- 13-05-2010: - version 1.9.25 -

-

- Fixed handling of \*(Ba escape. Backed out -fno-ign-chars (pointless complexity). Fixed erroneous - breaking of literal lines. Fixed SYNOPSIS breaking lines before non-initial - macros. Changed default section ordering. Most importantly, the framework for - end-of-sentence double-spacing is in place, now implemented for the - end-of-sentence, end-of-line rule. This is a stable roll-back point - before the mandoc hackathon in Rostock! -

- 09-05-2010: - version 1.9.24 -

-

- Rolled back break-at-hyphen. -DUGLY is now the - default (no feature splits!). Free-form text is not de-chunked any more: lines - are passed whole-sale into the front-end, including whitespace. Added mailing - lists. Lastly, mdocml is the focus of two Google Summer of Code - projects this year: mandoc -Tps - (NetBSD) and BSD-licensed - Text-Processing Tools (FreeBSD). -
