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.
