Import 1.14.4

This file lists the most important changes in the mandoc.bsd.lv distribution.

Changes in version 1.14.4, released on August 8, 2018

--- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
* In ASCII output, render mathematical symbols and greek letters
as transliterations conveying the characters' meanings rather
than trying to imitate their shape. Consequently, such characters
can now be used in portable manual pages. All the same, please
limit their use to contexts where they really matter, for example
when showing complicated mathematical formulae.
* First steps towards better support for small screens in HTML
output (responsive design): avoid most style= attributes, in
particular all hard-coded indentations and column widths, and
provide a better mandoc.css style sheet with a @media query,
using em units throughout, and avoiding redundancy in selectors.
* Better HTML output with some more fitting HTML elements, eliminating
needless class= attributes, and avoiding various HTML syntax errors
(element nesting, URL-fragment syntax, duplicate id= attributes).
--- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
* When a man(1) argument contains a slash, imply -l like in man-db.
* Use TIOCGWINSZ to reduce the default -Owidth and -Oindent during
interactive use on terminals narrower than 79 columns.
* Generated PostScript files are now more than 50% smaller.
* Terminal rendering of eqn(7) is improved in several respects.
* Simplified and nicer output from the mdoc(7) .Lk macro, formatting
all links in-line, even long ones.
* roff(7) \n+ and \n- numerical register auto-increment and -decrement
* roff(7) .nr optional third argument (auto-increment step size)
* Autodetect in ./configure whether the compiler can use -W and -static,
allowing to build on Solaris 10 and 11 without any configure.local.
--- RELIABILITY BUGFIXES ---
* Only activate UTF-8 output when the user really selected UTF-8,
not some other multibyte character encoding.
* Prevent excessive .ll arguments from generating infinite output.
* Fix out of bounds accesses to parse buffers that could happen when
using renamed or user defined macros after roff(7) conditionals.
* Avoid an assertion failure in certain .Bl -column lists.
* Avoid a NULL pointer access on deroff() failure after '.SS ""'.
* Fix a segfault that could be triggered by two invalid .Dt macros.
* Fix two syntax errors in generated PDF files.
* Properly state the page size in generated PostScript files.
* Close a memory leak caused by missing gzclose(3).
* Fix misformatting of man(7) documents lacking .SH macros
in PostScript and PDF output.
* And many minor bugfixes.
--- THANKS TO ---
* Marc Espie (OpenBSD) for implementing the size reduction of
PostScript files, one additional patch for code simplification,
and two bug reports.

Changes in version 1.14.3, released on August 5, 2017

--- BUG FIXES ---
* man(7): Do not crash with out-of-bounds read access to a constant
array if .sp or a blank line immediately precedes .SS or .SH.
* mdoc(7): Do not crash with out-of-bounds read access to a constant
array if .sp or a blank line precede the first .Sh macro.
* tbl(7): Ignore explicitly specified negative column widths rather than
wrapping around to huge numbers and risking memory exhaustion.
* man(1): No longer use names that only occur in the SYNOPSIS section.
Gets rid of some surprising behaviour and bogus warnings.

Changes in version 1.14.2, released on July 28, 2017

--- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
* New mdoc(7) -Tmarkdown output mode.
* For -Thtml, implement internal hyperlinks pointing to authoritative
definitions of various syntax elements, similar to the ctags(1)-like
less(1) :t internal searching in terminal mode.

utility and a new -Wstyle message level with several new messages,
including validity checking of .Xr cross references.
* tbl(7): Implement automatic line breaking inside individual table
cells, and several other formatting improvements.
* eqn(7): Complete rewrite of the lexer, resulting in several bugfixes.
* Continue parser unification, in particular allowing generation
of syntax tree nodes on the roff(7) level, allowing implementation
of many additional roff requests.
--- REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY ---
* Delete the manpage(1) utility. It was never enabled in any release.
* Delete the -Txhtml command line option. It has been an obsolete
alias for the -Thtml output mode for more than two years.
--- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
* -Tlint now puts parser messages on stdout instead of stderr,
making commands like "man -l -Tlint *.1" useful.
* mdoc(7): Various .Lk formatting improvements.

* man(7): Implement the .MT/.ME block macro (mailto hyperlink).

