Changes:
* Package 'ifxetex' is loaded for robuster detection of XeTeX.
* Fixed a bug where 'pass' option was not reset in \newgeometry.
* Fixed a bug where paper width and height were swapped unnecessarily
inside \newgeometry{} if 'landscape' is given as a class option.
* Changed crop marks with elbow-shaped lines 17mm long and offset by 3mm.
* Added 'showframe' and 'showcrop' as options shown in verbose mode.
* Fixed typos and wrong figures, and revised expressions in the document.
* Added missed things that had been fixed for v5.4 into changes.txt.
* New paper size presets for ISO C-series: 'c0paper' to 'c6paper'.
* Fixed a bug where overloading shipout in 'showframe' and/or 'showcrop'
mode caused warnings when 'pdfpages' package is used.
* Changed the shipout overloading process to use 'atbegshi' package.
Options 'showframe' and 'showcrop' require the package.
* Fixed a bug where restoring layoutwidth and layoutheight failed
when \restoregeometry is called.
* Fixed a bug that forced papersize to set the same length
as the specified layoutsize.
* Fixed a bug where page frame shown in 'showframe' mode was placed
slightly wrong.
* Fixed wrong 'h-part' calculation in verbose when bindingoffset
or mag is specified.
* Changed format and fixed values shown in verbose mode.
Changes since 4.1:
* Fixed missed initialization of \Gm@lines.
* Fixed a bug that the papersize setting explicitly specified
with \geometry or \usepackage in the preample didn't come to
\newgeometry.
* Added \mag offset adjustment for \newgeometry.
* Added 'onecolumn' option as a shorthand for 'twocolumn=false'.
* Changed the format of the verbose mode.
* Fixed a bug that caused an error in 'pass' option.
* Changing page layout mid-document.
The new commands \newgeometry{...} and \restoregeometry allow
users to change page dimensions in the middle of the document.
* A new set of options to specify the layout area.
The options specified for the area, in which the page dimensions
are calculated, are added: 'layout', 'layoutsize',
'layoutwidth', 'layoutheight' and so forth.
These options would help to print the specified
layout to a different sized paper. For example, with 'a4paper'
and 'layout=a5paper', the geometry package uses 'A5' layout to
calculate margins with the paper size still 'A4'.
* A new driver option 'xetex'.
The new driver option 'xetex' is added. The driver auto-detection
routine has been revised so as to avoid an error with undefined
control sequences. Note that 'geometry.cfg' in TeXLive, which
disables the auto-detection routine and sets 'pdftex', is no
longer necessary and has no problem even though it still exists.
To set 'xetex' is strongly recommended with XeLaTeX.
* New paper size presets for JIS B-series.
The papersize presets 'b0j' to 'b6j' for JIS (Japanese Industrial
Standards) B-series are added.
* Changing default for underspecified margin.
In the previous version, if only one margin was specified,
'bottom=1cm' for example, then geometry set the other margin with
the margin ratio (1:1 by default for the vertical dimensions)
and got 'top'=1cm in this case.
The version 5 sets the text-body size with the default 'scale'
(=0.7) and determine the unspecified margin.
* The option 'showframe' works on every page.
With 'showframe' option, the page frames are shown on every page.
In addition, the new option 'showcrop' would print cropmarks showing
the corners of the layout (the same as paper by default) on every page.
* Loading geometry.cfg precedes processing class options.
The previous version loaded 'geometry.cfg' after processing
the document class options. Now that the config file is
loaded before processing the class options, you can change the
behavior specified in 'geometry.cfg' by adding options into
\documentclass as well as \usepackage and \geometry.
* Deleted options: 'compat2' and 'twosideshift'.
The version 5 has no longer compatibility with the previous ones.
'compat2' and 'twosideshift' are gone for simplicity.
* Fixed check for the definition of \AtBeginShipoutFirst.
* Fixed \topskip adjustment so that it works when "lines" option is used.
* Added "driver=none" option, which does nothing for driver.
* Revised the note on "ifvtex" package.
