Version 1.22.4 released
=======================
2018-12-18 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Fix 'dvi' and 'pdf' texinfo doc generation.
GNU make has a built-in variable 'TEXI2DVI' but it is not the case
of all 'make' implementations, which causes 'make doc' to fail
with an unclear message although 'texi2dvi' is available. Also,
'texi2dvi' is invoked inconditionnally.
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_TEXI2DVI): new macro to detect properly the
presence of 'texi2dvi'.
* configure.ac: use 'GROFF_TEXI2DVI' and define automake conditional
'HAVE_TEXI2DVI'.
* doc/doc.am:
- Define TEXI2DVI to 'texi2dvi'.
- Print an error message if 'texi2dvi' is not available.
2018-12-14 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* doc/groff.texi: Drop documentation of "man" macro package from
our Texinfo manual. The mdoc, me, mm, and mom packages all
maintain their documentation externally to this manual as
well. Exception: portions not about man proper--which are not
duplicated from groff_man(7)--on use of man.local (including
examples of Ultrix-compatible macros) are retained.
2018-12-08 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Install texinfo doc on 'make install-pdf' and 'make install-html'
* doc/doc.am:
- Use automake 'install-pdf-local' and 'install-html-local' rules
to install groff.pdf and groff.html
- New rules 'uninstall_pdf' and 'uninstall_html'.
- Use $(RM) instead of 'rm'.
- Don't try to build doc if 'BUILD_INFODOC' is not set.
* INSTALL.REPO: document texinfo build and installation.
2018-12-10 Ingo Schwarze <[email protected]>
* Makefile.am: Remove the unused variables PREFIXMAN5 and PREFIXMAN7.
They caused installation failures on Solaris 9.
2018-12-08 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Remove gnulib's hypot module.
The removal of 'GROFF_NEED_DECLARATION([hypot])' in 'configure.ac'
was correct as the test was buggy, but there is no need to use
gnulib's hypot module as previously we did not need to provide a
replacement function.
* bootstrap.conf: do it.
2018-12-08 Deri James <[email protected]>
Problem running gropdf on big endian (Sparc)
* src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.pl: Prior to perl v5.9 the 'L<'
template for 'unpack' was unavailable. Solaris 10 uses v5.8.4
so safer to use the template 'V' rather than 'L<'.
2018-12-08 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Use gnulib's 'hypot' module.
In 'configure.ac', the macro call
'GROFF_NEED_DECLARATION([hypot])' checks whether the function
'hypot' is correctly declared in 'math.h', but the test is buggy
and may yields false results.
* bootsrap.conf: add 'hypot' module.
* configure.ac: Remove GROFF_NEED_DECLARATION([hypot]).
* src/libs/libgroff/hypot.cpp: remove declaration of hypot.
2018-12-07 Deri James <[email protected]>
Problem running gropdf on big endian (Sparc)
* src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.pl: When loading a binary (.pfb)
font for embedding always use little endian to unpack chunk
headers.
2018-12-05 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Skip mom tests if needed config is missing.
* contrib/mom/examples/test-mom.sh.in: exit 77 if URW fonts are
not available.
* contrib/mom/mom.am: distribute inconditionnally test-mom.in.
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_URW_FONTS): check if 'awk' and 'gs' are
available, and replace non-portable 'grep' command by awk script.
2018-12-01 Colin Watson <[email protected]>
Fix error handling in tests of mom examples
* contrib/mom/examples/test-mom.sh.in (check_number_pages): Correct
error message.
(check_has_images): Correct shell syntax error.
2018-11-26 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Document .sp behaviour in -me doc -- French translation
* doc/meintro_fr.me: translation of commit
7a83f7f5003e24f020306f09f4d497e04e82cb14.
Fixes bug https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54958.
2018-11-24 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Fix tarball generation: script 'makevarescape.sed' was missing.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): add it.
2018-11-24 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Add automatic tests on mom examples
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_PDFTOOLS): check presence of some pdf tools.
* configure.ac: use 'GROFF_PDFTOOLS', add new AM conditional.
* contrib/mom/examples/test-mom.sh.in: new file that use 'pdfinfo'
and 'pdfimages' to make some basic checks on mom examples.
2018-11-21 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
tmac/sv.tmac: Set Swedish hyphenation flags to 32.
This permits hyphenation after the first character but continues
prohibiting it before the last character of a word, in
congruence with the TeX-based hyphenation patterns we use.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?55066>.
2018-11-19 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Fix build on environment where /etc/papersize contains comments
Issue introduced on commit efea81c75f831ddc6717c2ef25556e0f49d1f679.
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_PAGE): remove comments and get the 1st string
of '/etc/papersize'.
2018-11-12 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_PAGE): Try /etc/papersize first.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?53271>.
2018-11-12 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* bootstrap.conf: Bump Autoconf dependency to 2.68. We need it
to support our bug-reporting URL, which contains a "?".
Strictly, Autoconf 2.65 is fine, but 2.66 and 2.67 broke this.
Even 2.69 is over 6 years old now.
See <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107450>.
2018-11-12 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_PAGE): Quote shell variables that are under
external control and may contain embedded whitespace. A test
shows that our configure script is now robust in this way, but
our Automake files are not, starting with
src/utils/afmtodit/afmtodit.am.
2018-11-12 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* makevarescape.sed:
- Escape plain spaces and double-quotes (ASCII 32 and 34) so
that bad things don't happen if they are embedded in a Make
variable expanded in a man page @THUS@ _and_ given as an
argument to a macro that distinguishes its parameters, such
as .IR.
- Add discretionary breaks after groups of slashes not
preceded by a space; e.g., transform "/usr/bin/groff" into
"/usr/\:bin/\:groff". Will also work on URLs
{"https://\:example.com/\:page.html"} in case we need that.
2018-11-11 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>

