This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
Pkgsrc changes:
- Fix HOMEPAGE
- Add empty USE_LANGUAGES as no compiler is needed to build this package
Upstream changes:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 0.18 2009-03-11
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Add patches from RT
* BOOK's ticket #24266: Proposed correction for bugs #1949 and #5759

* JJ's ticket #16764: Problem handling paragraph separators - incompatibility with perlpodspec
(Pod::POM 0.17 does not accept blank lines containing whitespace as
paragraph separators, it only accepts blank lines containing no
characters at all. According to perlpodspec, blank lines containing
whitespace should be taken as paragraph separators.
* Modified pom2 to search for viewer modules other than Pod, Text and
HTML in @INC, and to pass any options to the constructor method.
* pkgsrc change: sort PLIST.

the module XML::SAX:Base is at version 1.04 since 2002, no newer
release is available.
Since about the same time the Perl 5 module XML::SAX includes the
XML::SAX::Base module, the CHANGES file says:
0.11 03 Sep 2002 Matt Sergeant
- Base: Merged in XML::SAX::Base 1.04 (including memory leak fixes)
Hence the packages textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Base and textproc/p5-XML-SAX
are conflicting.
To resolve this situation and as discussed with he@:
- Remove the package textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Base.
- Make textproc/p5-XML-SAX conflicting with the now defunct
textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Base.
Bump PKGREVISION of textproc/p5-XML-SAX to 2.
- Adjust accordingly the dependencies of textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Writer:
make it depend on textproc/p5-XML-SAX.
Bump PKGREVISION of textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Writer to 1.
1. Version 8.3.3 (2009-01-02)
This release supercedes 8.3.2.
Bug fixes
* The broken and confusing numeration and numeration2 numbered list
attributes have been dropped, use the style attribute instead.
__________________________________________________________________
2. Version 8.3.2 (2009-01-01)
Additions and changes
* Added Gouichi Iisaka's Graphviz filter to distribution.
* The SidebarBlock element can now be rendered with an abstract
style.
* Reorganized filters into a separate subdirectory for each filter.
* Updated Makefile.in and MANIFEST files to reflect new filters
organization.
* Added listing style to LiteralBlock element so listings with nested
listing blocks can be rendered as a listing block.
* Changed example code filter to use preferred ListingBlock syntax
(the old ~ delimited filter syntax is no longer used).
* Implemented enumeration and enumeration2 numbered list attributes
for specifying the list numbering style (arabic, loweralpha,
upperalpha, lowerroman and upperroman).
* AsciiDoc now recognizes upperalpha, lowerroman and upperroman
numbers in listdef-numbered2 numbered lists and sets the number
style based on the style of the first numbered list item
(alternative to setting enumeration2 attribute).
* Updated formatlistpat definition in .vimrc example in User Guide.
* You can now backslash escape system block macros.
* Added Pychart FAQ.
* Drop paragraph text and list text, index and label match groups
from attributes -- they are included in the element's text and we
don't want them processed a second time as attributes.
* Changed comment line block macro to a passthrough block macro to
ensure no substitutions.
* A subslist no longer has to be appended to a PassthroughBlock macro
definition, if omitted no substitutions are performed.
* Code tidy up: replaced deprecated <> operator with !=.
* Removed unused linuxdoc code.
* Code tidy ups: dropped old types module reference; replaced
has_key() with preferred in operator.
Bug fixes
* Old syntax source highlight filter regression: special characters
where not escaped in DocBook outputs.
__________________________________________________________________
3. Version 8.3.1 (2008-12-14)
Additions and changes
* Replaced the install.sh script with Ben Walton's updated autoconf
scripts -- see [1]INSTALL for details.
* Added a generalized AttributeEntry syntax to allow arbitrary
configuration file entries to be set from within an AsciiDoc
document (suggested by Henrik Maier).
* Listing delimited blocks in DocBook outputs now support IDs; IDs of
titled Listing and Literal delimited blocks have been moved to the
enclosing DocBook example tag (thanks to Vijay Kumar for this
patch).
* Replaced vertical typewriter apostrophe with punctuation apostrophe
(thanks to Noah Slater).
Bug fixes
* Regression: Excluding double-quotes from unquoted attribute values
resulted in backward incompatibility, double-quotes in unquoted
attribute values has been reinstated.
* Regression: Text like &...; was sometimes mistaken for an entity
reference -- tightened up entity reference matching.
