Problems found with existing distfile:

No changes made to the libiconv distinfo file.
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
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.
maintainership (all this okayed by the old maintainer, Jeremy C. Reed).

(Fridrich)

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.

CHANGES:
0.8.6 - 0.8.7

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

- 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)
- Fix hangs while parsing a corrupted WP6ExtendedDocumentSummaryPacket (sum1,

OpenOffice.org (Fridrich)

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)
- Fix http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10279, a crash if a table
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.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).

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.
