mandoc-1.13.1 released

mandoc-1.13.1 released

[Ingo Schwarze]

Hello,

after more than seven months of active development including two
hackathons, i have just released mandoc = mdocml 1.13.1 on
<http://mdocml.bsd.lv/>.

This is a major feature release introducing the new apropos(1),
makewhatis(8), and man.cgi(8) semantic search suite based on an
SQLite3 database.  In addition to that, it features an almost
complete implementation of roff(7) numerical expressions, much
improved warning and error handling and messages, and numerous
minor new features and bugfixes in almost all areas.  See the
website for details, in particular <http://mdocml.bsd.lv/NEWS>.

Even though this release is the first one in the 1.13 series, it
is considered a mature and stable release ready for production.
The codebase has been used in production in OpenBSD-stable for
several months and is contained in the upcoming OpenBSD 5.6 release.
Upgrading from 1.12.3 to 1.13.1 is recommended for all systems
having working SQLite3 and fts(3) implementations.  Upgrading is
also recommended for all systems that do not want apropos(1),
makewhatis(8), or man.cgi(8), no matter whether or not they have
SQLite3 and fts(3).  Only systems requiring apropos(1) and makewhatis(8)
but lacking either SQLite3 or fts(3) should stay on 1.12.3 for now
and switch to 1.12.4 and then to 1.13.2 when these become available.
The 1.12.4 release is expected to happen within the next two weeks.

Special thanks to Marc Espie and Jeremy Evans (OpenBSD) for help
with various aspects of SQLite, to Sebastien Marie for a security
audit of man.cgi(8), to Bob Beck (OpenBSD) for lots of feedback on
the Web frontend, and to Kristaps Dzonsons (bsd.lv), Thomas Klausner
(NetBSD), and Paul Onyschuk (Alpine Linux) for release testing.

Enjoy mandoc, and see you in the mandoc tutorial at EuroBSDCon
in Sofia next month!

Yours,
  Ingo