__________________________________________________________________
4. Version 8.3.0 (2008-11-29)
Additions and changes
* [2]AsciiDoc new tables is a complete redesign of the tables syntax
and generation. The new syntax and features are a huge improvement
over the old tables. The old tables syntax has been deprecated but
is currently still processed.
* [3]Lists can now be styled like other block elements. This allows a
single list syntax for glossary, qanda (Question and Answer) and
bibliography lists instead of having to remember a different syntax
for each type.
* Inline passthroughs macros have been improved and block passthrough
macros added. Attribute substitution can be optionally specified
when the macro is called.
* The passthrough block has a fully transparent passthrough delimited
block block style called pass.
* The asciimath and latexmath [4]passthrough macros along with
asciimath and latexmath [5]passthrough blocks provide a (backend
dependent) mechanism for rendering mathematical formulas. There are
[6]LaTeX Math, [7]AsciiMathML and [8]LaTeXMathML examples on the
AsciiDoc website.
* Reimplemented and cleaned up filter processing based on a patch
submitted by Kelly Anderson. Uses the newer subprocess module
instead of the deprecated popen2 module. Now works in Win32 command
shell.
* Addition FAQs, more documentation updates.
* Arbitrary HTML/XML entities can be entered in AsciiDoc source.
* Did away with the need for the shaded-literallayout.patch (thanks
to Henrik Maier for this patch).
* Implemented page break block macro.
* Added line breaks and ruler processing instructions to DocBook
outputs (thanks to Henrik Maier for this patch).
* Added deg (degree) and wj (word joiner) entity attributes (thanks
to Henrik Maier).
* Tweaked DocBook indexterm2 macro to avoid white space preceding the
term when used in table cells (thanks to Henrik Maier for this
patch).
* Title elements now process the options attribute like other block
elements.
* Added `single quoted' element.
* Spaces on both sides of a -- em-dash are translated to thin space
characters.
* Improved detection and reporting of malformed attribute lists.
* The list compact style is now a list option.
* Added strong labeled list option which makes the labels bold (HTML
outputs only).
* Dropped unsupported linuxdoc backend.
* Dropped deprecated xhtml-deprecated (version 6) backend.
* Added breakable and unbreakable attribute options to tables to
control table breaking across page boundaries (DocBook XSL/FO
outputs). By and in collaboration with Henrik Maier.
* Added pgwide attribute option to tables to table, block image,
horizontal labeled lists. Specifies that the element should be
rendered across the full text width of the page irrespective of the
current indentation (DocBook XSL/FO outputs). Thanks to Henrik
Maier for this patch.
* Vim syntax highlighter: spaces before/after bullets no longer
highlighted (which is ugly if using a theme that highlights with
underlines). Thanks to Donald Chai for this patch.
* Added a2x(1) --fop option.
* Added a2x(1) --no-xmllint option.
* Highlighted labelled list terms with the navy color in XHTML
outputs.
* Use w3m(1) as default a2x(1) text format generator (fallback to
lynx(1)).
* Changed callout formats in html4 and xhtml11 outputs to angle
brackets to match source highlighter rendering.
* Macros now inject user defined <optionname>-option attributes into
markup.
* Added IRC URLs to AsciiDoc inline macros.
* Added depth attribute to include::[] system macro.
* Added footnoteref inline macro.
* Added stylesheet XHTML attribute to specify additional custom CSS
stylesheet.
* If a paragraph style is specified it will be added to the XHTML
class attribute and DocBook role attribute.
* Replacements can be set in a document using the reserved
AttributeEntry name replacement.
* The prefix for auto-generated section name IDs can be set with the
idprefix attribute.
Bug fixes
* Escaped quote skipped over leading and trailing quote instead of
just the leading quote.
* Fixed bug that was causing false negative safe mode warnings (patch
submitted by Julien Palmas).
* Placed priority of AttributeEntry, AttributeList and BlockTitle
above Title. This ensures an AttributeEntry, AttributeList or
BlockTitle followed by a same length leading ListingBlock delimiter
is not mistaken for a two-line title.
* Vim syntax highlighter: fixed multi-line quoted text.
* Contstrained quote termination after non-space character enforced.
* Vim syntax highlighter: unterminated quoted text is no longer
highlighted.
* Vim syntax highlighter: passthroughs now exactly match AsciiDoc
semantics.
* Vim syntax highlighter: escaped quoted text, attribute references
and inline macros are not highlighted.
* Vim syntax highlighter: TODO's highlighted in CommentBlocks (thanks
to Scott Wall); non-greedy $$...$$.
