groff 1.22.1 has been released. It is available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/groff/ and mirrors of that site (see list of mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html). Current snapshots are available from ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/devel/.
groff is the GNU implementation of troff, a document formatting system. Included in this release are implementations of troff, pic, eqn, tbl, grn, refer, -man, -mdoc, -mom, and -ms macros, and drivers for PostScript, PDF, TeX dvi format, HP LaserJet 4 printers, Canon CAPSL printers, HTML and XHTML format (beta status), and typewriter-like devices. Also included is a modified version of the Berkeley -me macros, the enhanced version gxditview of the X11 xditview previewer, and an implementation of the -mm macros. See below for the relevant snippet from the NEWS file. Bug reports should go to bug-gr...@gnu.org. Enjoy! Werner ====================================================================== VERSION 1.22.1 ============== (Version 1.22 has not been released.) Groff ----- o A new option `-j' has been added to call the `chem' preprocessor. Tbl --- o Improved line numbering support. Macro Packages -------------- o Support for the `refer' preprocessor has been added to the -mm macro package. o In -me, the `TH' macro was changed for compatibility with line number support in tables. `bl' now works inside of blocks. The behaviour of centered blocks has been improved. Line numbering support has been improved. o The -mom macro package has reached version 2.0, focusing on PDF output with gropdf (using the new `pdfmom' wrapper script). See the file `version-2.html' of the -mom documentation for a list of the many changes. o Some generic Unicode fallback characters (mainly Roman numerals) have been added. Gropdf ------ o A new driver for generating PDF output directly, contributed by Deri James <d...@chuzzlewit.myzen.co.uk>. Note that this driver is written in Perl, thus you need a working Perl installation to run this output device. Pdfmom ------ o A new wrapper around groff that facilitates the production of PDF documents from files formatted with the -mom macros.
