mandoc: update to 1.14.4.
Changes in version 1.14.4, released on August 8, 2018
--- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
* In ASCII output, render mathematical symbols and greek letters
as transliterations conveying the characters' meanings rather
than trying to imitate their shape. Consequently, such characters
can now be used in portable manual pages. All the same, please
limit their use to contexts where they really matter, for example
when showing complicated mathematical formulae.
* First steps towards better support for small screens in HTML
output (responsive design): avoid most style= attributes, in
particular all hard-coded indentations and column widths, and
provide a better mandoc.css style sheet with a @media query,
using em units throughout, and avoiding redundancy in selectors.
* Better HTML output with some more fitting HTML elements, eliminating
needless class= attributes, and avoiding various HTML syntax errors
(element nesting, URL-fragment syntax, duplicate id= attributes).
--- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
* When a man(1) argument contains a slash, imply -l like in man-db.
* Use TIOCGWINSZ to reduce the default -Owidth and -Oindent during
interactive use on terminals narrower than 79 columns.
* Generated PostScript files are now more than 50% smaller.
* Terminal rendering of eqn(7) is improved in several respects.
* Simplified and nicer output from the mdoc(7) .Lk macro, formatting
all links in-line, even long ones.
* roff(7) \n+ and \n- numerical register auto-increment and -decrement
* roff(7) .nr optional third argument (auto-increment step size)
* Autodetect in ./configure whether the compiler can use -W and -static,
allowing to build on Solaris 10 and 11 without any configure.local.
--- RELIABILITY BUGFIXES ---
* Only activate UTF-8 output when the user really selected UTF-8,
not some other multibyte character encoding.
* Prevent excessive .ll arguments from generating infinite output.
* Fix out of bounds accesses to parse buffers that could happen when
using renamed or user defined macros after roff(7) conditionals.
* Avoid an assertion failure in certain .Bl -column lists.
* Avoid a NULL pointer access on deroff() failure after '.SS ""'.
* Fix a segfault that could be triggered by two invalid .Dt macros.
* Fix two syntax errors in generated PDF files.
* Properly state the page size in generated PostScript files.
* Close a memory leak caused by missing gzclose(3).
* Fix misformatting of man(7) documents lacking .SH macros
in PostScript and PDF output.
* And many minor bugfixes.