* Vim syntax highlighter: Comment lines mistaken for vertical list
labels (thanks to Scott Wall).
* Vim syntax highlighter: Single unmatched $$ mistakenly highlighted
remaining text (patch contributed by Scott Wall).
* Callouts now work in source highlighted listing generated by
dblatex.
* Fixed exception that occured if undefined attribute was present in
filter command.
* AttributeList block can now follow a paragraph without intervening
blank line.
* The include macro tabsize attribute is no longer propagated to
nested includes.
Omissions
The following features were implemented but then but removed from this
release:
* pi, cdata and comment passthrough macros and passthrough block
styles (creeping featurism, use pass macros instead).
* Generic tag inline macro (creeping featurism, use pass macros
instead).
4.1. Compatibility issues
Version 8.3.0 has a number of backward incompatibilities with respect
to the previous 8.2.7 release:
* The old table syntax is still processed but a DEPRECATED warning is
issued.
* Entity references have to be escaped with a backslash.
* You have to explicitly precede horizontal style labeled lists with
the [horizontal] style attribute -- by default all labeled lists
are rendered vertically.
* The list compact style has been dropped and is now a list option
(use options="compact" in attribute lists).
* AsciiDoc version 6 sytnax no longer supported.
* Linuxdoc been removed from the distribution.
* The unsupported experimental latex backend has not been tested on
this release.
* The introduction of single-quote quoting requires that double-quote
quoting is escaped with two backslashes.
__________________________________________________________________
5. Version 8.2.7 (2008-07-04)
Additions and changes
* Added dvi, ps and tex output format options to a2x(1).
* Added --dblatex option to a2x(1) so dblatex(1) can be used to
generate PDFs.
* Added custom dblatex(1) configuration files (in distribution
./dblatex directory) that are used by a2x(1).
* dblatex(1) is now used to generate the distributed PDF version of
the AsciiDoc User Guide.
* If you don't need a customized the link caption you can enter the
http, https, ftp, file URLs and email addresses without any special
macro syntax -- you get the links by just cutting and pasting URLs
and emails addresses. This also makes it easier to open links
directly form AsciiDoc source ( most editors allow you to open URLs
directly). The Vim syntax highlighter has been updated to reflect
these changes.
* Highlighted source code paragraphs have been implemented -- it's a
much more convenient way to enter short code examples (see [9]the
online docs).
* The source highlighter and music filter syntax has changed -- they
now used the ListingBlock syntax customized with source and music
style attribute values. This follows the Paragraph styling
convention introduced by the source paragraph (previous item) and
is easier to read. The old syntax still works but has been
deprecated.
* QuoteBlocks now have a verse style -- you no longer have to nest a
verse LiteralBlock inside a QuoteBlock for verses. The verse style
on the LiteralBlock has been deprecated (still works though) and
the style attribute is positional attribute 1, pushing attribution
and citetitle attributes to the right (you'll need to insert a
quote attribute into your existing QuoteBlocks).
* It is no up to the DocBook processor to highlight source code
syntax in <programlisting> elements rather than GNU Highlighter --
this is the correct way to handle it, plus dblatex(1) makes a much
better job.
* scaledwidth and align attributes have been added to the image
macro. They apply to DocBook outputs (specifically for PDF
documents). scaledwidth sets the image size as a percent of the
available page width; align applies left, center or right
horizontal image justification.
* Added a2x(1) --fop-opts=FOP_OPTS option (patch submitted by Miklos
Vajna).
* Added a2x(1) --dblatex-opts=DBLATEX_OPTS option.
* Added Mikhail Yakshin's FOP 0.95 patch which fixes a long-standing
fo.xsl problem and allows PDF's to be generated with FOP 0.95
(previously had to use FOP 0.20.5).
* The User Guide has been updated and outdated FOP configuration and
installation sections removed.
Bug fixes
* Fixed stylesheets/xhtml11-manpage.css not being included when
linkcss attribute was used.
* Configuration file *-style attributes are now dumped correctly.
* Fixed FAILED: malformed section entry LaTeX backend error.
See the also the [10]AsciiDoc repository changelog.
1.82 (2009-01-05)
* NEW FEATURES
------------
* Add new hooks for user functions, for simple @-commands, and at the start and
end of special regions.
* BUG FIXES
---------
* Tests are now more cross-platform and more tolerant of missing optional
dependencies.
* Don't use unidecode on unicode characters that are known not to have a good
transliteration. This corresponds with characters with an @-command that
don't have a transliteration, like @exclamdown...
