groff (1.23.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ G. Branden Robinson ]
  * debian/groff-base.mime: Run groff with '-t' to unconditionally preprocess
    with tbl(1).  Since these MIME types are assumed to be man pages anyway
    (hence the existing '-mandoc' option), it costs little to do this and will
    help many more documents render well.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Map "-", "'", and "`" to "\-", "\[aq]", and "\[ga]" again for UTF-8
    manual pages (closes: #1041731).

groff (1.23.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release (closes: #1040440):
    - [libdriver]: Fix SEGV in printer::set_ascii_char (closes: #421437).
    - [docs]: groff(7): Replace many uses of \[cq] with \[aq] when the
      latter is what is meant (closes: #551111).
    - [docs]: groff(7): Fix missing escape synonyms for '.ft' (closes:
      #1021961).
    - [tbl]: Regularize diagnostics (closes: #710178).
    - [troff]: Avoid infinite loop (closes: #892423).
    - [docs]: roff(7): Revise language referring to Emacs as the "best"
      program for editing roff documents (closes: #248529).
    - [mdoc]: Fix infinite loop (closes: #411227).
    - [mdoc]: Fix bad page number placement (closes: #919890).
    - [mdoc]: Improve output of .At 32v (closes: #991633).
    - [libbib]: Validate input to avoid heap overread (closes: #716109).
    - [fonts]: Fix \[oq] and \[cq] in X11 text fonts (closes: #243238).
    - [gropdf]: Recognize "com10" paper format (closes: #1009248).
    - [docs]: Document grotty pager requirements more prominently (closes:
      #257413).
    - [docs]: pic(1): Fix content nits, including no longer referring to
      pic.ms (closes: #1032227).
    - [tmac]: Define fallbacks for chars in Latin-[259] (closes: #782903).
    - [mdoc]: Drop thin and hair space escape sequences from several string
      definitions (closes: #1021795).
    - [mdoc]: Indent entire subsection heading by 3 ens, even if it breaks
      across output lines (closes: #1022179).
  * Build-depend on m4, texlive-base, and texlive-latex-base (closes:
    #1011666).
  * Override Lintian source-is-missing misfire (see #1019980).
  * Drop mapping of \(oq to ' on devices other than utf8; upstream does this
    now for latin1, which is probably good enough.
  * Adopt upstream's use of SGR escape sequences for man/mdoc (LP: #610609).
    I turned these off for Debian in 2002 because pagers didn't cope well at
    the time, but it's now 21 years later and things have changed; SGR
    escape sequences resolve some ambiguity (see #963490) and are required
    for new features such as clickable hyperlinks.
  * Honour /etc/papersize in PDF output, now that gropdf has the necessary
    support upstream (closes: #1030097).
  * Set doc-default-operating-system to "Debian" (closes: #284002).
  * Map "^" to "\[ha]" and "~" to "\[ti]" for man/mdoc on the utf8 device,
    to mitigate an upstream change likely to expose many glyph usage errors
    in manual pages (although those errors were already visible in PDF
    output).
  * Arrange to rebuild documentation from the original source.
  * Install groff.pdf (the PDF form of groff's Texinfo manual).
  * Only force time display to UTC when the time came from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
    (LP: #1908333).
  * Enable OSC 8 hyperlinks for man pages.

groff (1.22.4~rc5-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release candidate.
  * Drop papersize-pre-html.patch: the "printing" operation here is only for
    the purpose of extracting images, so all that matters is that the paper
    size be consistent across the various tools that are invoked.

    work.

  * Add GitLab CI configuration.
  * Adjust git-dpm tagging configuration.

groff (1.22.4~rc2-3) experimental; urgency=medium

  * Restore text versions of meintro.ps, meref.ps, and pic.ps, broken in
    1.22.3.rc1-1.
  * Remove debian/groff.info; upstream's build system installs these files
    by itself now.
  * Use #! /usr/bin/perl for all installed Perl scripts, per policy 10.4.
  * Remove dh_builddeb override to force gzip compression for groff-base;
    most of the rest of the debootstrap-installed set needs xz nowadays so
    that ship has sailed.

  * Drop obsolete build-dependency on xutils-dev.
  * Remove no-groff-x11 bootstrapping hack.  If anything like this is still
    needed, it should be reimplemented using build profiles, but since groff
    can be installed from a foreign architecture using multiarch I believe
    that this is now unnecessary.
  * Upgrade to debhelper v9, using dh-exec.
  * Build with large file support.
  * Remove long-obsolete maintainer script file migration code from 2001.

  * Add SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support to mdate.sh, and restore upstream code
    there to force the C locale.
  * Use gmtime in mdate.sh.
  * Remove unnecessary randomness from hdtbl example output.
  * Always use UTC times for display.
  * Sort Perl hash keys.
  * Build with LC_ALL=C.UTF-8.  To some extent this is a cop-out as other
    packages using groff may still need to do similarly; I believe the
    remaining important place where groff is character-set-sensitive in a
    way that affects reproducibility of output is in the HTML postprocessor,
    which sometimes inserts spaces in UTF-8 locales but not (for example) in
    ASCII locales.

  * Change Homepage from http://groff.ffii.org/ to
    https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/.  Suggested by Bernd Warken.
  * Don't compress *.mom examples.  They're not all that large, and this

groff (1.21-3) experimental; urgency=low

groff (1.21-2) experimental; urgency=low

groff (1.21-1) experimental; urgency=low
  * New upstream release:    - New warning category 'file'.

  * Honour /etc/papersize in DVI output.
  * Remove contrib/pdfmark/groff-pdfroff.* on clean.
  * Preserve src/preproc/eqn/eqn.cpp, src/preproc/eqn/eqn_tab.h,

groff (1.20.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

    groff (closes: #537667).
  * Bump groff-base Replaces: groff version to include 1.20.1-1, just in
    case the above bug confused some dpkg databases into believing that

    though that's only a fallback in case mktemp fails (closes: #489604).
  * Display more helpful output if a device was not found but is known to be
    one of the devices in the groff binary package rather than groff-base.
  * Define .PS and .PE to empty strings in pic output to inhibit -wmac
    warnings (closes: #495713); similarly, define .EQ and .EN to empty
    strings in eqn output.
  * Add information to debian/copyright (a file from newer groff releases
    and a clarifying e-mail) noting that upstream has relicensed the groff
    documentation under the terms of the GPL (closes: #374569).
  * Remove some fallback constructs from groffer that aren't necessary with
    POSIX shells and that break dash (closes: #489604).
