Subject: mdocml: Polish the web page for the 1.12.2 release: * Manuals:
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 16:20:11 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201309232020.r8NKKBT7024712@krisdoz.my.domain> (raw)

Log Message:
-----------
Polish the web page for the 1.12.2 release:
* Manuals: Alphabetically sort "eqn" before "man".
* Downstream: List explicit downstream versions.  Yes, keeping this 
  up to date causes minimal work, but i consider it worth the effort.
* List all three places DragonFly scattered its mandoc build system to.
* News: Polish the wording.
* Note that groff is GPLv3, and remove the wrong claim that it's all GPL.
* Assert my Copyright.