* Misc minor bug fixes.
1.80 (2009-01-01)
* NEW FEATURES
------------
* handle @alias, @quote*, @guillem*, @textdegree, @allowcodebreaks,
@fonttextsize, @hyphenation, @click, @clickstyle, @click, @arrow,
@clicksequence, @geq, @leq, @*headingmarks, @*footingmarks, @smallquotation,
@ogonek.
Handle @columnfractions and row prototypes in @multitable better.
* @documentlanguage is used to set the language each time it is seen (except
if the language was set on the command line).
* new option --css-ref, generate reference to a CSS URL.
* new option --transliterate-file-names, produce file names in ASCII
transliteration (set in the default case).
* use accesskey and rel attributes, use link element if set in the init file.
* use node id as targets for sections.
* COMPATIBILITY
-------------
* the API for the formatting of menus completly changed. $simple_menu_link
is removed, everything should be done in $menu_link.
* change handling of @detailmenu and menu comments, with (among other changes)
the menu function reference replaced by the menu_command function reference
also handling @detailmenu.
* tex4ht.init now may use a different external program for @tex and for
@math, and therefore the configuration variables were doubled and
their name changed.
* change in the interface, a new function reference print_element_header
has been added, that should print the heading navigation of an element.
Previously it was done in print_section.
* change in the normal_text function reference API, now there is an
input variable true if in simple text.
* change in the menu_entry and simple_menu_entry function reference API,
the name is always assed, and a new argument tells if there was an
explicit name.
* change in unknown function reference API, now there is a pass argument
to be able to handle unknown macros in other passes than the last.
Report from Reinhold Kainhofer.
* in table_item the text is not formatted with the format command,
the text_formatted argument is.
* definition index entries are now formatted with $definition_index_entry,
not with $definition_category anymore.
* $Texi2HTML::THISDOC{copying} is now $Texi2HTML::THISDOC{copying_comment}.
* TOC_LIST_ATTRIBUTE is now called NO_BULLET_LIST_ATTRIBUTE.
* TOC_LIST_STYLE is now called NO_BULLET_LIST_STYLE.
* changes in command line switches to synchronize with makeinfo:
--number becomes --number-sections
--separated-footnotes becomes --footnote-style
--sec-nav becomes --header
--Verbose becomes --verbose
--lang becomes --document-language
* everything before @setfilename is not outputted, like makeinfo. The previous
behaviour can be restored with $IGNORE_BEFORE_SETFILENAME = 0;
* Now there is an argtype possibility for definition specification
and the arg meaning changed. The whole definition parsing is now more
like makeinfo.
* internal_ref and external_ref don't change inforef to xref anymore.
* change in the heading API. THIS_HEADER is not used anymore.
New function reference, element_heading to format a node or a section
heading, including navigation and label. Accordingly, print_Top and
one_section don't print the element header anymore. Also it is
reported if the element is a new element, is the main element and
more arguments, and top element heading is always done in heading.
* print_element_header and print_navigation now return their result.
* new argument for print_misc and print_misc_header, the misc page name.
* printindex is called if it appears, even if the index is not defined or
there are no index entries.
* image API completly changed. The current behaviour is not stable, so
is not documented.
* new argument (@@-command name) for quotation and quotation_prepend_text.
* image file paths are not completed anymore in the default case. The previous
behaviour can be restored with $COMPLETE_IMAGE_PATHS set to true.
* there is a new 'style' key in $complex_format_map, to be able to
differentiate complex formats inheriting fonts and code_style (like
@format, @display).
* $EXTENSION should be undef if one doesn't want an extension to be added.
* THISDOC{'title'} and similar are now for @title since only one @title
should appear in the document. @settitle is tried first to set fulltitle.
* Configuration variables are not modified anymore, instead the variable
value is put in $Texi2HTML::THISDOC{'VAR'}. This is the case for
DO_CONTENTS, DO_SCONTENTS, CSS_LINES, BODYTEXT, DOCUMENT_DESCRIPTION,
DOCUMENT_ENCODING, IN_ENCODING, ENCODING_NAME, OUT_ENCODING.
For example, if $CSS_LINES is defined, the value is put in
$Texi2HTML::THISDOC{'CSS_LINES'} which is used for formatting, and if
$CSS_LINES is not defined, $Texi2HTML::THISDOC{'CSS_LINES'} is
autodetected.
* When there is no section and $USE_NODES is not set don't split by node.