* tbl(7): Implement the column spacing and the 'w' (minimum column
width) layout modifiers.

* eqn(7): Much improved font selection, including recognition of
well-known function names, and a few other formatting improvements.
* eqn(7) -Thtml: Use <mn> and <mo> in addition to <mi>.
* roff(7): Implement the .ce (centering), .mc (margin character),
.rj (right justify), .ta (define tab stops), .ti (temporary indent),
.als (macro alias), .ec and .eo (escape character control),
.po (page offset), and .rn (macro rename) requests.
* roff(7) .am: Implement appending to mdoc(7) and man(7) macros.
* roff(7): implement the \h (horizontol motion), \l (horizontal
line drawing), and \p (break output line) escape sequences,
and also several additional character escape sequences.
* roff(7): Implement the 'd' conditional (macro or string defined).
* man.cgi(8) now uses pledge(2), too.
* regress.pl(1): simpler user interface, better summary output,
simpler code, and no more recursion.
--- THANKS TO ---
* Anthony Bentley (OpenBSD) for the implementation of .MT/.ME,
reports of many bugs and missing features, and suggestions
for a number of feature and documentation improvements.

Import mdocml 1.12.3 from upstream CVS as of today.

Changes in version 1.12.3, released on December 31, 2013

* In the mdoc(7) SYNOPSIS, line breaks and hanging indentation
now work correctly for .Fo/.Fa/.Fc and .Fn blocks.
Thanks to Franco Fichtner for doing part of the work.
* The mdoc(7) .Bk macro got some addititonal bugfixes.
* In mdoc(7) macro arguments, double quotes can now be quoted
by doubling them, just like in man(7).
Thanks to Tsugutomo ENAMI for the patch.
* At the end of man(7) macro lines, end-of-sentence spacing
now works. Thanks to Franco Fichtner for the patch.
* For backward compatibility, the man(7) parser now supports the
man-ext .UR/.UE (uniform resource identifier) block macros.
* The man(7) parser now handles closing blocks that are not open
more gracefully.
* The man(7) parser now ignores blank lines right after .SH and .SS.
* In the man(7) formatter, reset indentation when leaving a block,
not just when entering the next one.
* The roff(7) .nr request now supports incrementing and decrementing
number registers and stops parsing the number right before the
first non-digit character.
* The roff(7) parser now supports the alternative escape sequence
syntax \C'uXXXX' for Unicode characters.
* The roff(7) parser now parses and ignores the .fam (font family)
and .hw (hyphenation points) requests and the \d and \u escape
sequences.
* The roff(7) manual got a new ESCAPE SEQUENCE REFERENCE.

Changes in version 1.12.2, released on Oktober 5, 2013

* The mdoc(7) to man(7) converter, to be called as mandoc -Tman,
is now fully functional.
* The mandoc(1) utility now supports the -Ios (default operating system)
input option, and the -Tutf8 output mode now actually works.
* The mandocdb(8) utility no longer truncates existing databases when
starting to build new ones, but only replaces them when the build
actually succeeds.
* The man(7) parser now supports the PD macro (paragraph distance),
and (for GNU man-ext compatibility only) EX (example block) and EE
(example end). Plus several bugfixes regarding indentation, line
breaks, and vertical spacing, and regarding RS following TP.
* The roff(7) parser now supports the \f(BI (bold+italic) font escape,
the \z (zero cursor advance) escape and the cc (change control
character) and it (input line trap) requests. Plus bugfixes regarding
the \t (tab) escape, nested escape sequences, and conditional requests.
* In mdoc(7), several bugs were fixed related to UTF-8 output of quoting
enclosures, delimiter handling, list indentation and horizontal and
vertical spacing, formatting of the Lk, %U, and %C macros, plus some
bugfixes related to the handling of syntax errors like badly nested
font blocks, stray Ta macros outside column lists, unterminated It Xo
blocks, and non-text children of Nm blocks.
* In tbl(7), the width of horizontal spans and the vertical spacing
around tables was corrected, and in man(7) files, a crash was fixed
that was triggered by some particular unclosed T{ macros.
* For mandoc developers, we now provide a tbl(3) library manual and
gmdiff, a very small, very simplistic groff-versus-mandoc output
comparison tool.
