Changelog:
0.10.0 - 0.10.1

may alter the compiler selection.
In this particular case, librevenge depends on boost-libs, which will
set GCC_REQD and possibly select a GCC dependency, so long as the compiler
hasn't been forcibly pre-selected by including compiler.mk too early.
Fixes build of libwpd on platforms with a native GCC older than what
boost-libs calls for.

CHANGES:

the documents (Fridrich)
- Support for WP Mac 1.x documents (Fridrich)
- Fix memory leak in standalone converters (Andrew Ziem)

- Fix an alignment bug where alignment was propagated from multicolumn
sections into following single column sections (Fridrich)
- Initial conversion of headers/footers in WP42 parser (Fridrich)

and parse correctly all functions (Fridrich)
- Fixed crash in wpd2foo if invoked with non-existing filename (Jody Goldberg)
- Assure that the table we send to the listener implementation is a valid
table independent of how messy the table is in the WP document (Fridrich)
- Fix situations where there is no tab position information in WPUs inside
the tabulator function; the fallback works now even if the position is 0

- Try to convert as much information as possible even in corrupted WP3, WP5 and
WP6 documents (Fridrich) - Libwpd now converts many documents that make crash
WordPerfect itself.

while still discarding plain text documents (Fridrich, Marc)
- Let the WP6 parser not die if the prefix packet it refers to is corrupted or
absent (Fridrich)

default font information (Fridrich)
- Conversion of foot/endnotes in WP5.x format (Fridrich)

OpenOffice.org (Fridrich)
- Make page margins constant between two hard page breaks (Fridrich)
- Convert page margin changes into section margins in multi-column sections

they are in into the first one. Fixes the off-page position of the second
table in 05mechanicalservice.wpd (Fridrich)
- Defer page span change to the end of the current paragraph if it is
opened in order to prevent a paragraph break where it is not there in the
original document (Fridrich)
- Fix http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10105, an incorrect
conversion of table alignment in WP3.x file format (Fridrich)

- Fix an issue with "==" operator for WPXPageSpan classes. The result is now
the same independent on the order of the operands (Fridrich)

from the middle of the tableList is in footnote and/or endnote (Marc, Fridrich)
- Add an option "--info" to wpd2text; called with this option, wpd2text dumps the
information of the document instead of converting it. This could be useful for
beagle (Fridrich)
- Refactoring of the listener structure and split of WPXListener into WPXContentListener
and WPXStylesListener (Fridrich, Marc and Cyrille Moureaux as a guest star)
since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
- Fix compilation with gcc >= 4.1.0
- Initial support for tables in WP5.x format
- Fix compilation on MacOSX
- Conversion of font name, size and colour for WP3.x format
- Collapse the LL and HL Listeners into one classe each
- Initial support of tables in WP3.x format including the cell background
colour
- Conversion of sections with multiple columns in WP3.x format
- Conversion of foot/endnotes in WP3.x format
- Adding an assignment operator to WPXString class as well as trying
to make it much more a std::string wrapper
From Jeremy Reed in pkgsrc-wip, updated to 0.8.1 by me.
libwpd is a library for reading and writing WordPerfect(tm)
documents.
This package also includes utilities for converting to HTML
and plain text.
