Bug fixes are not described. There are more details in the man pages. -VERSION 1.11 +VERSION 1.13, 1.14, 1.15 +======================== + +Bug fixes only; no user-visible changes. + +VERSION 1.12 ============ -James Clark has written (11 Aug 1997): ->Frankly I don't known when I'm going to be able to do another groff ->release. At the moment, I have no time, no Unix machine, and not a lot ->of interest in doing it. If anybody else wants to take over groff ->maintenance, that would be fine with me. Last time I asked in ->gnu.groff.bug, nobody volunteered. +Finally, there are new maintainers for groff. Mailing lists and a CVS +repository are available also. See the file README for details. Not +all reported bug could be fixed, so please send mails again if +something is still not working. + +Most of the installation problems should have vanished now (most +notably the $(tmac_wrap) bug). + +There is now a man page called groff_man.man which documents the +basics of the -man macros. It has been originally written by Susan +G. Kleinmann <sgk@debian.org>. + +A (still incomplete) groff reference manual in texinfo format +originally contributed by Trent A. Fisher <trent@gnurd.portland.or.us>. + +me.man and msafer.man have been renamed to groff_me.man +resp. groff_msafer.man for consistency. + +Default strings for macros in doc-common resp. tmac.an no longer +contain the word `UNIX'. + +groff should now be Y2k safe (fixes contributed by Paul Eggert +<eggert@twinsun.com>). + +Following the GNU standards, groff will now use the prefix +`/usr/local/' as the default instead of replacing an existent groff +binary. + +groff, troff, nroff, and pic now support the -U flag to activate unsafe +behaviour (without -msafer); the -S flag for using the -msafer macros +is now the default. + +Grohtml +------- + +This is a new output device for producing HTML output contributed by +Gaius Mulley <gaius@glam.ac.uk>. It is still very alpha but has been +included into the distribution so that a lot of people have a chance +to test it. Bug reports are highly welcome. -This means groff is an orphan. It is looking for a maintainer. +Grolj4 +------ + +Duplex printing support has been contributed by Jeffrey Copeland +<jeff@opennt.com>. + +Soelim +------ + +Added -I option for defining include paths (patch contributed by Peter +Miller <peterm@jna.com.au>). + +Gxditview +--------- + +Fallback resources added (patch contributed by Larry Jones +<larry.jones@sdrc.com>). + +Will now support 8 gray levels. + +mm +-- + +New version 1.32 (contributed by Joergen Haegg <jh@axis.com>). + +VERSION 1.11 +============ Complete documentation for pic is now in the file doc/pic.ms.
