Description:
groff - GNU troff text-formatting system
groff-base - GNU troff text-formatting system (base system components)
Closes: 67545 121475 129835 149086
Changes:
groff (1.18-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release. Highlights:
- Colour support (although see below).
- New macro set, mom, mainly for non-scientific writers. The aim of
these macros is to make groff accessible for ordinary use with a
minimum of convoluted syntax.
- 'eu' and 'Eu' characters available for Euro support.
- Improved support for TeX hyphenation files.
- New means of setting the line length, which now works for -mdoc manual
pages as well as -man. Use man-db >= 2.4.0 to take advantage of this.
- Documentation of the differences between groff and Unix troff is now
in groff_diff(7).
- groff_mwww(1) has been renamed to groff_www(1).
- groff_ms(7) has been completely rewritten.
- New scripts: groffer, pic2graph, and eqn2graph.
- Substantial improvements in grohtml (although it's still alpha),
including dealing with overstriking properly (closes: #67545).

* Many thanks, again, to Fumitoshi UKAI for forward-porting the Japanese
patch.
* Disable the new ANSI colour/bold/underline escapes in nroff mode,
because most pagers either fail to cope with it or need special options
to do so. It can be re-enabled by editing /etc/groff/man.local and
/etc/groff/mdoc.local, or by setting the environment variable GROFF_SGR
to something non-empty.
* Drop most current /etc/papersize patches, as the 'papersize' DESC
keyword is now available upstream. We now only patch the DESC files and
extend the papersize keyword to allow falling back to something else if
/etc/papersize doesn't exist.
* Fix the removal of final newlines when reading /etc/papersize.
* Translate the 'oq' character to an apostrophe (0x27) rather than a
backquote (0x60) when using devices other than utf8 (closes: #149086).
.
* Merge groff-x11 back into groff, since this release doesn't have to
worry so much about smooth upgrades from potato (closes: #129835).
* Accordingly, remove the debconf note about this, since it was an abuse
of debconf anyway. README.Debian describes the package organization.
* Include more documentation in the main groff package (closes: #121475).
* Build-depend on gs, netpbm, and psutils for HTML documentation. Mention
in README.build that people bootstrapping a new port or otherwise
building the base system from scratch don't need these three.
* Recommend these three packages for the grohtml driver.
* Recommend imagemagick for pic2graph and eqn2graph.
* Downgrade libpaperg dependency to a recommendation, since we fall back
to a4 now if it's not installed.
* Use debhelper v3 mode.
* Upstream ships pre-built info files now, so use them. You need texinfo
(>= 4.2) if you want to regenerate them.
