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. + Changes in version 1.13.4, released on July 14, 2016 --- MAJOR NEW FEATURES --- |
