v0.10.0
ManT 0.10.0
ManT 0.10.0 gives people and agents one addressable semantic outline across native man/mdoc and Markdown, makes focused multi-document exploration substantially more precise, and hardens local source, link, and terminal boundaries across Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Highlights
- Explore documentation from a compact semantic summary instead of materializing every option. The default outline reports section topology and role-aware entry counts; callers can expand all entries, selected kinds, or one returned section/entry root, then reuse an exact path or ID for focused reading.
- Address commands, options, markers, operands, configuration keys, environment variables, variables, values, and generic terms through one source-neutral semantic index. Complete Readline names, nested option/value relationships, authored forms, ambiguity candidates, and content-addressed collision IDs remain observable without lossy first-word aliases.
- Search and explain several linked documents with one global result model. Search offsets, totals, continuation cursors, and ordinals are authoritative across the complete breadth-first scope; prose-only explain probes retain their document, outline node, and line, while true misses provide executable outline and search guidance in CLI and MCP vocabulary.
- Use the same discovery controls from MCP as from the native CLI.
mant_findnow supports regular expressions, case policy, and result offsets;mant_searchexposes visible/generated-Markdown scope and global offsets; all five read-only tools retain stateless Unicode-scalar presentation paging. - Navigate richer outlines in the TUI without sacrificing density. Compact entry labels expand to complete authored forms on demand, whole-tree label changes retain the selected viewport row, confirmed search state survives dismissal, and external links cross the host boundary only as validated
ExternalUrivalues. - Rely on more faithful native manuals. This release preserves shared mdoc option descriptions, compact
.TPalias groups, headless indented continuations, explicit.Tgtargets, distinct tagged definitions, and inline styling/spacing semantics without merging unrelated prose. - Author complete semantic Markdown libraries. Explicit
mant:entriesdeclarations now support every semantic role, strictly formed negated dash options such as!--reloadEnvironment, full Windows/PowerShell environment-variable forms, and deterministic Markdown projection without accidental delimiter or mailto corruption. - Harden local maintenance and activation boundaries. Managed source roots and inventories are verified, archive extraction writes remain bounded, Windows Git updates avoid unreliable blob-filter hydration, offline doctor output distinguishes local consistency from remote freshness, URI components and decoded mailboxes are structurally validated, and rejected targets remain visible but inert.
- Publish crate versions independently. This product release selects
mant-ir 0.10.0,mant-protocol 0.10.0,mant-sources 0.9.2,mant-engine 0.10.0,mant-ui 0.10.0, andmant 0.10.0; unchangedlibmandoc-rs 0.9.1remains the compatible native parser dependency.
Breaking changes
- Structured clients must move from the v0.9 native family to
mant.request/v0.10,mant.query/v0.10,mant.document/v0.10, and the related v0.10 discriminators. Regenerate schemas withmant --schema all; v0.9 request objects are rejected by the closed v0.10 boundary. - Replace the removed
--outline=entries|sections|optionsforms with--outlineplus--outline-entries none|summary|all|KINDS. Use--outline-root SELECTORto expand one returned section or semantic entry. - Outline
detailin request JSON and MCP is replaced by the taggedentriesprojection and optionalroot. Search/excerpt consumers must use the new nested entry paths and globally authoritative scope-search pagination fields. - Generated semantic identities now use complete recognized names, role-qualified namespaces, and content-addressed collision suffixes. Do not retain inferred IDs across an upstream document change; rediscover the current outline and reuse a path or ID from that response.
mant-uiembedding callbacks receive a validated&ExternalUriinstead of an unclassified&str. Hosts should decide whether to open the provided HTTP(S)/mailto value without constructing unchecked targets.- The pre-1.0 Rust crates with changed public contracts advance to 0.10.0. Update dependent manifests to the explicit compatible requirements shown above;
mant-sourcesremains on its independent compatible0.9.2line andlibmandoc-rsremains at0.9.1.