Stop spelling "Unix" as "UNIX".
Per AT&T Bell Labs veterans Doug McIlroy and Meg McRoberts,
spelling "Unix" in full caps was a contrivance insisted upon by
AT&T lawyers, and not a practice used in the Unix manuals
themselves or the Bell Labs Technical Journal. See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2015-01/msg00026.html
and
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2015-01/msg00029.html
for support.
There are instances I did _not_ change; they may require further
review.
ChangeLog.*
NEWS
One reference relevant to mdoc; see below.
doc/meintro{,_fr}.me
These documents also give the small caps
treatment to groff, troff, and nroff, suggesting
a separate changeset.
src/preproc/pic/pic.ypp
Contains a comment referring to "Compaq Tru64
UNIX"; not worth the candle IMO.
tmac/s.tmac:
{ms macro package} Leaving UX macro definition
alone until/unless it can be established that
this doesn't change the rendering of historical
documents in an objectionable way.
tmac/doc-syms-u:
tmac/doc-old.tmac-u:
tmac/doc-common-u:
tmac/groff_mdoc.7.man:
{mdoc macro package} Similar; mdoc defines many
strings that spit out "UNIX" (albeit not with a
font size change).

man pages: Escape interpolated Make variables.
* makevarescape.sed: Transform - to \-, ~ to \(ti, and so forth,
{with an extra layer of backslashes--see below} so that Makefile
variables containing ASCII characters that do not represent
themselves literally in *roff (see groff_char(7)) are correctly
interpolated into man page text.
* Makefile.am (.man): Transform Makefile variables with the
above script when interpolating them into man page text.
Note that while the script, combined with this target, will
transform ` to \(ga, including grave accents in Makefile
variables is likely to fail when the shell lexes the argument to
echo within the old-style command substitution ``. Testing
shows that grave accents should work[1] if POSIX-style command
substitution $() is done instead. However, $() is less
portable. (Triple-escaping grave accents \\\` inside the
interpolated Makefile variable will work, but is not attempted
at present.)
Note also that the amount of backslash-escaping in the sed
script is excessive (and incorrect) for normal purposes, but
required here because a command substitution is being nested
inside yet another invocation of sed.
{1} For this target; no assurances about the good behavior of
unusual characters in Makefile variables in other aspects of the
groff build are offered.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?55004>.
2018-11-06 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* src/utils/lookbib/lookbib.cpp: Doesn't make much sense to mark
Version_string as a C extern if you're just going to hide it in
a throwaway scope again. Remove braces, exposing it.
"lookbib -v" now reports a version number, instead of "(null)".
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?54972>.
2018-11-06 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* src/libs/libgroff/error.cpp (do_error_with_file_and_line):
If:
a program name is known;
but
no file is being processed or the line number is negative,
then there was no space between the program name (with colon),
and the succeeding diagnostic message.
Example: lookbib:fatal error: no databases
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?54971>.
2018-11-05 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
Make strip.sed operate only if given permission.
* tmac/strip.sed: Do nothing whatsoever to any input file that
lacks a line matching "%beginstrip%". This implements a
contract between the macro file writer and the stripper script
{roff input is not parseable with crude weaponry like regular
expressions}. In practice, most of the changes performed by the
script were already in a block enforcing this. My changes:
- Stop unconditionally inserting a roff comment noting the
reader of stripping at line 2. Instead, replace the line
matching "%beginstrip%" with this comment if and only if it
is present.
- Stop deleting lines containing only the empty request if