This behaviour and the previous aren't documented, so it could change
in the future.
* BUG FIXES
---------
* --no-monolithic is reenabled.
* @, followed by an argument without brace is now handled. Report from
Jorge Barros de Abreu.
* @, is kept with --macro-expand.
* @math is more compatible with makeinfo/texi2dvi when no external program
is used. Using tex4ht for html generation should also lead to a correct
result.
* Handle right @end block commands followed by something else than a
spacing character.
* Remove trailing end of line in @html block.
* @itemize should produce bullets by default. Report from Reinhold Kainhofer.
* handle frame files like other files. Report from Reinhold Kainhofer.
on some platforms that lacked shared library support in the past. The
list hasn't been maintained at all and the gain is very limited, so just
get rid of it.
VERSION 1.20.1
==============
A packaging error made it necessary to publish this release. No
user-visible changes.
VERSION 1.20
============
Groff
-----
o XHTML support has been added to grohtml and can be specified by
-Txhtml. This option also utilizes the MathML capability of
eqn and combines the outputs of both in the final XHTML file.
Users can also specify the `-P-V' option together with `-Txhtml'
in groff. This has the effect of creating an XHTML validator
button at the bottom of each page.
o Some options have been added to control a new preprocessor,
`preconv' (see below): `-k' activates it, `-K' sets the input
encoding, and `-D' sets the default encoding.
o A new environment variable `GROFF_ENCODING' sets the encoding
of input files; it implies command option `-k'.
Troff
-----
o Two new requests `device' and `devicem' have been added which are
equivalents to the \X and \Y escapes, respectively.
o A new read-only number register `.br' is available which is set to 1
if a macro is called as .foo and to 0 if called as 'foo. This allows to
reliably modify requests.
.als bp@orig bp
.de bp
. tm before bp
. ie \\n[.br] .bp@orig
. el 'bp@orig
. tm after bp
..
o A new request `fzoom' has been added to adjust the optical size of a
font in relation to the others. The zoom factor is given in integer
multiples of 1/1000th. In the following example, the CR font is
magnified by 10% (the zoom factor is 1.1).
.fam P
.fzoom CR 1100
.ps 12
Palatino and \f[CR]Courier\f[]
The new number register `.zoom' holds the zoom value of the current font,
in multiples of 1/1000th.
o The `cflags' request has been extended with a new flag value 64, to be
used in combination with values 2 (break before character) and 4 (break
after character). If set, the hyphenation codes of the surrounding
characters are ignored.
o A new debugging request, `pev', has been added to print all of the current
known environments to stderr. It first prints the state of the current
environment, then iterates through all of the known environments, printing
each except the one that is current.
o A new escape `\$^' has been added. It represents the parameters of a
macro as if they were an argument to the `ds' request. This is used by
`trace.tmac'.
o A new read-only number register `.O' is available which returns the
current suppression level as set by the `\O' escape.
o The space width emitted by the `\|' and `\^' escape sequences can be
controlled on a per-font basis. If there is a glyph named `\|' or `\^',
respectively (note the leading backslash), defined in the current font
file, use this glyph's width instead of the default value.
This behaviour is not new, but hasn't been documented before.
Nroff
-----
o Two new command line options `-w' and `-W' are accepted and passed to
groff to enable and disable warning messages, respectively.
Preconv
-------
o This is a new preprocessor to convert various input encodings to something
groff understands (this is, ASCII and \[uXXXX] entities, with `XXXX' a
hexadecimal number with 4 to 6 digits, representing a Unicode input code).
Normally, preconv should be invoked with options `-k' and `-K' of groff.
See the preconv man page for details.
Pic
---
o int(x) now really behaves as documented: It truncates the non-integer part
of x, this is, it rounds towards zero and not towards the next integer
less than or equal to x.
o Pic now supports up to 32 macro arguments (and up to 16 on EBCDIC
platforms).
o Heinz-J
`yslanted', which can change the shape of boxes into arbitrary
parallelograms.
Tbl
---
o Latest versions of DWB tbl introduced an `x' column specifier for a single
column expanded to the line width. GNU tbl has now been extended to
support even multiple `x' specifiers within a table.
o To avoid collision with the new `x' specifier, a block formatting macro
must now be selected with specifier letter `m'.
Eqn
---
o Eric S. Raymond has added a new device type to eqn, MathML. When
-TMathML is enabled, eqn now emits MathML formula markup rather than
groff commands. The new groff -Txhtml device uses this.
