  [ 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.

    can be installed from a foreign architecture using multiarch I believe
    that this is now unnecessary.

  * 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.

    this from README.Debian since the upstream change of default means that

groff (1.18.1.1-10) unstable; urgency=low


  * Configure gxditview with 'xmkmf -DBuildXaw=NO' to override imake's
    incorrect ideas about library linkage and avoid libXp when linking with
    libXaw7. We don't need Xprint support anyway.

  * Too many fonts are missing the Unicode HYPHEN character, so I give up.
    Render "-" as HYPHEN-MINUS (ASCII 0x2D) by default. (Of course, manual
    pages using "-" when they should be using "\-" should still be fixed.)