they occur before "%beginstrip%".
- Tweak the wording of the roff comment.
- Remove comment within the sed script; see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2017-11/msg00057.html
and the sed section of "Limitations of Usual Tools" in the
GNU Autoconf Manual.
Invalidates <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?53784>.
2018-11-04 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* tmac/an-old.tmac: When emitting diagnostics, report the name
of the macro file complaining, and the name and line number of
the input file at the time of trouble. Thanks to Bjarni Ingi
Gislason for part of the patch.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54175> and continues the
long process of fixing <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52463>.
2018-11-04 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* doc/meintro_fr.me: Add encoding hint to top of file so preconv
works correctly even if the build environment's encoding is not
UTF-8. Adapted from Bjarni Ingi Gislason's patch. Also add
long-form Emacs coding declaration at end of file. Vim's
auto-detection seems to be fine, so did not update its modeline.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?54530>.
2018-11-04 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* tmac/groff_man.7.man: Reorganize and largely rewrite to more
precisely document the macro package's behavior and to be more
helpful and accessible to man page writers who may never read
any other groff documentation.
2018-10-25 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
Clarify meaning of \p escape. Also make more explicit that line
adjustment for the .brp request and \p escape depends on the
current adjustment mode.
* doc/groff.texi: Clarify that \p has effect at the next word
boundary. Thanks to Dave <barx> for pointing out the issue and
providing elucidating language.
* man/groff.7.man: Similar, but terser.
Fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?54894.

* gnulib: now points on dce8759f0f0236a860a3e68b63c5e99cc6f168f9
from 'gnulib' repository. This fixes build error with glibc 2.28

[dvi] Fix glyph map for `cmitt10'.
Problem reported by Pali Rohár <[email protected]>.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2018-05/msg00088.html
* font/devdvi/texitt.map: New file. This is identical to
`textt.map' except the dollar glyph, which gets replaced by the
pound glyph.
* font/devdvi/generate/Makefile (CWI): Use `texitt.map'.
* font/devdvi/CWI: Regenerated.

Improve diagnostics on bad hyphenation requests.
* src/roff/troff/env.cpp: Add new HYPHEN_* symbols to anonymous
enum.
* src/roff/troff/env.cpp (hyphenate_request):
- Warn about hyphenation request values that are completely
out of range.
- Report bad hyphenation request value in diagnostic messages.

* contrib/grap2graph/grap2graph.1.man: Make editorial/style
changes and minor corrections.

eqn2graph: Remove -unsafe option.
* contrib/eqn2graph/eqn2graph.sh: Unrecognize "-unsafe" option
and eliminate $groff_opts variable. As far as I can tell, this
option had no effect because (1) pic is not run on the input
stream (no -p argument to groff); (2) eqn doesn't support
"shelling out" as pic does; and (3) there is no way to embed
*roff requests inside a sequence of eqn commands. If I'm wrong,
let me know.
* contrib/eqn2graph/eqn2graph.1.man: Undocument "-unsafe"
option.

pic2graph: Refactor temp directory handling.
* contrib/pic2graph/pic2graph.sh: Issue a diagnostic and give up
if the user's desired temporary directory does not exist. Also
document the Bashism $RANDOM and work around its absence.
2018-04-25 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
pic2graph: Handle embedded whitespace in temp dir.
* contrib/pic2graph/pic2graph.sh: Quote shell variables having
to do with the temporary directory's location; without
quotation, temporary directory names with embedded whitespace
are wrongly handled.
2018-04-24 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* doc/groff.texi: Bump end of copyright range to 2018. Werner
added substantial text this year about hyphenation.