Chem
----
o The preprocessor `chem' was added. `chem' is a roff language to generate
chemical structure diagrams. It generates `pic' output.
Grops
-----
o The PS font definition files have been regenerated with newer AFM versions
from Adobe's 35 core fonts as present in most Level 2 PS printers. The
changes are minor (most notably, the addition of the `Euro' glyph and an
extended set of kerning values).
For backwards compatibility, the old set of font definition files is still
available; for details please read the man page of grops.
Grotty
------
o \D'p...' is now supported if the polygon consists entirely of horizontal
and vertical lines.
Grohtml
-------
o XHTML support has been added.
o New command line option `-V' (to be used in XHTML mode) to produce an
XHTML validator button.
o New command line option `-y' to produce a right-justified groff signature
at the end of the document (in combination with option `-V').
Gxditview
---------
o Support for keyboard navigation has been improved.
o Similar to other X11 applications, there are now two resource files,
`GXditview' and `GXditview-color'.
Groffer
-------
o `groffer' version 1.* exists now in a shell and a Perl version.
Afmtodit
--------
o New option `-c' to output more font information as comments.
o New option `-k' to suppress output of kerning data.
o New option `-f NAME' to set the internal name of the groff font.
Macro Packages
--------------
o Joachim Walsdorff contributed the `hdtbl' package for the generation of
tables, using a syntax very similar to the HTML table model. For
example, a table with two cells and two rows looks like this:
.TBL cols=2
. TR .TD 1*1 .TD 1*2
. TR .TD 2*1 .TD 2*2
.ETB
Here the same table using a more expanded syntax:
.TBL cols=2
. TR
. TD 1*1
. TD 1*2
. TR
. TD 2*1
. TD 2*2
.ETB
Tables can be nested; `hdtbl' works without a preprocessor so that the
full capability of groff's macro engine is available.
This package currently works with `-Tps' only.
o -mandoc now supports multiple man pages (in either man or mdoc format).
o Fabrice M
possible to get French localization of the main macro packages (-ms, -mm,
-me, and -mom, but not -man and -mdoc which are localized differently) by
appending `-mfr' to the list of macro packages. Example:
groff -ms -mfr foo > foo.ps
Note that latin-9 input encoding is used for French (to support the `oe'
ligature).
o Swedish macro localization (with `-msv') has been added.
o German macro localization (with `-mde' and `-mden' for traditional and
new orthography, respectively) has been added.
o Czech macro localization (with `-mcs') has been added.
Note that latin-2 input encoding is used for Czech.
o A new macro `Dx' has been added to the mdoc package which identifies the
DragonFly OS.
o If mdoc is used to print multiple man pages (together with the -rcR=0
command line option), each man page now starts a new page.
o -mtrace has been considerably improved, now showing number and string
register assignments, among other things. See the groff_trace man page
for details.
o The PSPIC macro now works with all devices (producing a hollow
rectangle on devices which don't support inclusion of PS images) and
is loaded in troffrc at start-up.
o A new auxiliary macro package `62bit' has been added which provides some
macros for adding, multiplying, and dividing signed 62bit integers (mainly
to handle normal groff number operations without risking overflow errors).
o For -ms, Eric S. Raymond contributed support for ancient Bell Labs
localisms `.SC', `.UC', `.P1', and `.P2'. The latter three are enabled
only after .SC is called.
o A new string, `SN-STYLE', has been added to the ms macros, controlling
the formatting of section numbers in headings defined by `.NH'.
o The new macro package `ptx' provides a template definition for the `.xx'
macro as needed by GNU ptx (for creating permuted indices).
This module converts strings among 8-bit character sets defined by IETF
RFC 1345 (about 128 sets). The RFC document is included so you can look up
character set names and aliases; it's also read by the module when composing
conversion maps. Failing functions or objects return undef value.

It often happens that you have non-Roman text data in Unicode, but you can't
display it -- usually because you're trying to show it to a user via an
application that doesn't support Unicode, or because the fonts you need aren't
accessible. You could represent the Unicode characters as "???????" or
"\15BA\15A0\1610...", but that's nearly useless to the user who actually wants
to read what the text says.
What Text::Unidecode provides is a function, unidecode(...) that takes Unicode
data and tries to represent it in US-ASCII characters (i.e., the universally
displayable characters between 0x00 and 0x7F). The representation is almost
always an attempt at transliteration -- i.e., conveying, in Roman letters, the
pronunciation expressed by the text in some other writing system.
