For mandoc developers, we now provide a <A HREF="tbl.3.html">tbl(3)</A> library manual and <CODE>gmdiff</CODE>,
a very small, very simplistic groff-versus-mandoc output comparison tool.

+ <A HREF="history.html">Development history</A> going back to the beginning of the project, November 22, 2008.
+ One-line entries for important commits, releases, merges, hackathons and talks.
+ Makes it easy to find out who did what, and when, and when it became available where.
+ However, this is still incomplete, mentioning only a small fraction of all commits,
+ and to keep the size down, the individual entries are extremely terse and technical.
+ Feel free to look up more details and longer explanations about individual entries
+ in the ChangeLog or in CVS.