2018-04-24 Deri James <[email protected]>
Restrict scaling factors to 3dp and better handle CR/LF in import.
* src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.pl: Restrict scaling factors to 3dp
rounded. If pdf imported with pdfpic uses CR/LF line termination
ibclude XObject Image, length of stream out by 1.
2018-04-23 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
man pages: Shorten version footer.
* **/*.man: Replace "Groff Version" with "groff" in the fourth
argument to .TH in all man pages. This suffices to keep that
part of the footer from overrunning the date, even in dirty
trees on 80-column terminals.
Fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?53721.
2018-04-23 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
pic2graph(1): Make editorial/style changes and minor
corrections.
2018-04-23 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
pic2graph: Adapt to old convert(1) programs.
* contrib/pic2graph/pic2graph.sh: Grep convert's -help output
for the string "-trim". If it is not found, the old method for
image trimming documented in pic2graph's man page, "-crop 0x0",
is used. I am motivated by the fact that the warning about this
in our man page is very old (10 years or more), and I wanted to
get rid of it.
pic2graph emits a warning when performing this fallback, in the
event the ImageMagick and/or GraphicsMagick teams surprise the
world again.
* contrib/pic2graph/pic2graph.1.man: Remove BUGS section, the
entire contents of which was dedicated to convert's change in
behavior.
2018-04-22 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
groff_man(7): Expand command synopsis section.
This section now explains in detail how to write (and read) a
command synopsis.
2018-04-12 Deri James <[email protected]>
Make PDFPIC behave the same whether -Tps or -Tpdf used.
Previously the -Tpdf version did not cause a break nor position
to the line beneath the imported picture, whilst the -Tps
version did.
* tmac/pdfpic.tmac: Corrected behavior.
* NEWS: Explain the change of behaviour and how to reinstate
the previous behaviour using register PDFPIC_NOSPACE or the
environment variable GROFF_PDFPIC_NOSPACE.
2018-03-27 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Define a short version for data installation dir name.
This is the full version stripped of any characters after the
third digit. Used for installation of font, macro and various
data (by default in /usr/local/share/groff). The various programs
and scripts still use the full version from gnulib script
'git-version-gen' .
* configure.ac (SHORT_VERSION): short version definition.
* Makefile.am: use 'SHORT_VERSION' for 'docdir' and 'datasubdir'
definitions.
2018-03-11 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Remove doc/automake_migration_tests.txt
Automake migration was completed long time ago and this file is no
longer needed.
2018-03-11 Colin Watson <[email protected]>
Switch to Gnulib implementation of snprintf
This is more actively maintained, straightforward to integrate now
that we have Gnulib integration, and simplifies groff's overall
licensing.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add `snprintf' and `vsnprintf'.
* configure.ac: Remove local checks for `snprintf' and `vsnprintf'.
* Makefile.am: Remove various comments related to local checks for
`snprintf' and `vsnprintf'.
* src/include/lib.h: Remove declarations of `snprintf' and
`vsnprintf'.
* src/libs/libgroff/libgroff.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove
`src/libs/snprintf/snprintf.c'.
* src/libs/snprintf/snprintf.c: Remove.
* LICENSES: Remove section about `src/libs/snprintf/snprintf.c'.
* MANIFEST: Remove entry for `src/libs/libxutil'.
2018-03-09 Deri James <[email protected]>
PDF must not open in presentation mode.
* src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.pl: When GROPDF_NOSLIDE=1

