiner
+ Herrmann, Shane Kerr (Debian), Christian Neukirchen (Void Linux),
+ Daniel Sabogal (Alpine Linux), Yuri Pankov (illumos),
+ Carsten Kunze (Heirloom roff), Kristaps Dzonsons (bsd.lv),
+ Anton Lindqvist, Jan Stary, Jeremy A. Mates, Mark Patruck,
+ Pavan Maddamsetti, Sean Levy <attila@stalphonsos.com>, and
+ Tiago Silva for bug reports.
+ * Brent Cook, Marc Espie, Philip Guenther, Todd Miller (OpenBSD)
+ and Markus Waldeck for useful discussions.
+ * And as usual, OpenCSW for providing me with a Solaris 9/10/11
+ testing environment.
