This file lists the most important changes in the mandoc.bsd.lv distribution.
+Changes in version 1.14.2, released on July XXX, 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.
+ * Provide a superset of the functionality of the former mdoclint(1)
+ 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 ---
+ * mdoc(7): Various .Lk formatting improvements.
+ * man(7): Implement the .MT/.ME block macro (mailto hyperlink).
+ * man(7): Implement the .DT macro (restore default tab positions).
+ * man(7): Improved support for manuals generated with reStructuredText
+ by partial support for the \n[an-margin] number register.
+ * man(7) -Thtml: Support deep linking to .SH and .SS headers.
+ * tbl(7): Implement the "allbox" table option.
+ * tbl(7): Implement the column spacing and the 'w' (minimum column
+ width) layout modifiers.
+ * tbl(7): Significant improvements of the manual page.
+ * 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.
+ --- THANKS TO ---

+ reports of many bugs and missing features, and suggestions
+ for a number of feature and documentation improvements.

+ for some useful discussions.

+ * Thomas Klausner (NetBSD) for lots of help while migrating
+ mdoclint(1) functionality to mandoc -Tlint, and for suggesting
+ several useful new messages.

+ suggesting a markdown output mode.

+ for inspiring new warning messages.