Allow a "." to signify a missing parameter in .pdftransition
* src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.1.man: Explain the .pdftransition
macro (and underlying '\X' command) accepts a "." to specify
a parameter retains its current value.
2018-03-09 Colin Watson <[email protected]>
man pages: fix incorrect cross-referenced section
* man/roff.7.man (FILE NAME EXTENSIONS): Correct reference to
groff_filenames(5).
2018-03-09 Colin Watson <[email protected]>
mdate.sh: rewrite in Perl
groff already requires perl to build. This version is much shorter
and easier to understand than the shell/awk version: we don't have
to worry about convincing ls to produce output that we can parse,
and we don't have to play games with the way that the same field may
contain either the year or the time depending on how old the file
is.
While I'm at it, this version also adds `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH' support
for reproducible builds: when `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH' is set, files are
considered to have been last modified at that time.
* mdate.sh: Rewrite in Perl, moving to ...
* mdate.pl: ... this new file.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST, .man): Update references.
2018-03-09 Colin Watson <[email protected]>
Remove #! lines from non-executable files
These are always invoked by the build system (either in-tree or via
the installed Makefiles) using the necessary program, so the #!
lines were unnecessary. They were harmless except that they caused
Debian's `lintian` tool to complain about installed non-executable
scripts.
* font/devlj4/generate/special.awk: Remove #! line.
* font/devps/generate/symbol.sed: Likewise.
2018-03-09 Colin Watson <[email protected]>
doc: stop generating W3C validation icons
Debian's `lintian' tool says:
These badges may be displayed to tell readers that care has been
taken to make a page compliant with W3C standards. Unfortunately,
downloading the image from www.w3.org might expose the reader's IP
address to potential tracking.
I think the risk is a small one, but I also don't think the badges
are especially valuable, so it doesn't seem like much to ask to just
drop them at least for groff's own documentation.
* doc/doc.am (.ms.html, doc/pic.html): Remove `-P-V' option.
2018-03-01 Deri James <[email protected]>
Place pdf in presentation mode if new commands used.
* src/devices/gropdf/gropdf: The new commands which
control page transitions should result in the pdf being
opened in presentation mode.
2018-03-02 Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]>
Hyphenation exceptions in pattern files now obey `.hy' (#53196).
* src/roff/troff/env.cpp (hyphen_trie::read_patterns_file): Mark
`\hyphenation' entries with a trailing space.
(hyphen_trie::insert_hyphenation): Updated.
(hyphenate): Make `\hyphenation' entries obey `.hy' restrictions.
* doc/groff.texi (.hy): Updated.
2018-03-01 Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]>
Adjust `.hy' values.
In most cases hyphenation constraints were too strict. The now
selected values reflect the parameters used for the generation of
the (TeX) hyphenation patterns.

tmac/e.tmac-u, tmac/fr.tmac, tmac/s.tmac, tmac/sv.tmac: Fix `.hy',
`\n[HY]', and `\n[doc-hyphen-flags]' values.
* doc/groff.texi, tmac/groff_man.7.man, tmac/groff_ms.7.man, NEWS:
Updated.
2018-03-01 Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]>
Fix some problems related to hyphenation.
Introduce values 16 (allow hyphenation before last character) and 32
(allow hyphenation after first character) to the `hy' request
(#48904).
Really fix problem reported in issue #48904.
Fix #53243, which is a regression introduced in 2016-09-09.
* src/roff/troff/env.cpp (HYPHEN_LAST_CHAR, HYPHEN_FIRST_CHAR): New
enumeration values.
(hyphenate_request): Check for contradicting values.
(environment::hyphenate_line): Fix minimum word length considered
for hyphenation.
(environment::print_env): Updated.
(hyphenate): Fix and extend logic. The original patch to handle
#48904 was bad.
* doc/groff.texi, man/groff_diff.7.man, NEWS: Updated.
2018-03-01 Deri James <[email protected]>
Add page transitions to pdfs created with gropdf.
* src/devices/gropdf.pl: Handle new '\X' commands to support page
transitions in presentation mode pdfs. These commands are a subset
of the commands used in present.tmac allowing slideshows to be
directly produced from -Tpdf without using postscript -> gpresent.pl
-> ghostscript.
* tmac/pdf.tmac: New macros '.pdfpause' and '.pdftransition' to
support page transitions.
* src/devices/gropdf.1.man: Document the '\X' commands supported.
2018-03-01 Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]>
Use $(AM_V_GEN) and $(AM_V_P) to silence even more file generation.
* font/devpdf/devpdf.am (BuildFoundries, DESC, Foundry,
build_font_files): Do it.
2018-02-28 Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]>
Use $(GROFF_V) to silence documentation creation.
* Makefile.am (GROFF_V): Define.
* doc/doc.am (.me.txt, .me.ps, .ms.html, .ms.txt, .ms.ps, pic.html,

* configure.ac: Activate silent Makefile rules.
2018-02-28 Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]>
Minor compilation warnings.
* src/devices/xditview/draw.c: Don't declare `MaxFontPosition'.

