  • groff (1.20.1-3) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Tell 'make' (as well as 'make install') about docdir, so that it gets
        substituted properly into manual pages.
      * Adjust pic(1) and pdfroff(1) references to account for compression
        (closes: #498356).
      * Backport from upstream, fixing "bad character definition" warnings:
        - tmac/doc.tmac: Call `ec' before mapping characters.
    
    groff (1.20.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Make sure /usr/share/groff/current is only in groff-base, not also in
        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
        /usr/share/groff/current is owned by groff.
    
    groff (1.20.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release (closes: #196762, #415754). See the NEWS file for
        full details of improvements, to which I can't do justice here, but
        items relevant to Debian bug reports include:
        - Unicode input support has been very much improved, including a new
          'preconv' preprocessor which converts various input encodings to
          something groff can understand directly (closes: #322760), which also
          allows us to avoid the old and rather broken ascii8 device (closes:
          #533778); support for composite glyphs; and localisation files for
          several languages.
        - mdoc .Dt now allows overriding the volume name (closes: #176575).
        - Backquote formatting fixed in groff(1) (closes: #184603).
        - HTML output much improved, including a DOCTYPE (closes: #190209).
        - \[an] is now U+23AF, not U+2500 (closes: #382265).
        - rs/rq typo fixed in groff(7) (closes: #402854).
        - pic now supports up to 32 macro arguments, and ignores further
          arguments rather than crashing (closes: #453260).
      * Dropped multibyte patch. CJK is partially supported by way of Unicode
        input, but widths are wrong and proper line breaking is not implemented;
        this is planned to be added by way of "character classes". However, I
        can't justify holding new groff code out of Debian any longer when CJK
        manual pages can more or less be read with the new release.
      * Since the M and G fonts no longer exist:
        - \f5 and \f6 no longer break (closes: #227091);
        - We no longer get spurious devdvi font errors (closes: #194041);
        - We no longer fail to italicise or underline CJK text (closes:
          #288382).
        - Angle brackets around URLs no longer have broken widths (closes:
          #522323).
      * Add localisation macro files to groff-base.
      * Adjust #! line of font/devlj4/generate/special.awk; awk is in
        /usr/bin/awk on Debian, not /bin/awk.
      * Add preconv to groff-base.
      * Imported into a branch on bzr.debian.org; add Vcs-Bzr control field.