shadowing of `buf'.
2018-02-28 Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]>
* src/roff/troff/env.cpp: s/HYPHEN_/HYPHEN_NOT/ for clarification.
2018-02-26 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Update installation doc.
* INSTALL.REPO: mention that 'pkg-config' is a dependency.
* INSTALL.extra: add dependency 'makeinfo' and optional
dependencies 'pkg-config' and 'uchardet'.
* TESTS: move to doc/automake_migration_tests.txt
* INSTALL.gen: remove, this file is redundant with the 'INSTALL'
file from gnulib.
2018-02-02 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Update 'gnulib' submodule.
* gnulib: now points on cf56f8f618c48cfadd2499ced58574633d12f129
from 'gnulib' repository.
2018-02-02 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Use gnulib script 'git-version-gen' to define groff's version
* bootstrap.conf: add 'git-version-gen' script.
* configure.ac: suppress 'GROFF_VERSION_STRING' and replace it by
the script. If the current commit corresponds to a tag, then the
version is simply the tag name. Otherwise the version has the
format: <tag>-<nb_commits_from_latest_tag>-<commit sha1>. The
version is now stored in '.version'.
* REVISION: removed.
* VERSION: removed.
* Makefile.am: define 'MAJOR_VERSION', 'MINOR_VERSION' and
'REVISION'.
* src/libs/libgroff/libgroff.am: use 'MAJOR_VERSION',
'MINOR_VERSION' and 'REVISION', add dependency on '.version'.
* src/roff/troff/troff.am: ditto.
* contrib/mom/om.tmac-u (short_revision): new string that extracts
the first digit of the revision, to be used when checking groff
version.
2018-01-18 Deri James <[email protected]>
On reflection using an array for Filter is not optimal.
* src/devices/gropdf.pl: revert single line from commit
18fd1fd0bf05eb9a5ba0d2be1a655a044662a8bf.
2018-01-17 Deri James <[email protected]>
All values should be 3 decimals
* src/devices/gropdf.pl: for values approaching zero values
in the for 0.nnnnnnE-nn could be written, not valid syntax for
PDF. Make all values rounded to 3 decimals, becomes 0.000.
Also changed stream Filter dictionary entry to an array.
2018-01-14 Bertrand Garrigues <[email protected]>
Fix tarball generation ('make distcheck' failed)
* src/devices/xditview/xditview.am: add .h created by commit
382ab4af269a1dea422c8f9bb5c67a065d026deb to EXTRA_DIST
* contrib/mm/mm.am: restore distribution of files removed by

[mdoc]: rewrite the implementation of the .Lk macro
* tmac/doc.tmac-u (Lk): Rewrite.
The old implementation was written before the big mdoc
rewrite for groff-1.17. In contrast to most other macros,
it was never updated to use the new techniques.
This new implementation makes .Lk callable, makes trailing
punctuation work in the normal way, and makes the style of
the implementation consistent with other macros.
It also removes the feature of automatically switching
between in-line and displayed rendering depending on the
length of the link because that was inconsistent across
output modes and counter-intuitive, resulting in ugly
output for many existing real-world manual pages.
It now always renders in-line. Use .D1 Lk where desired.

man pages: Comment compatibility-mode switching.
The '.do' and '.cp' requests (both groffisms) are some of the
more obscure features of groff's own man page corpus.
Consequently, they get cargo-culted around, within and outside
groff. Thanks to Werner Lemberg for the discussion, which
revealed (to me) that groff ships with compatibility mode on by
default on Solaris 10 and 11.

* src/roff/troff/input.cpp:
Make writers to stderr identify themselves.
* font/devpdf/util/BuildFoundries.pl:
Same; also refactor all diagnostics into Notice(), Warn(), and
Die() functions, which delegate their common message-printing to
Msg().
Fix part of bug https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52463.

man pages: Fix compatibility-mode problems.
* contrib/gperl/gperl.1.man: Use idiomatic .BI macro instead of
leading an input line with a font escape followed by a dot,
the interpretation of which differs based on compatibility
mode.
* src/preproc/soelim/soelim.1.man: Make .mso request only after
compatibility mode is turned off.

* Makefile.am: Protect arguments to "tr" from globbing.
Prevents errors from tr during man page generation and possible
incorrect program prefixing in those pages if, for example, some
doofus has directories called "A", "B", ... hanging around in
the build tree.

* tmac/groff_mdoc.7.man: Use unstripped symbol names.
